Crepeau was one of the few surgeons in the U.S. that had trained extensively on the new BEAR Implant technology, and she shared details of the procedure with the Martini family. ...
The “world’s first in-heart microcomputer” and an endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) suture-delivery catheter were recognized Saturday as the best innovations of CRT 2021 Virtual. The judges chose the V-LAP implantable microcomputer (Vectorious Medical Technologies Ltd.), presented by Tal Hasin, MD, of Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem. ...
Finally, the static guides have small but signicant distortions associated with them, resulting in an accuracy of implant placement that varies widely. Studies have reported wide ranges of deviations in implant placement relative to the planned position in both apico-coronal and angular dimensions for most commercially available systems.2-6 Inaccurate ...
Twelve trials evaluated daily step counts, and the reported steps per day were slightly lower in patients on active cancer therapy (2885 to 8300 steps/day) compared to survivors (4660 to 11,000 steps per day). No studies included implantable monitoring devices. Current technology limitations While PRO platforms and wearable technology have ...
New technologies are emerging that are leading to the development of highly intelligent, implantable sensors, activators, and mobile robots that will provide in vivo diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, and functional replacement. Two key platform technologies that are required to facilitate the development of these neuromimetic and stimulative ...
