💥💥 💥 💥Endodontic laser treatment successfully addresses a major disadvantage of classical chemo-mechanical treatment procedures: the inability to completely clean, debride, and disinfect anatomically complex root canal systems 💥 💥 💥 The patient came to my office for re-re-treatment tooth 17. Previous dentists could not manage the broken Lentullo spiral. I was focused on retrieving broken spiral for too long and lost plenty of time. First visit took 1h. On the second visit, I found 4 canals and focused on disinfection with Fotona d.o.o. Laser what took the second h. I was impressed with the results. What do You think about lasers in endo? 🦷 Please write a comment or share some case 🙏 BTL Industries Dentsply Sirona Mariusz Wrzosek Bartłomiej Karaś #endo #laser #rootcanals #dentist #endo

A state-of-the-art facility with expertise in orthopedic, spine, dental, surgical robotics, and medical devices needed to upgrade its dust collection system within its production facility.   The application was for a sanding and buffing operation. The pedestal sanders and buffers were connected to an undersized and inefficient dust collector which resulted in fugitive dust escaping the system. This dust would settle on finished parts and work surfaces and cause the shop to look dirty.     Hastings installed an IVEC cartridge dust collector ducted to five drops on double-wheel pedestal buffers. Modifications were made to each buffer to add better hoods and duct connections to ensure the dust was contained and captured. Each pedestal triggers an IVEC gate to open and start the dust collector. The dust collector operates automatically and modulates based on filter pressure and demand from the buffers. To protect the people and facility, a spark cooler was included in the system design. The result is a much cleaner room and no dust escaping the process. The system has been installed for five years and the customer is pleased with the performance and filter life.

Stryker Orthopaedics - Triathlon - Total Knee Replacement We began in the OR, recording multiple surgical procedures and interviewing everyone with a stake in the instrument set: surgeons, scrub techs, nurses, sales staff, etc. We deconstructed the surgical procedure, step by step. enabling us to analyze each instrument and determine its value: is there a need for redesign, alteration, refinement, combination, omission? Weeks of intense sketch ideation followed. Concepts were debated, refined, then developed as semi-functional sketch models. Ergonomics and aesthetics took shape shape for design team and surgeon evaluation. Models were refined, then developed in CAD for semi-functional prototypes, providing a greater degree of feedback while also enabling detailed manufacturing discussions. Sawbone labs followed, and the more complex instruments were developed as cut-steel prototypes for cadaver lab testing. As feedback came in, CAD geometry was refined, FEA on critical components conducted, tolerance studies performed, and manufacturing drawings initiated. The new instrument set—Triathlon—has grown to become one of the most successful product lines in Stryker’s history. https://lnkd.in/gqcnDwKt

What are your thoughts when you see this? It’s only a matter of time until this is implemented everywhere. This extremely thin tissue example in the video below, makes me imagine the obvious benefits of Roller Based Suturing used in the small intestine or even vascular surgery.

I really did not think this was possible considering I am just engineer with no laparoscopic training. The tissue was insanely thin … ten thousands of an inch … and the sample was so small … I had to 3D print a fixture to hold it. I visualized in my head how I wanted things to go but thought it was just a dream; nevertheless, I set up the camera just in case. And then, OMG, OMG, OMG I did it on the first attempt … which was good considering I only had one tissue sample … I figured I was going to have to order more. I am so excited to share this, and I continue to be amazed at how easy roller based suturing is. I think my next step will be to learn how to tie knots. If you know how, it is easy to do with this device and we have had many surgeons do so in labs. Knot tying is basically the same as using a standard needle driver. It is the needle handling, as shown in the video, that is so much easier, safer, and faster. Thanks for watching and we would love your feedback and thoughts. #medicaldevices, #surgeons, #hospitals, #rollerbasedsuturing

Paul Horn GmbH #medicalmachining Nikhil Nayak NN Combined Engineering Agencies Pvt Ltd #Bonescrews are high-tech medical products to fix fractures. The variety of screw types is vast due to the differences between bones. The following read on these special screws provides an insight into their #production and features players who are creating them with the utmost #precision needed. #Sportsinjuries, car accidents, or mishaps at home – bone fractures can occur suddenly and unexpectedly. Not infrequently, they are so severe that surgery on the fracture is unavoidable. Depending on the injury, the treating surgeon decides between wires, #screwedplates, or long #bonescrews to fix the fracture. Few patients know that bone screws, in particular, are high-tech medical products. The company HG Medical from Raisting in Upper Bavaria is considered one of the leading subcontract manufacturers of these #specialscrews. It is a leading #contractmanufacturer of #orthopedicimplants for the lower and upper extremities and the #spine. To produce #bonescrews, hg medical relies on #Swisstypelathes from TRAUB GmbH and #whirlingtools from Paul Horn GmbH. In addition to conventional whirling, HG Medical uses the #highspeedwhirling process. Skull, spine, or femur – each requires a specific type of screw for bone fragment fixation. The variety of screw types is vast, reflecting the differences between these bones. The surgeon selects the appropriate #screw depending on the nature of the bone, such as hardness, porosity, and bone marrow. In addition to #selflocking screws with tapered threads or variable pitches, screws with a through hole are also used, through which bone cement can be injected for #stabilization. https://lnkd.in/dfxbunQ5

Did you know that #Solea emits a unique 9.3 μm wavelength, which nears the peak absorption of hydroxyapatite? The result? Solea vaporizes enamel (unlike other lasers that slowly chip it away), giving you the power to work anywhere in the oral cavity with speed and ease! Learn more: https://hubs.ly/Q02r6kbj0 Repost Missouri River Dental / Tim Anderson, DDS ・・・ The power of light and technology. I am continually amazed how the right wavelength of energy, 9.3um to be exact, can change a patients entire perspective of what it means to go to the dentist. #solealaser #teamsolea #soleanation #laserdentistry

The secrets of the core parts of medical devices: On the stage of surgery, these parts are the real heroes behind the scenes. Although they are small, they carry a huge mission. In our factory, every medical device part is as precious as a jewel in the crown. Producing them is an extreme challenge to precision. Starting from the selection of materials, it is like selecting the materials for the armor of the king, only the best is selected. The production process is like the most complex magic ritual, and each process is strictly controlled by engineers. Our factory is the birthplace of these parts. The production strength here is the solid backing of their quality, and it continuously delivers the "key of life" to the medical frontline! #Medical Devices #Medical device parts #cnc #CNC machining #Surface treatment
