The invention provides methods and systems for detecting a biomarker in a synovial fluid wherein the system also includes a control to ensure that the test sample is indeed synovial fluid. The biomarkers and the control for synovial fluid can be identified using proteomic methods, including but not limited to antibody based methods, such as an enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA), a radioimmunoassay (RIA), or a lateral flow immunoassay.

System for detecting infection in synovial fluid

A device for treating bone in a living body includes (a) comprises an implant configured for attachment to a bone; (b) a first sensor measuring a strain on a first portion of the implant, the first portion of the implant being configured to be mechanically coupled to a weakened portion of a bone when the implant is coupled to the bone in a target position in combination; and (c) a second sensor measuring strain in a non-weakened portion of the bone.

Method of normalizing implant strain readings to assess bone healing

A device and method for treating a hone includes a bone plate including first and second portions joined to one another via a connecting portion, a rigidity of the connecting portion being less than rigidities of each of the first and second portions in combination with a first sensor mounted on the first portion measuring strain on the first portion and a second sensor mounted on the second portion measuring strain on the second portion.

The present invention relates to a fully integrated sterilizable one time use disposable tissue visualization device and methods for using such devices. Preferred embodiments of the invention facilitate the visualization of an internal tissue site while causing a minimum of damage to the surrounding tissue. Further preferred embodiments may allow for the delivery of fluids and other treatment to an internal tissue site.

Fully integrated, disposable tissue visualization device

A linear actuator for pumping comprising a stator having an inner opening, a shaft having a plurality of permanent magnets spaced linearly in the axial direction, the shaft disposed in the stator opening and configured to reciprocate linearly in the axial direction relative to the stator, the stator comprising a first stator assembly having a plurality of pole sections spaced linearly in the axial direction and a plurality of coils disposed therebetween, a second stator assembly having a plurality of pole sections spaced linearly in the axial direction and a plurality of coils disposed therebetween, a bearing assembly positioned axially between the first stator assembly and the second stator assembly, and the bearing assembly having a width that is a function of the spacing of the plurality of pole sections of the first stator assembly and the second assembly and the spacing of the plurality of permanent magnets of the shaft.

Linear motor for pumping

A linear motor () comprising a stator () having an opening (), a mover () disposed in the opening and configured and arranged to reciprocate linearly in an axial direction (x-x) relative to the stator, the stator comprising a first pole section () and a second pole section () stacked in the axial direction and forming a recess () between them for receiving annular windings, the first pole section comprising a first laminate () having a first cross-sectional geometry () and a second laminate () having a second cross-sectional geometry () different from the first cross-sectional geometry, and the first laminate and the second laminate stacked in the axial direction.
