A system for insulating a curtain wall structure is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of insulation hangers, a curtain wall insulation, and a safing insulation. The insulation hangers include a reinforcing member that engages a horizontal transom of the curtain wall structure. The system is attached only to horizontal transoms of the curtain wall structure via the insulation hangers to provide ease of installation and/or enhanced reliability.

Curtain wall insulation system

A talar implant system and method in one embodiment includes an articulation component with an articulating surface extending upwardly from a first plane and configured to articulate with a tibial component, and a distal portion for implanting in a bone, the distal portion having a longitudinal axis and configured to be rigidly coupled with respect to the first plane at any angular position selected from a range of angular positions within a second plane perpendicular to the first plane.

Talar implant system and method

A one-piece insulation mounting bracket is disclosed. The mounting bracket readily supports the insulation (e.g., curtain wall insulation) without the need for separate fasteners, locking washers, etc. As a result, the insulation can be mounted more quickly than with conventional mounting systems.

Insulation mounting bracket

A collar arranged to couple to a prosthetic component for implantation at the end of a long bone, the prosthetic component having a distal portion arranged to couple to the bone and a proximal neck portion arranged to couple to an articulation component. The collar comprises a plate including a neck hole to receive a neck portion, such that the collar can rotate about the neck portion. The collar further comprises a plurality of attachment portions for coupling the plate to bone fragments or soft tissues. The collar is lockable to the neck portion to prevent further rotation. A prosthesis comprising a combination of a collar, a prosthetic component and an articulation component, and a surgical method of using the collar are also disclosed.

Rotatable collar for a prosthesis

A surgical procedure method includes accessing an implanted joint prosthesis having an implant engaged within a bone of the joint and a first articulating component mounted by a first mating component to a first insert component removably mounted to the implant, and partially disassembling the accessed implanted joint prosthesis by removing the first insert component with the first articulating component fixed thereto from the implant while the implant is engaged with the bone. The angular position of the first mating component with respect to the first insert component is then determined and replicated with a second insert component and a second mating component. The second insert component and the second mating component are then fixed at the replicated angle and the fixed second insert component and second mating component are mounted to the implant engaged within the bone. A new articulating component is then mounted to the second mating component.

Method of implanting joint prosthesis with infinitely positionable head

A method of performing joint arthroplasty includes accessing a surface on a bone and supporting a stop with the accessed surface. The method includes positioning an instrument at least partially within the stop, the instrument having a body and a punch, the punch including a portion thereof having a shape similar to a shape of a stem of an implant, and rotating the stop with respect to the accessed surface based upon an indicia on one of the body and the stop so as to position the punch rotationally with respect to the accessed surface at a first orientation. The method further includes moving the body axially with respect to the stop to form a cavity in the bone with the punch at the first rotational orientation, the formed cavity having a shape similar to the stem of the implant, and implanting the stem of the implant into the cavity.

Punch, implant and associated method

A method for preparing an articulating component of a joint prosthesis, the prosthesis having an implant engaged within a bone of the joint, the method including inserting a first articulating component into a first insert in the implant within the bone of the joint, determining an angular orientation of the inserted first articulating component relative to the implant within the bone of the joint, positioning a second articulating component within a second insert component, replicating the angular orientation of the first articulating component in the second articulating component positioned within the second insert, fixing the second articulating component to the second insert component at the replicated angular orientation, and mounting the second insert component with the fixed second articulating component to the implant engaged within the bone of the joint.

A method of performing joint arthroplasty includes preparing a flat surface on a long bone, providing an instrument having a body and a punch extending from the body, the punch including a portion thereof having a shape similar to a stem of an implant, positioning a stop on the flat surface, rotating the stop with respect to the surface of the long bone based upon an indicia on one of the body and the stop so as to position the punch rotationally with respect to the surface to a desired orientation when the instrument is at least partially inserted into the stop, using the instrument to form a cavity in the long bone with the punch at the desired rotational orientation with the instrument inserted at least partially within the stop, the cavity having a shape similar to the stem of the implant, and implanting the stem into the cavity.

A mullion cover hanger and a curtain wall insulation system incorporating the mullion cover hanger are provided. The mullion cover hanger includes an elongated main body having hook members extending therefrom. When the mullion cover hanger is attached to a mullion, a mullion cover can be secured to the mullion cover hanger without using electric tools or additional fasteners.

A method for preparing an articulating component of a joint prosthesis having an implant engaged within a bone of the joint, the method including inserting a first articulating component into a first insert in the implant within the bone of the joint, determining an angular orientation of the inserted first articulating component relative to the implant within the bone of the joint, positioning a second articulating component within a second insert component, replicating the angular orientation of the first articulating component in the second articulating component positioned within the second insert, fixing the second articulating component to the second insert component at the replicated angular orientation, and mounting the second insert component with the fixed second articulating component to the implant engaged within the bone of the joint.
