A fixation plate for securing an opening formed in a bone is provided. The fixation plate includes: a body securable to the bone, the body having a bone interface side and an outward facing side; and a wedge element extending from the bone interface side of the body for inserting into the opening formed in the bone. The wedge element is shaped to conform to contours of the opening formed in the bone. In some embodiments, the wedge element is provided with an evolutive canal. A corresponding method for designing a patient-specific fixation plate is also provided.

An apparatus for sterilizing a load in a sterilization chamber according to specific characteristics of the load without direct measurement of the load conditions. The apparatus preferably admits sterilant gas into the sterilization chamber under vacuum; during admission of the sterilant gas, the apparatus monitors a sterilant condensation related parameter or data in the sterilization chamber. The apparatus detects the occurrence of condensation and determining a value of the condensation related parameter while detecting condensation and, selects a sterilization cycle among a plurality of predetermined sterilization cycles according to the condensation related data. The apparatus then performs the selected sterilization cycle for sterilizing the load. The condensation related data may be the sterilant dew point, a degree of condensation, or an amount of condensation which may be determined in monitoring the chamber pressure during sterilant gas admission. The sterilization process may be controlled dynamically according to the determined condensation related data.

Sterilization apparatus and adaptive control thereof

A method for control of a process for sterilizing a load in a sterilization chamber according to specific characteristics of the load without direct measurement of the load conditions. The method preferably includes admitting sterilant gas into the sterilization chamber under vacuum; during admission of the sterilant gas, monitoring a sterilant condensation related parameter or data in the sterilization chamber; detecting the occurrence of condensation and determining a value of the condensation related parameter while detecting condensation; selecting a sterilization cycle among a plurality of predetermined sterilization cycles according to the condensation related data; and performing the selected sterilization cycle for sterilizing the load. The condensation related data may be the sterilant dew point, a degree of condensation, or an amount of condensation which may be determined in monitoring the chamber pressure during sterilant gas admission.
