New Drugs and Technologies Overview of the 2011 Food and Drug Administration Circulatory System Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee Meeting on the Edwards SAPIENTM Transcatheter Heart Valve

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been developed as a novel approach for the treatment of high-risk patients with aortic stenosis (AS). Although surgical aortic valve replacement is the standard of care for patients with symptomatic AS, it is associated with poor outcome when applied to patients with extreme operative risk. This subset of patients is usually deferred from surger...

Rehabilitation Devices and Systems

Improving lower-limb prostheses is important to enhance the mobility of amputees. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an impedance-based control strategy (consisting of four novel algorithms) for an active knee and ankle prosthesis and test its generalizability across multiple walking speeds, walking surfaces, and users. The four algorithms increased ankle stiffness throughout stance, dec...

The use of non-orthopaedic devices for orthopaedic procedures.

The field of orthopaedics is constantly undergoing development through progress in basic science and clinical investigation. Being a dynamic specialty, surgeons have continued to develop ways to improve surgical steps in order to become more efficient and effective. This has involvedmodifying nonorthopaedic devices to suit particular procedures, resulting in relevant regulatory advice. A study ...
