This multilayered stent system is a natural evolution of the previous use of uncovered stents in saccular and popliteal aneurysms before the introduction of covered stent grafts. The theory is that the multilayed stent alters the flow dynamics of the blood leading to thrombosis of the sac...

The MUTARS attachment tube from implantcast is an attachment device used primarily to aid soft tissue reconstruction and joint stability after major tumour resection. The tube is manufactured from Trevira (polyethylene terephthalate (PET)), can be cut without unravelling, takes sutures...

The MUTARS partial pelvis replacement from implantcast is a customised pelvic reconstruction system for use after tumour resection including the acetabulum. The device is intended to fix into the remnant of the pelvis, and can be augmented with cancellous bone screws. In a...

This is a new development on the vascular plug them from EV3. As far as we are aware ths is the only vascular plug that you can deliver through a micro catheter. It should enable rapid and complete occlusion of even very small vessels. The plug is made from nitinol and partially covered with...

The MyKnee® Patient Matched Instrumentation system from Medacta is one of a number of emerging customised jig systems for primary knee replacement, in this case the Medacta GMK knee . Benefits of these systems are said to include better implant positioning, a more streamlined procedure...

This is now at least the 3rd generation of this device, first produced by access closure, then bought by Cordis Johnson and Johnson and became the Mynx Grip and now the Mynx control. Cordis say the MYNX CONTROL™ Vascular Closure Device (VCD) integrates dual-mode active sealing and...

NanoBone Putty from Artoss GmbH is a synthetic and absorbable bone autograft substitute with osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. The nanostructure gives it a large internal surface area, which increases bioactivity and resorption. Indications include fractures with bone loss, such as...

The NanoCross device is designed to reach a destination with an enhanced OTW .014 balloon designed to cross smoothly and deflate quickly.

This is a new non thermal tumour ablation technique that works by applying a short burst of high voltage DC current across the tumour. This causes irreversible disruption of the cell membrane and consequently cell death. The NanoKnife system consists of a generator and electrical probes which...

The Nanostim leadless pacemaker is designed to be placed directly in the heart without the visible surgical pocket, scar and insulated leads required for conventional pacemakers. Implanted via the femoral vein with a steerable catheter, the device offers a less-invasive approach for physicians...
