Transdermal Prosthesis

摘要

A transdermal implant assembly including a transdermal bone fixator configured for anchoring into a bone. The fixator includes a longitudinally extending shaft configured to be received into a recess of the bone, and a spindle defining a cavity. A compliant biasing member is disposed within the cavity and an end cap is removably coupled to the spindle to seal the cavity. The compliant biasing member is accessible for adjustments from the external environment.

1. A transdermal implant assembly for attaching an external prosthesis to a bone of a patient, the transdermal implant assembly comprising:
a transdermal bone fixator configured for anchoring into a recess of the bone, the transdermal bone fixator including:
a longitudinally extending shaft configured to be received into the recess of the bone;a spindle defining a cavity, the spindle having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end extends a distance past a dermis layer of the patient and is exposed to an environment external from the patient;a compliant biasing member disposed within the cavity; andan end cap removably coupled to the spindle and configured to seal the cavity; a prosthesis adapter coupled to the spindle and configured for connection to an external prosthetic device that is operable for use with the bone, wherein the compliant biasing member is accessible upon removal of the end cap for adjustments from the external environment.
