COMBINATION PHOTODYNAMIC DEVICES

摘要

Combination photodynamic devices (100) for repair and stabilization of a fractured or a weakened bone are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a combination photodynamic device (100) includes a load bearing member (115) and one or more conformable members (170) connected to the load bearing member (115), the conformable member (170) expandable from a deflated state to an inflated state. The load bearing member (115) is designed to reside inside a cavity of fractured or weakened bone and act as internal bone fixation and stabilization device. The conformable member (170) is designed to anchor the load bearing member (115) inside a bone cavity, transform the load bearing member (115) from a flexible state to a rigid state, contribute to fixating and stabilizing a fractured or a weakened bone, and provide longitudinal and rotational stability to a fractured or a weakened bone during the healing process or combinations thereof.
