    摘要: A catheter system includes a catheter that includes an outer shaft and a rotatable inner shaft having a drill tip body. A distal portion of the outer shaft may include a collar that is configured to releasably engage with the drill tip body so that the collar can rotate with the drill tip. The drill tip body and the collar may include locking features that allow the drill tip body to advance within and rotationally couple with the collar. The catheter can be configured to bend laterally when the inner shaft is rotating within the other shaft for maneuvering within a blood vessel, for example, as the drill tip crosses an occlusion. The catheter may include a flushing feature to flush a distal region of the catheter to improve visibility for an imaging element of the catheter.

    摘要: An apparatus for digitally scanning dental prosthetic implants, including a plurality of scanbodies, each surrounded by a thread ring; each thread ring engages a portion of a linking thread; each scanbody is associable with a prosthesis or with the oral cavity. The scanning method includes the steps of: removing the prosthesis from the oral cavity, associating the scanbodies with the prosthesis outside the oral cavity, associating the scanbodies with one another by means of the thread rings and the linking thread, performing a digital scan of the entire unit outside the oral cavity or screwing the scanbodies to each implant inserted in the bone, associating the scanbodies with one another by means of the thread rings and the linking thread, performing a scan in the oral cavity.
