Content
As used herein, a "shaft" refers to a long narrow structure, device, component, member, system, or assembly structured, organized, configured, designed, arranged, or engineered to support and/or connect a structure, device, component, member, system, connected to each end of the shaft. Typically, a shaft is configured to provide rigid support and integrity in view of a variety of forces including tensile force, compression force, torsion force, shear force, and the like. In addition, a shaft can be configured to provide rigid structural support and integrity in view of a loads including axial loads, torsional loads, transverse loads, and the like. A shaft may be oriented and function in a variety of orientations including vertical, horizontal, or any orientation between these and in two or three dimensions. A shaft may be made from a variety of materials including, but not limited to, metal, plastic, ceramic, wood, fiberglass, acrylic, carbon, biocompatible materials, biodegradable materials or the like. A shaft may be formed of any biocompatible materials, including but not limited to biocompatible metals such as Titanium, Titanium alloys, stainless steel alloys, cobalt-chromium steel alloys, nickel-titanium alloys, shape memory alloys such as Nitinol, biocompatible ceramics, and biocompatible polymers such as Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or a polylactide polymer (e.g. PLLA) and/or others, or any combination of these materials.
