The present invention relates to a medical device for treating, preventing or ameliorating an eye condition. The device comprises a cover, at least a portion of which comprises an antimicrobial agent and is at least partially filled with temperature control means. In use, the cover is arranged to contact a subject's eye and/or a surrounding area thereof, and the temperature control means is configured to modulate the temperature of the cover to thereby treat, prevent or ameliorate the eye condition.

The invention helps treat the problem of our perception of our own holistic wellness, both physically, mentally and spiritually using accessibility, portability, form, senses and design to balance unbalanced thoughts and achieve more clear perception of ones self. Anchoring to this fundamental paradigm, using our wellness invention method, we create an experience that lends itself to restoring the user to a balanced state or to a specific desired outcome, or feeling. It achieves this by layering concepts (inclusive of theories, practices, ideas, beliefs) from several disciplines across all the senses. Here is presented a wellness device featuring an enclosed space suited to inducing a feeling of wellness in a patient feeling unbalanced.

The compositions of the present invention comprise at least one medium polarity oil and at least one antibacterial agent, the combination of which produces a synergistic antibacterial effect against bacterial biofilms. Methods are disclosed for the reduction of bacteria in and/or elimination of bacterial biofilms on biological and non-biological surfaces, as well as methods for the treatment of wounds, skin lesions, mucous membrane lesions, and other biological surfaces infected or contaminated with bacterial biofilms.

An intravascular stent and method of making an intervascular stent having a hybrid pattern a. The hybrid pattern comprises a plurality of circumferentially self-expansible members comprising a plurality of interconnected, geometrically deformable closed cells, adjacent self-expansible members interconnected by a plurality of bridge members linking a first interconnection between two closed cells in a first self-expansible member to a second interconnection between two closed cells in a second self-expansible member, wherein the second interconnection is circumferentially offset and non-adjacent to the first interconnection.

In some illustrative examples, a medical drape suitable for treating a tissue site may include an adherent surface including first adherent force profile oriented along a first axis and a second adherent force profile oriented along a second axis. The first adherent force profile may have an average force less than an average force of the second adherent force profile. Other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also provided.

Bioresorbable silk fibroin tracheal stents can be designed and engineered to maintain a tracheal opening. A tracheal stent will maintain a tracheal opening for a period while tissue structure and function is restored. Bioresorbable silk fibroin tracheal stents programmably degrade without negative biological or clinical outcomes. Bioresorbable silk fibroin tracheal stents do not need to be removed following tracheal restoration. Bioresorbable biopolymer tracheal stents can be internally or externally deployed. Bioresorbable biopolymer tracheal stents, for example can be internally or externally deployed in a patient. Such stents may be affixed to function as a splint with tunable mechanically properties to treat, for example, a patient with severe airway collapse.

A soft tapping device for preparing a bone hole that includes a substantially cylindrical insert that is sized to enter into a compressed woven retention device. The substantially cylindrical insert has protrusions that are adaptable to expand portions of a compressed woven retention device inside the bone hole. The substantially cylindrical insert is also configured to exit from the compressed woven retention device without changing the expanded portions of the compressed woven retention device.

A medical device comprising a structure formed of polyvinyl alcohol.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a ceramic particle carrying medical tube and/or cuff excellent in cell adhesive property and the like.

A medical tube and/or cuff carrying a ceramic particle in at least a part thereof, wherein: the ceramic particle has a particle diameter within a range of 10 nm to 700 nm; the ceramic particle is a calcium phosphate sintered body particle; and the ceramic particle contains no calcium carbonate.

The present disclosure provides an implantable device comprising a substrate capable of capturing an intraocular target molecule and to methods of use thereof.
