Silicone compositions rapidly cross-linkable at ambient temperatures and methods of making and using same
Provided are rapidly cross-linkable silicone compositions, systems, kits, and methods for filling implanted medical devices in situ, the implanted medical devices, including for example, body implants and tissue expanders, the compositions including a platinum divinyl disiloxane complex; a low viscosity vinyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane; a low viscosity hydride terminated polydimethylsiloxane; and a silicone cross-linker, where the rapidly cross-linkable silicone composition has a viscosity of ≤150 cPs for ≥1 min. post-preparation and ≤300 cPs≤5 min. post-preparation, at ambient temperature.
Negative pressure wound therapy apparatus for post breast surgery wounds
Disclosed embodiments relate to apparatuses and methods for wound treatment. In certain embodiments, a negative pressure wound therapy apparatus includes one or more wound dressings configured to be used to treat surgical wounds including post-breast surgery wounds. In some embodiments, a single negative pressure source can be used with one or more wound dressing to treat one or more wounds.
A BREAST MILK EXTRACTION KIT COMPRISING A BREAST MILK PUMP AND A PUMPING DEVICE
A breast milk pump comprising: a milk extraction assembly comprising a funnel configured to engage a breast of a user, said funnel comprising a flexible portion having a flexible portion inner surface for facing the breast and an opposite flexible portion outer surface; a stimulating mechanism facing the flexible portion outer surface and configured to manipulate the flexible portion; and a position adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a position of the stimulating mechanism with respect to the funnel, said position adjustment mechanism comprising at least one lever member articulated to the stimulating mechanism, the lever member being pivotable about a lever pivot axis, to move the stimulating mechanism.
BREAST MILK EXTRACTION KIT COMPRISING A BREAST MILK PUMP AND A PUMPING DEVICE
A breast milk pump comprising: a milk extraction assembly comprising a funnel configured to engage a breast of a user, said funnel comprising a flexible portion having a flexible portion inner surface for facing the breast and an opposite flexible portion outer surface; a stimulating mechanism facing the flexible portion outer surface and configured to manipulate the flexible portion; and a position adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a position of the stimulating mechanism with respect to the funnel, said position adjustment mechanism comprising at least one lever member articulated to the stimulating mechanism, the lever member being pivotable about a lever pivot axis, to move the stimulating mechanism.
Super-absorbent, reduced-pressure wound dressing and systems
A super-absorbent dressing assembly for use with a reduced-pressure wound treatment system includes a breathable, fluid restricted dry layer for placement against a wound, a super-absorbent layer, and a non-breathable layer, and a drape extending over the non-breathable layer. A reduced-pressure interface is available to fluidly couple the super-absorbent layer to a reduced-pressure subsystem. The super-absorbent dressing assembly preferably supplies a compressive force when placed under reduced pressure. A reduced-pressure treatment system uses a super-absorbent bolster to treat wounds, e.g., linear wounds.
BREAST POCKET IRRIGATION APPARATUSES AND METHODS
A subcutaneous irrigation apparatus comprising a flexible base comprising one or more size adjustment channels and a plurality of irrigation lumens and a hub coupled to the flexible base. The hub may include an inlet port, an outlet port, and a suction port, wherein the plurality of irrigation lumens extend from the hub. These apparatuses may be configured to apply irrigation as a vortex within the body.
BREAST PUMP SYSTEMS
Systems and methods for pumping milk from a breast responsive to a controller, wherein the milk is expressed from the breast under suction and milk is expulsed from the pumping mechanism to a collection container under positive pressure.
Compositions, devices and kits for selective internal radiation therapy
Systems, kits and methods for preparing an injection system and/or treating target lesions with a selective internal radiation therapy which includes a double-barrel syringe loaded with a two-component tissue glue and radioisotope loaded microspheres. The microspheres are loaded into the syringe based on the size of the target location and are administered with a needle or dual-lumen catheter. Dosing regimens for treating breast cancer lesions or surgical beds up to 130 mm in diameter and hepatocellular carcinoma lesions up to 50 mm are included.
Reduced pressure, compression systems and apparatuses for use on joints
A system for providing reduced-pressure treatment to a moveable tissue site, such as a joint, includes a flexible dressing bolster. The flexible dressing bolster has a first side and a second, inward-facing side, and a plurality of flexion joints formed on the flexible dressing bolster. The system further includes a sealing subsystem for providing a fluid seal over the flexible dressing bolster and the patient's epidermis and a reduced-pressure subsystem for delivering a reduced pressure to the sealing subsystem. The sealing subsystem and reduced-pressure subsystem are operable to deliver a reduced pressure to the moveable tissue site. The flexible dressing bolster is operable to allow articulation or movement of the moveable tissue site. The sealing subsystem may include a drape with folds. Other systems, apparatuses, and methods are presented.
INTRODUCER DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a medical implant introducer (100) and methods of its use. The introducer (100) may include a handle (120), an implant-holding cavity disposed distally from the handle (120), a fluid supply conduit (122) fluidly coupled to an interior portion of the implant-holding cavity, and a distal nozzle (110) having a proximal portion, a distal portion, a middle portion in between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the middle portion having a tapered profile such that the proximal portion is larger than the distal portion, and a distal opening (112), wherein an implant in the implant-holding cavity may be expelled from the introducer (100) through the distal opening (112).
