Devices and methods are described for a minimally invasive procedure offering immediate relief of brain compression and prevention of subdural hematoma re-accumulation. For example, this disclosure describes devices and methods for embolization of bleeding branch vessels of the middle meningeal artery and subdural hematoma drainage in a single endovascular intervention using multimodal catheter-based technology.

In some examples, a system may be used for delivering cardiac therapy or cardiac sensing. The system may include an in implantable medical device including a housing configured to be implanted on or within a heart of a patient, a fixation element configured to attach the housing to the heart; and a sensor configured to produce a signal that indicates motion of the implantable medical device. Processing circuitry may be configured to identify one or more impingements between the housing and another structure, such as a tissue of the heart, based on the signal from the sensor and provide an indication of the one or more impingements to a user.

A pessary system for providing pelvic floor support for USL and other ligaments. The pessary has an elongated probe with independently inflatable balloons each located substantially the same distance from the insertion end of the probe and which inflate into separate radial sectors. The probe can be inserted into a vaginal cavity and the balloons inflated provide mechanical support to the USLs. Independent inflation of each balloon allows the mechanical USL support provided to be varied on left and right sides to compensate for differences in the degree of degradation and positioning of the USL ligaments on either side.

In one embodiment, a medical system includes a catheter configured to be inserted into a chamber of a heart of a living subject, and including a distal end including catheter electrodes configured to contact tissue at respective locations within the chamber of the heart, at least one position sensor configured to provide at least one position signal indicative of a position of the distal end, a display, and processing circuitry configured to compute the position of the distal end of the catheter responsively to the at least one position signal, render to the display a 3D anatomical map of the chamber of the heart and a 3D representation of the distal end of the catheter, and render to the display over at least part of the map, at least one intracardiac electrogram trace representing electrical activity in the tissue that is sensed by at least one of the catheter electrodes.

A powered surgical stapling assembly comprising a motor, an end effector, a sensor, a display, and a control circuit is disclosed. The end effector comprises a first jaw and a second jaw movable relative to the first jaw. The end effector is configured to clamp tissue between the first jaw and the second jaw. The sensor is configured to measure a parameter of the tissue clamped within the end effector. The control circuit is configured to monitor the parameter sensed by the sensor and identify when the monitored parameter stabilizes within a stabilization range. The monitored parameter is considered stable when a rate at which the monitored parameter changes falls below a predetermine threshold rate of change. The control circuit is further configured to display to a user when the parameter stabilizes.

Systems and methods for facilitating assessment of a nature of contact between an electrode assembly of an ablation catheter and viable body tissue are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method comprises obtaining a first detected voltage between a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the first and second electrodes are positioned along an electrode assembly of the ablation catheter, and wherein the first electrode is distal to the second electrode, obtaining a second detected voltage between the second electrode and a third electrode, the third electrode positioned proximal to the second electrode.

The present disclosure relates to a body-attachable apparatus for measuring biometric information and, more particularly, to an apparatus for measuring biometric information, which can accurately measure biometric information by connecting an additional impedance to a sensor to reduce the magnitude of noise generated during deformation or movement of the sensor, and accurately measure the biometric information by removing noise affecting a response signal during the deformation or movement of the sensor, via the additional impedance.

Some of the embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a dental measurement method comprising, for example, measuring an orientation of a dental measurement device which includes a user interface, and displaying information on said user interface based on said orientation.

A system includes a catheter and a processor. The catheter includes an expandable distal-end assembly (EDEA) having: (i) a transmitter, which is coupled to the EDEA and is configured to transmit a first signal, and (ii) one or more receivers, which are coupled to an elastic component of the EDEA, and are configured to produce one or more respective second signals in response to receiving the first signal. The processor is configured to estimate, based on the one or more respective second signals, a force applied to the elastic component.
