The present invention relates to a computer-vision based autonomous steerable catheter device and methods of using the same for targeted delivery of a liquid microvolume into the interior of a lung.

Disclosed embodiments relate to devices and related methods for delivering a composition to a subject. In some embodiments, a device may include a catheter coupled to a handle. The handle may include proximal and distal handle portions that are moveable relative to one another to selectively expose a needle at a distal end of the catheter. The proximal handle portion may include a container coupling and a grip extending proximally from the container coupling.

According to one aspect, a guidewire assembly for positioning within a body of a patient may include a guidewire shaft having a proximal section and a distal section. The distal section may be configured to move within the body of a patient when the guidewire assembly is in a first operating state. The distal section may be configured to expand radially outward when the guidewire assembly is in a second operating state to engage an interior surface of the body and inhibit movement of the guidewire shaft.

Trans-maxillary access systems, devices and appliances governed by AI sensing and data arrays are shown, along with analogous ingress through occipital artery and related vasculature. Likewise, occipital artery access follows the same paradigm, procedures and protocols for data. Contractomeres overcome drawbacks when used with the instant systems, processes, and methodologies.

Systems and methods for delivery of therapeutic materials for the treatment of cancer are disclosed. Some systems include a plurality of expandable occlusion members that can form seals with the inner walls of various vessels thereby isolating a section or region of the associated vessels. In some variations, the system may include one or more catheters that are in fluid communication and can transfer fluid around the isolated sections or region.

In various aspects, the present disclosure pertains to methods of treating or preventing bleeding at a tissue site comprising applying a chitosan powder composition to the tissue site, In various aspects, the present disclosure pertains to chitosan powder compositions for application to a tissue site, where the powder compositions comprise a chitosan salt, a crosslinked chitosan, a derivatized chitosan, or a combination thereof. In various aspects, the disclosure pertains to catheter assemblies, which are preloaded with a chitosan powder composition and which are configured to deliver the chitosan powder composition a tissue site.

Retrieval of material from vessel lumens can be improved by electrically enhancing attachment of the material to the thrombectomy system. The system can include a catheter having a distal portion configured to be positioned adjacent to a thrombus in a blood vessel, an electrode disposed at the distal portion of the catheter, and an interventional element configured to be delivered through a lumen of the catheter. The electrode and the interventional element are each configured to be electrically coupled to an extracorporeal power supply.

The present disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices. In particular, the present disclosure relates to devices and methods to convey fluid delivered from a delivery catheter. Exemplary catheters are disclosed which include fluid distribution devices for delivery of fluid and delivery of pass-through medical instruments, such as cryodecompression tubes, within body lumens.

Systems and methods of implanting a vascular access technologies and declotting vascular access technologies, such as vascular access assemblies that facilitate hemodialysis, are provided. The methods can include disposing a first tubular conduit within a patient to access a vascular access assembly within the heart of the patient. The first tubular conduit can be coupled to the vascular access assembly such that the first tubular conduit can be decoupled from the vascular access assembly to evacuate a clot within the vascular access assembly, and then recouple the first tubular conduit to the vascular access assembly.

A sphincterotome device can be used to achieve appropriate positioning within the biliary duct during cannulation. The sphincterotome device enables performance of a “double-wire” or multiple wire procedure without the need for removal and reintroduction of the sphincterotome device, thereby allowing for a shorter procedure.
