A system for attachment of a device to a bone is provided. The system includes an internal axial rod with a proximal and distal end that is configured to be inserted and secured into a bone cavity’s distal end. The system can also include an internal-external transfer rod with a proximal and distal end mounted into the distal end of the axial rod and a central channel extending through the transfer rod from the proximal end to the distal end and a plurality of attachment rings for attaching at least one tissue or muscle group to the transfer rod. The system also includes a bio-compatible and bio-occlusive artificial membranes (BIOCAMS) lamina, wherein the lamina includes either a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) mesh, a biocompatible polymer, a carbon fiber polymer, an artificial tissue polymer, molded donor tissue, allogenic tissue, a collagen/hyaluronic acid-based tissue, or connective tissue biosynthetic substrate material suitable as webbing.

A protection device for a porta catheter device installed into patient's body. The protection device has a flat rim which would be secured to the patient's body around the porta catheter installation site using a medically appropriate adhesive. A dome-shaped protector rises up from the flat rim. The dome-shaped protector can secure any creams or lidocaine applied to the site of the porta catheter. The smooth round shape of the dome-shaped protector prevents it from catching or bumping on clothing or objects in the environment, preventing painful snags. There are no holes or gaps in the protector to prevent leaking of the creams or lidocaine. The flat rim can be affixed about the porta catheter using adhesive or a magnet.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus for intracranial drug injection including a body unit having a through-hole extending between a first opening in a topmost surface and a second opening in a bottommost surface, a cap unit having a shape corresponding to at least a part of an inner surface of the through-hole and being inserted into the first opening to cover the first opening, and a tube unit having one end coupled to the second opening and another end extending toward an affected brain lesion.

A surgical instrument access port assembly and method of use is disclosed. A locking mechanism includes a lock base having an aperture that receives the surgical access port. A locking member has an opening that receives the surgical access port. A ball having a lateral slit is received between the lock base and the locking member. The locking member is rotatable relative to the lock base into a locked position to secure the surgical access port with the ball when the surgical access port is inserted into fascia, and the locking member compresses the lateral slit in the locked position.

An apparatus for guiding cannulation with a dialysis needle of an arteriovenous dialysis access graft subcutaneously implanted in a body of a subject. The guiding apparatus comprises an elongated body member comprising a base portion terminating in longitudinal edges, a distance between the longitudinal edges of the base portion being substantially equal to a lateral dimension of the aces graft, and an elongated tubular sleeve defining an pocket having a longitudinal dimension and a lateral dimension configured to receive the body member. The body member is adapted to be received in the pocket of the sleeve for securing adjacent the subcutaneous access graft such that the inner surface of the base portion is aligned with a cannulation point of the graft for guiding location of a needle insertion.

An illustrated view of an exemplary port cap for application to a port allowing access to a blood stream is presented. The port cap is useful for eliminating adjustments to the port cap while being transported for chemotherapy, a blood draw and the like. The port cap is useful for sticking or adhering to the port. The port cap is further useful for providing an efficient and effective method for providing a numbing agent, such as lidocaine, to the port to prevent sensitivity and to eliminate the need to constantly adjust the port cap while for instance during moving or dressing/undressing.

A percutaneous fluid access apparatus includes a percutaneous fluid access device. The percutaneous fluid access device has a base portion including a subcutaneous portion and at least one port for connection to one or more fluid conduits within a body of a patient. A housing has at least one fluid channel and at least one seal for sealing the at least one fluid channel, and the housing is removably attachable to the base portion. The at least one fluid channel is in fluid communication with the at least one port when the housing is attached to the base portion.

A device for delivering one or more therapeutic agents to a mammal is provided. In at least one embodiment, the device includes (1) a port for receiving one or more therapeutic agents that is to be delivered to a mammal subcutaneously, the port having a stem; (2) a reservoir that is comprised of at least a compliant elastic material and a rate-controlling membrane that allows the one or more therapeutic agents to be delivered to the mammal at a controlled rate and the rate-controlling membrane and the compliant elastic material being attached to each other and the reservoir being capable of being inflated to contain one or more therapeutic agents and deflated, the reservoir being in fluid communication with the stem of the device.

An inline injection port assembly having a rigid tubular port body with a cap structure mounted thereto and a barbed tubing connector extending from the opposite end thereof. The cap structure has to a self-sealing elastomeric injection structure which extends into the port body and which is held in a compressed state therein. The cap structure and the barbed tubing connector are axially aligned to thereby provide a low profile inline injection port assembly.

A delivery adapter which may be used as an interface between a syringe and a catheter hub is described.
