An energy delivery system for delivering electrical energy to tissue, includes an elongate catheter member defining a longitudinal axis and dimensioned for passage within a body vessel and an expandable treatment member mounted to the catheter member. The treatment member includes an inflatable element adapted to transition between an initial condition and an at least partially expanded condition upon introduction of an anesthetic solution within the inflatable element, an electrode for delivering electrical energy to at least the nerve tissue associated with the body vessel to cause at least partial denervation thereof and at least one aperture dimensioned to permit passage of the anesthetic solution from the inflatable element to contact the body vessel whereby the solution at least enters the body vessel to at least partially anesthetize the nerve tissue therewithin. The electrode may be mounted to at least the inflatable element of the treatment member and may be generally helical.

A method for treating conditions associated with thalamocortical dysrhythmia. The method includes applying transcranial low voltage electrical stimulation (TLVES) therapy or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy to a patient in need thereof, and administering to the patient a dissociative anesthetic during the TLVES therapy or the TMS therapy. A number of conditions including tinnitus, depression and pain can be treated with TLVES or TMS in combination with the dissociative anesthetic, such as an NMADR inhibitor, including ketamine.

A device for reducing the pain associated with an injection, the device comprising: a body configured in use to be positioned around or proximal to an injection site while allowing a user to view the injection site while performing the injection, the body comprising an 5 operative face configured to be placed against the skin of a user; the body having: a stimulus element in the form of at least one protrusion configured to extend beyond the operative face to contact the skin of the user around or proximal to the injection site and stimulate the skin of the user.

Systems, instruments, methods, and compositions are described involving removing a portion of the epidermis within a donor site on a subject, and harvesting dermal plugs within the donor site. An injectable filler is formed by mincing the dermal plugs. The injectable filler is configured for injecting into a recipient site on the subject.

A generally planar micro injector with a securing lanyard is disclosed. The micro injector is constructed of an elastic ampoule with a flexible actuation area affixed to a thin base unit through which an injector needle is plumbed. The micro injector is secured to the hand with an adhesive layer and an affixed securing lanyard and has a flexible, collapsible ring constructed of thin film circumferentially attached around its base. The flexible, collapsible ring is filled with anesthetic gel and extends beyond the tip of the needle.

Module for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a portable digital camera and processing circuitry with machine vision and machine learning software for automatically documenting healthcare events and healthcare equipment operations in the electronic health record.

The present invention provides improved methods and apparatus for skin treatment and tissue remodeling. The apparatus includes an array of needles that penetrate the skin and serve as electrodes to deliver radio frequency current or other electrical or optical energy into the tissue being treated, causing thermal damage in controlled patterns. The damaged regions promote beneficial results such as uniform skin tightening by stimulation of wound healing and collagen growth.

A fenestration over-the-needle catheter assembly which includes a catheter with a catheter body. The catheter body has a projection which extends in an axial direction from the distal end of the catheter. The projection may have a point of connection to the catheter body such that the projection can be transitioned into a closed position, covering an opening in the distal end of the catheter. The projection may be configured to interact with a needle which has been inserted into the lumen and extends through the opening in the distal end, such that the projection is in an open position when the needle is extended through the opening in the distal end and is in a closed position when the needle is withdrawn into the lumen or removed from the catheter.

An incisional tunneler nerve block catheter assembly which includes a catheter and a tunneler, guidewire, or needle contained within the lumen of the catheter. The catheter and the tunneler, guidewire, or needle are configured such that the catheter and the tunneler, guidewire, or needle are inserted simultaneously and are then positioned to a target area. The tunneler, guidewire, or needle are releasably contained within the lumen of the catheter such that a tunneler, guidewire, or needle can be withdrawn from the lumen after insertion or placement such that a drug or anesthesia can be administered through at least one aperture.
