SELECTIVE MODULATION OF RENAL NERVES
Methods for treating a patient using therapeutic renal neuromodulation and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology is directed to methods including selectively neuromodulating afferent or efferent renal nerves. One or more measurable physiological parameters corresponding to systemic sympathetic overactivity or hyperactivity in the patient can thereby be reduced. Selectively neuromodulating afferent renal nerves can include inhibiting sympathetic neural activity in nerves proximate a renal pelvis. This can include, for example, neuromodulating via fluid within the renal pelvis. Selectively neuromodulating efferent renal nerves can include inhibiting sympathetic neural activity in nerves proximate a portion of a renal artery or a renal branch artery proximate a renal parenchyma. This can include, for example, neuromodulating via a therapeutic element within the portion of the renal artery or the renal branch artery.

BOTULINUM TOXIN PREFILLED SYRINGE SYSTEM
The present invention relates a botulinum toxin prefilled syringe system with desirable injection force characteristics, in particular low gliding force and low break loose force, comprising a syringe barrel of glass containing a liquid botulinum toxin composition, a plunger stopper and a closure device such as a tip cap or a needle shield. In addition, the present invention relates to a kit comprising the botulinum toxin prefilled syringe system, and optionally instructions for use, and to the use of the botulinum toxin prefilled syringe system in therapeutic and cosmetic applications.
ENDOSCOPIC SYMPATHECTOMY SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A system for controlled sympathectomy procedures is disclosed. A system for controlled micro ablation procedures is disclosed. Methods for performing a controlled surgical procedure are disclosed. A system for performing controlled surgical procedures in a minimally invasive manner is disclosed. An implantable device for monitoring and/or performing a neuromodulation procedure is disclosed.
Injection device for soft-tissue augmentation fillers, bioactive agents and other biocompatible materials in liquid or gel form
Described herein are injection devices capable of automatically injecting substances into the soft tissue of a patient. The devices can inject low to high viscosity materials at predetermined, user selected injection rates, allowing the operator more control than a traditional syringe. The devices can allow mixing of more than one substance and/or reconstitution of a solid substance for injection. The injection devices described herein can allow the operator to easily inject one or more low to high viscosity liquid or gel soft-tissue augmentation fillers, one or more drugs, one or more other biocompatible materials, or combinations thereof.
DIALYSIS SYSTEM INCORPORATING A TOXIN-REMOVAL LOOP
A protected fluid circuit can utilize osmotic membranes or other membrane types that are highly selective to urea transport. The membranes can achieve sufficient diffusional flux of urea in a forward osmosis geometry. When combined with a oxidation unit, this protected geometry can have a high selective flux of urea from the spent dialysate side to the urea removal side; balance of fluid (water) levels in patients by forward osmotic flow by controlling water evaporation rate through an vapor permeable membrane; protection of patient dialysate/blood loop from oxidation by-products; and an ability to optimize oxidation system performance (pH, ionic strength, other electrolytes, etc.) that would be otherwise incompatible with blood contact.
Endoscopic sympathectomy systems and methods
A system for controlled sympathectomy procedures is disclosed. A system for controlled micro ablation procedures is disclosed. Methods for performing a controlled surgical procedure are disclosed. A system for performing controlled surgical procedures in a minimally invasive manner is disclosed. An implantable device for monitoring and/or performing a neuromodulation procedure is disclosed.

Radiopharmaceutical delivery system and use thereof for patient infusion
The invention is a theranostic delivery system or radiopharmaceutical drugs delivery system with movable workstation having handles. The workstation of theranostic delivery system or radiopharmaceutical drugs delivery system also has an on-board shielded disposal system for waste collection, which is operated by foot actuated system for locked and unlocked modes during the device journey. The theranostic delivery system or radiopharmaceutical drugs delivery system comprises a status light system that illuminates the working area to enable distance monitoring. Further, the delivery system includes a disposable secondary containment system that protects the core workstation from contamination, a configurable dose transporter and a disposable sealed fluid cartridge to withdraw custom volume from the vial or syringe. The delivery system includes a theranostic informatics management system, which contains a computer screen as a graphical user interface with a retractable rotating arm to receive the various patient infusion parameters.
