Gluteal implants and gluteal implant systems are described herein, as are methods of manufacturing and implanting the same. In certain embodiments, the gluteal implant includes a body having a convex upper surface, a concave lower surface, and an edge, the edge being formed by the intersection between the convex upper surface and the concave lower surface. The body can take on various shapes, including a truncated ovoid shape, a truncated approximate ovoid shape, a truncated substantially ovoid shape, a truncated ellipsoid shape, a truncated approximate ellipsoid shape, or a truncated substantially ellipsoid shape, among others. In certain embodiments, the gluteal implant system includes first and second gluteal implants that have the same or different shaped bodies. In certain embodiments, the gluteal implants and gluteal implant systems are implanted in a buttock region.

The disclosure may relate to implant systems, kits, implants, devices, and associated methods that can quickly, easily and accurately deliver a soft tissue implant with minimal incisions/trauma to surrounding tissue. The soft implant may include one or more features disposed on or within the implant configured to engage an implant insertion tool. The one or more features may include one or more of a channel disposed along the length of the soft implant, groove, slot, notch, among others, or any combination thereof. The implant insertion tool may include an implant interface section configured to engage the one or more features.

Devices for carrying out subperiosteal minimally invasive jaw bone augmentation and reconstruction procedures, to develop a passageway and surgical site in a concealed area of patient tissue, where the surgical site is not exposed. The devices have shanks with specially configured tips to facilitate maneuvering the device through mammalian tissue to develop a tunnel in the tissue and a remote surgical site within the tissue. The device tips have one or more peripheral cutting surfaces that direct the positioning of the tunnel formation when the instrument handle is manipulated, e.g., by rotation, angular, forward or rearward motion. Embodiments of the devices are configured with tips that have a wide spread for cutting and elevating tissue, and with tips that may be maneuvered to condense bone graft material being implanted at a surgical site concealed within the tissue.

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.

Medical devices are provided, comprising a medical device and a sensor.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to prosthetics for augmenting or repairing a tissue defect, such as a ventral or incisional hernia. In some embodiments, a repair prosthetic may include a patch body and a first fastener attached to a first portion of the patch body. A coupler may be attached to and extend from a second portion of the patch body, and a second fastener may be attached to the second portion of the patch body via the coupler. The coupler may be retracted relative to the second portion of the patch body or the second fastener to apply tension to the patch body in some embodiments.

The present invention relates to a device to photocure and/or photoactivate a photosensitive material. The device comprises several subsystems to transmit light towards an area of interest where a photosensitive material is applied as well as to collect light reflected by the applied photosensitive material. Reflected light is analyzed by an optical detector to monitor the photocuring and/or photoactivation process. Further means to inject or otherwise apply a photosensitive material can be combined in the same device. Methods for applying a fluent polymerizable material to a target site and for effecting polymerization of the fluent light-sensitive material in situ are also disclosed.

Apparatus and methods are described which guide a surgeon in performing a reconstructive or cosmetic procedure. The apparatus and methods utilize three dimensional presentations of the target surgical site incorporating one or more virtual surgical guides which help attain proper alignment and orientation of the post surgical outcome.

A surgical procedure kit for inserting a medical tube according to the present invention includes: an insertion pathway formation means configured to include a medical tube provided with a hollow tube main body, a tube member including a hollow conduit having the medical tube received therein and forming a pathway into which the medical tube is to be inserted, and a support member including a support rod which is inserted into the medical tube and has stiffness greater than that of the tube member; and a push means configured to be slidable within the conduit of the tube member and push the medical tube through the conduit of the tube member.

Systems and methods are disclosed for cosmetic augmentation by forming a biocompatible cross-linked polymer having a multi-phase mixture with a time release catalyst; injecting the mixture into a patient as a viscous fluid; after injection, activating the catalyst to cross-link the polymer after a predetermined period after injection into a patient; and augmenting soft tissue with the biocompatible cross-linked polymer.
