Disclosed are a medicated thread manufacturing system and medicated thread manufacturing method. The medicated thread manufacturing system includes a first slideway and a second slideway, a thread clamping apparatus and a medicine spraying apparatus that are slidably arranged on the first slideway, and a thread winding apparatus slidably arranged on the second slideway. The thread clamping apparatus is used for clamping two ends of a to-be-processed medicated thread, straightening the to-be-processed medicated thread and twisting the to-be-processed medicated thread in the straightened state into a single-strand rope state. The medicine spraying apparatus is used for spraying a medicine towards a surface layer of the to-be-processed medicated thread in the straightened state. The thread winding apparatus is used for abutting a center position of the to-be-processed medicated thread in the single-strand rope state and pulling the to-be-processed medicated thread towards a direction opposite to the first slideway to fold the to-be-processed medicated thread, and used for rotating the to-be-processed medicated thread, such that the to-be-processed medicated thread winds and extends from middle to two ends to be twisted in a double-strand rope state. The control apparatus controls a matching opportunity of the thread clamping apparatus, the medicine spraying apparatus and the thread winding apparatus. Artificial participation is not needed in the manufacturing process of the medicated thread, such that automation of manufacturing the medicated thread is realized.

A disposable thrombectomy maceration and aspiration system for macerating and aspirating thrombus or other obstructive material in a lumen of a vascular graft or vessel. The system includes three major components: a disposable integrated aspiration pump and fluid collection device for generating aspiration vacuum pressure and collecting macerated particulate, a disposable integrated thrombectomy and aspiration apparatus removably coupled to the device configured to macerate the thrombus with a motor powered maceration wire while including an aspiration pathway for aspirating the macerated particulate into the device, and a catheter removably coupled to the apparatus and covering a portion of the maceration wire for insertion into the patient to the thrombus site. The catheter is of sufficient size to allow the macerated particulate to be aspirated from a distal opening through the catheter and apparatus before being deposited into the fluid collection compartment of the device.

A neovaginal stent system including a neovaginal stent configured to dilate and maintain the patency of a neovagina as well as irrigate the neovagina. The neovaginal stent includes a sponge casing, a balloon within an inner cavity of the sponge casing and a membrane surrounding the sponge casing.

An aspiration system includes a pump and a control system in communication with the pump. The control system includes a microcontroller, an antenna configured to receive a signal, and a pump control board in communication with the microcontroller. The antenna is in communication with the microcontroller. Upon receiving the signal, the pump control board operates the pump to create negative pressure according to the signal.

A hemorrhage control device includes a trocar having an opening at a distal end. An expandable balloon is disposed within the trocar, the expandable balloon being collapsed within the trocar in a stored condition, and the expandable balloon being movable out of the trocar, through the opening, into a deployed condition. An inflation tube is fluidly connected to an interior of the expandable balloon. A source of pressurized fluid is connected to the inflation tube, pressurized fluid being introduced into the inflation tube to pressurize and inflate the expandable balloon in the deployed condition.

A biocontainment assembly for use with a patient suspected of having or diagnosed with a transmissible disease(s) capable of respiratory, airborne, contact, or droplet transmission includes a housing configured to be positioned over and at least partially enclose a head, neck, and/or torso of the patient. A sidewall of the housing includes an open portion contiguous with an at least partially pen bottom portion of the housing, sized to fit over at least a portion of the head, neck, and/or a torso of the patient. The housing also includes an airflow opening for evacuating fluid from an interior defined by the housing. The assembly also includes a drape configured to extend across the open portion of the sidewall having a first portion removably connected to the housing and an opposing second portion configured to be draped over the torso, abdomen, waist, and/or legs of the patient.

Systems and methods for the intravascular treatment of clot material within a blood vessel of a human patient are disclosed herein. A method in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, positioning a distal portion of a catheter proximate to the clot material within the blood vessel. The method can further include coupling a pressure source to the catheter via a tubing subsystem including a valve or other fluid control device and, while the valve is closed, activating the pressure source to charge a vacuum. The valve can then be opened to apply the vacuum to the catheter to thereby aspirate at least a portion of the clot material from the blood vessel and into the catheter.

A laparoscopic anti-clogging device suitable for abdominal surgeries whose main function is to overcome the deficiencies caused by the clogging of a suction tool used in suction irrigation. More specifically an improved suction unclogging means used in Laparoscopic Suction Irrigator Systems (LSIS) that is used in the removal of bodily fluids, exudate and or bodily materials from the abdomen of a patient, allowing suction of a high-volume fluid in deep cavities and prevents interrupting fluid flow due to tissues clogging the device, and having the ability of being modified intra-abdominally to then focus all of its vacuum force on the distal opening, thereby facilitating blood clot busting and suction of solidified fluids as well as directed irrigation.

A medicated thread manufacturing system and associated method includes first and second slideways, a thread clamping apparatus and a medicine spraying apparatus slidably arranged on the first slideway, and a thread winding apparatus slidably arranged on the second slideway. The clamping apparatus clamps two ends of a to-be-processed medicated thread, straightens the thread and twists the thread in the straightened state into a single-strand rope state. The spraying apparatus sprays a medicine towards a surface layer of the thread in the straightened state. The winding apparatus abuts a center position of the thread in the single-strand rope state, pulls and folds the thread, and rotates the thread such that the thread winds and extends from middle to two ends to be twisted in a double-strand rope state. A control apparatus is in signal connection and/or electrical connection to the clamping apparatus, the spraying apparatus and the winding apparatus.

Aspects of this disclosure relate to catheter assemblies, that include an inner tube component, an outer tube component that fits over the inner tube component, and a disposable layer of film that isolates the otherwise fluid-exposed portions of the catheter from the fluid it drains. This disposable film can be removed at regular intervals and obviates the need for catheter exchanges as the isolating disposable film, rather than the catheter itself, is removed. The principal characteristic of the disposable film is that it is relatively impermeable to fluid, for example, bodily fluids.
