A uterine manipulator device includes: an elongated cannulated tube having proximal and distal ends, a cervical cup positioned on the elongated cannulated tube with a top distal portion of a first diameter and a base proximal portion of a second smaller diameter, and an occluder assembly comprising an occluder positioned proximally from the cervical cup on the elongated cannulated tube, the occluder having a body with at least one primary rib and at least two secondary ribs, wherein a diameter of at least one secondary rib is smaller than the diameter of the primary rib.

Devices and methods for treating obesity are provided. More particularly, intragastric devices and methods of fabricating, deploying, inflating, locating, tracking, monitoring, deflating, and retrieving the same are provided.

A device and method for establishing retrograde blood flow during recanalization of a vessel having a targeted blockage. While in a collapsed state an occluding component is introduced distally intravascularly traversing the targeted blockage to its distal side. Then, the occluding component transitions to an expanded state having an enlarged diameter forming a seal with an internal wall of the vessel prohibiting anterograde blood flow beyond the expanded occluding component. Retrograde blood flow is thereby established in a region of the vessel bound at one end by the occluding component and at an opposite end by the targeted blockage by dispensing a flushing fluid into the region of the vessel.

The present invention comprises methods and devices for generating and providing contrast medium for sonography of structures such as ducts or cavities. The invention provides for creation of a contrast medium comprising detectable acoustic variations between two phases, for example, a gas and a liquid. Sonography is the primary means of imaging but other conventional detection means may also be employed with the present invention.

Embodiments of the invention include a single lumen catheter for delivering high pressure contrast injection for TAVR procedures. The catheter comprises a main lumen for delivering contrast media extending from the proximal end to the distal pigtail end, a distal end hole for delivering contrast media, one or more side holes proximate of the end hole along the catheter shaft on the distal angled portion, a distal angled section that is angled from the main catheter lumen axis, a distal pigtail configuration that is angled from the axis of the distal section, and a distal pigtail loop. Other embodiments are also included herein.

An ingestible device is disclosed which can produce spectral data of one or more analytes, as well as associated methods for characterizing the gastrointestinal tract of a subject which contains such analytes. Related kits and systems are also disclosed.

A power injector system having a power injector for enabling delivery of fluid in an injection procedure to be performed on a patient may include one or more processors; a first user interface; and a second user interface. The first user interface and the second user interface may be configured to accept a plurality of user inputs associated with control of a plurality of operations of the power injector system and display information associated with the plurality of operations. One of the first user interface and the second user interface may be proximate to the power injector and the other may be remote from the power injector. The one or more processors may be programmed and/or configured to independently control the first user interface and the second user interface based on a first user input and a next user input received from the first user interface and/or the second user interface.

A multi lumen catheter assembly. The assembly provides an expandable, low profile, fixed length sheath and catheter, with fixed infusion ports. The assembly has an expandable outer sheath that expands upon pressure activation with a fluid and the sheath allows the fluid to exit from at least one predetermined fixed location from a distal end of the catheter assembly. The catheter assembly can be used in various medical device procedures, such as a TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt) procedure, or anywhere a low profile, multi lumen, infusion catheter system is desired.

Currently most cancers, including breast cancers, are removed without any intraoperative margin control. Post-operative methods inspect 1-2% of the surgical margin and are prone to sampling errors. The present invention relates to an optical imaging system that will enable evaluation of the surgical margin in vivo and in real-time. The invention provides for simultaneous fluorescence and fluorescence polarization imaging. The contrast of the acquired images will be enhanced using fluorescent agents approved for diagnostic use in patients. As the staining pattern of fluorescence images is similar to that of histology, and the values of fluorescence polarization are significantly higher in cancerous as compared to normal cells, the invention provides for further improvements in diagnostic methods. The systems and methods can be applied to the intra-operative delineation of cancerous tissue.

The present disclosure includes an integrated catheter system for cannulation of a LIMA graft from a right radial access point. Some integrated catheter systems include a guide catheter comprising an elongated member having an outer sheath body portion that includes an outer sheath proximal end, an outer sheath distal end, and an outer sheath lumen extending through the outer sheath between the outer sheath proximal end and the outer sheath distal end, the outer sheath including a curved section that includes: a first curved segment, a second curved segment, a third curved segment, a fourth curved segment, a first extended segment between the third curved segment and the fourth curved segment, and a second extended segment between the fourth curved segment and the outer sheath distal end.
