Phyto material tablets, tablet vaporizers, methods and apparatus for forming phyto material tablets. The tablets are formed to increase vaporization efficiency. Tablets can include break regions to facilitate fracturing into multiple pieces for vaporization. The tablets can also include multiple layers of different phyto material mixtures. Compression molds are used to shape the tablets. The compression molds can be provided on a rotational assembly to facilitate rapid manufacturing of multiple tablets. The vaporizers include heating chambers that are configured to increase the surface area of the tablets exposed for vaporization. The heating chambers include compression or fracture members that compress and/or encourage fracturing of the tablets to assist vaporization.

A thrombus engagement tool having a flexible shaft, a clot engagement tip, and a handle. The engagement tip may include one or more radially outwardly extending structures such as a helical thread. The helical thread can be advanced through a catheter to engage a clot. The handle may be configured to be rotated by hand. When the handle is rotated, the helical thread of the engagement tip can rotate in the same direction thereby allowing the helical threat to engage the clot. The helical thread can wrap around the flexible shaft at least about one, two, or four or more full revolutions, but in some cases no more than about ten or no more than about six revolutions.

A compact modular multifunctional inhalation device including a housing having an inlet port and an outlet port; a removable cartridge module adapted to seat within the housing, the cartridge including: a tray within the cartridge for holding a solid inhalant, a heating element mounted within the cartridge above and through the tray for heating the inhalant; and a removable modular electronic circuit adapted to seat within the housing to provide electrical current to the heating element. The heating element is a coil mounted within a chamber in thermal proximity to the solid inhalant. A quartz rod is mounted within the coil. A plunger is mounted within the cartridge to translate therein and compact the solid inhalant. In an alternative embodiment, dual channels and outlet ports are mounted in communication with an inlet port. In another embodiment, the cartridge is a split chamber cartridge with a split plunger mounted therein.

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.

Apparatus for delivery of bone includes a syringe body and a plunger. The syringe body includes a tip at a bottom thereof, a funnel-shaped top at the top thereof, and a tubular section having a generally cylindrical interior wall defining a passageway extending from the funnel-shaped top to the tip. The plunger includes an elongate piston, a press head, and a handle. The piston extends between the press head at a lower end of the plunger, and the handle at an upper end of the plunger. The plunger is removably received within the passageway, with an extent of the plunger extending out of the funnel-shaped top away from the syringe body. The syringe body may be loaded with one or more bone pellets or cartridges containing bone.

A method of removing embolic material from a vessel with mechanical and aspiration assistance. The method comprises the steps of providing an aspiration catheter having a central lumen and a distal end, advancing the distal end of the aspiration catheter to obstructive material in a vessel, applying vacuum to the central lumen to draw clot into the central lumen, introducing a thrombus engagement tool into the central lumen, and manually manipulating the tip to engage clot between the tip and an inside wall of the central lumen.

A vaporiser device (1) comprising a heating chamber (2) for receiving a sachet of herbal material (3) to be heated with which said vaporiser (1) is used, and a lid (4) which is movable between an open position in which an internal area (5) of said heating chamber (2) is accessible and a closed position in which said lid (4) overlies said internal area (5), and in which said lid (4) comprises a protrusion (6) on an underside (7) thereof which extends into said internal area (5) in said closed position.

A medical syringe which is suitable for dispensing and injecting medical foams is described and claimed. The syringe has a standard syringe plunger and barrel arrangement but comprises a flexible annular flange on the inner surface of the barrel. The annular flange extends inwards and forwardly from a base portion, affixed to the inner surface of the barrel to contact the plunger shaft and form a seal. The shape and orientation of the annular flange enables injection of medical foam with reduced sputtering of the syringe contents which make administration of sclerosing foams more controllable.

Vascular treatment and methods include a plurality of self-expanding bulbs and a hypotube including interspersed patterns of longitudinally spaced rows of kerfs. Joints between woven structures and hypotubes include solder. Woven structures include patterns of radiopaque filaments measureable under x-ray. Structures are heat treated to include at least shapes at different temperatures. A catheter includes a hypotube including interspersed patterns of longitudinally spaced rows of kerfs. Heat treating systems include a detachable flange. Laser cutting systems include a fluid flow system.
