摘要:
Biodegradable hemostatic compositions are provided including nucleic acids. The nucleic acids may be obtained from plant sources, animal sources, or combinations thereof, or they may be synthetic. The hemostatic compositions of the present disclosure are non-inflammatory, and are degraded in an animal's body after successfully re-establishing hemostasis of a tissue site. Methods for utilizing such compositions are also provided.
摘要:
Surgical implants which include a biocompatible substrate and at least one grip member capable of transitioning between a first non-gripping configuration and a second gripping configuration.
摘要:
A surgical portal (100) includes a compressible, e.g., foam or rubber, portal having one or more longitudinal ports (118) for passage of a surgical object. The portal is adapted to transition between a first condition having a first length and a second condition having a second length different from the first length. The portal includes an outer wall (110) configured to maintain a substantial sealing relationship with tissue upon insertion therein.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to self-supporting films for delivery of a therapeutic agent containing at least one hydrophobic polymer and at least one therapeutic agent. Methods of forming the self-supporting films are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present disclosure describes a coating for a surgical filament (e.g. a suture) including a vinyl lactam polymer (like polyvinylpyrrolidon) and a lactone polymer (like polylactide, polyglycolide, polycaprolactone).
摘要:
The present disclosure provides a kit including a sterile package for applying a predetermined amount of at least one target agent to a medical device, the kit comprising at least one target agent, a container, a medical device disposed in the container, wherein at least a portion of the medical device is prepared to receive the at least one target agent and a port in communication with the container for allowing sterile passage of the at least one target agent to the medical device. The present disclosure also provides a method of applying a predetermined amount of a target agent to a medical device comprising, providing a prepared medical device in a sterile package having a port for allowing sterile passage of at least one target agent to the device and introducing the target agent into the container through the port to interact with the prepared medical device.
摘要:
An intra-operative sensor device for detecting tissue or body parameters includes one or more light emitting sources and one or more photo-detectors. An optical isolator ring may be placed around either the one or more light emitting sources or around the one or more photo-detectors. The intra-operative sensor device may be a stand alone device or may be operatively coupled into a surgical instrument, such as a laparoscopic device.
