    摘要: A design and method of manufacture is disclosed for an insulated electrode used during surgical procedures. The electrode includes a durable electrical insulation element that can withstand the range of temperatures generated during an electrosurgical procedure. Such insulation characteristics include resistance to meltback and manufacturability to ensure the device is biocompatible and non-toxic so as to prevent adverse reactions in both patients and users of the device. The insulated electrode further includes properties that reduce the incidence of scope damage caused by the intensity of heat generated during the cutting and coagulation cycles.

    摘要: A bio-compatible and bioresorbable stent is disclosed that is intended to restore or maintain patency following surgical procedures, traumatic injury or stricture formation. The stent is composed of a blend of at least two polymers that is either extruded as a monofilament then woven into a braid-like embodiment, or injection molded or extruded as a tube with fenestrations in the wall. Methods for manufacturing the stent are also disclosed.

    摘要: A device for dilating at least an obstructed portion of a urethra includes a hollow core member (24) with opposed open ends permitting urination therethrough from the bladder, a confining covering (33) disposed on the hollow member (24) having a length of at least that of the obstructed portion and having hydrophilic means (32) integrally associated therewith. The hydrophilic means (32) is capable of absorbing water and gradually expanding for at least 30 minutes whereby the outer surface of the confining covering (33) expands radially and outwardly, after insertion into the urethra, until dilation of the obstructed portion occurs to a desired diameter and configuration. Methods for dilating an obstructed portion of the urethra and for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia are also provided.
