摘要:
Poly(trimethylene)terephthalate filaments are used alone or in combination with other types of filaments to make medical or surgical devices and to achieve wound closure or tissue approximation.
摘要:
Braids and surgical devices are made from yarns that include at least one filament made from a thermoplastic elastomer copolymer and at least one filament made from a polyolefin material..
摘要:
The present disclosure provides a package for a medical device having a surface prepared for receiving a target agent and a port for permitting the passage of the target agent between the surface of the medical device contained therein.
摘要:
Biocompatible implants include a polymer substrate and a reactive component selectively applied to the substrate. The reactive component in combination with the substrate creates crosslinked regions on a surface of the substrate. The crosslinked regions may provide a visual aid and/or stiffening element to the implant.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a filament for use in surgical procedures. The filament includes a first end with a first tangible indicator and a second end with a second, different tangible indicator. The first and second tangible indicators attribute different surface topographies to the respective first and second ends of the filament to provide a way of differentiating therebetween through tactile engagement.
摘要:
A suture including a reinforced loop is described herein. The suture includes an elongate body including a proximal section and a distal section, wherein the distal section includes first and second overlapping sections and a loop, A polymeric coating is positioned on at least a portion of the distal section to reinforce the loop.
摘要:
A cannula assembly includes a cannula adapted for insertion within tissue and having a longitudinal passage extending along a longitudinal axis of the cannula for passage of a surgical instrument. An expandable member is mounted to the cannula and longitudinally spaced from a distal end of the cannula. The expandable member is adapted to expand, upon introduction of fluids therein, in a radially outward direction relative to the longitudinal axis whereby the expandable member engages the tissue to facilitate anchoring of the cannula relative to the tissue, and also to expand in a radially inward direction relative to the longitudinal axis and within the longitudinal passage to engage the surgical instrument positioned within the longitudinal passage to facilitate formation of a seal about the surgical instrument.
