    摘要: A structure that can be used as a gastric band (and that may also have other uses as an implant elsewhere in a patient) includes a plurality of magnetic elements in a serial array that can be implanted so that the array extends in a circumferential direction around the patient's stomach (or other body tissue structure in the patient). Circumferentially adjacent magnetic elements magnetically attract one another to apply radial pressure to the tissue structure encompassed by the array, but those elements can also move apart in response to sufficient outward pressure from the encompassed tissue structure and/or the contents of (e.g., food in) that tissue structure. When used as a gastric band, the device can provide resistance to excessive food intake, which can help promote weight loss.

    摘要: The present invention provides a self-expanding stent delivery system comprising a catheter, a self-expanding stent having a plurality of interconnected expansion cells therein and concentrically arranged around the catheter near the distal end of the catheter, a retractable sheath for covering the stent constructed and arranged for retraction to release the stent to self-expand, and a stent holder abutting the stent for holding the stent in place until the retractable sheath is fully retracted. During retraction of the retractable cover, the stent holder prevents the stent from substantially moving longitudinally until the retractable sheath has been completely removed from the stent.

    摘要: An ophthalmic composition is described for the treatment of dry eye syndrome in a human or mammal. The composition comprises an aqueous solution including an effective amount of silk protein. The aqueous solution comprises from about 0.01% by weight to about 30% by weight of the silk protein. In one embodiment, the silk protein may be fibroin. A method of treating an eye having an ocular surface is also described. The method comprises providing an ophthalmic composition comprising an aqueous solution including an effective amount of silk protein, and administering the ophthalmic composition topically to the ocular surface.

    摘要: The present invention is a vascular stent comprising a cylindrical wall radially expandable from a compressed state to an expanded state and including a plurality of cells. At least one cell includes a first primary member having a first restrainer member and a second primary member having a second restrainer member. When the cylindrical wall is in the expanded state, the first and second primary members are located a greater distance from each other than when the cylindrical wall is in the compressed state. The first and second restrainer members join to maintain the cylindrical wall in the compressed state. An expansion force applied to the cylindrical wall causes the first and second restrainer members to separate, thereby freeing the cylindrical wall to expand from the compressed state to the expanded state.

    摘要: A system for arterial access for delivery of treatment devices is provided. In one embodiment, the system comprises a guidewire and a catheter. The catheter comprises a handle and a shaft. The shaft may be a steerable/deflectable tip shaft with a lumen adapted to allow passage of the guidewire at least partially there through. A passive sheath may also be provided to be delivered over the shaft. The handle controls the steerable/deflectable tip shaft and may be used to deflect the distal tip of the shaft.
