    摘要: A prosthesis is provided that is advantageously used to fill a soft tissue or muscle defect, such as an inquinal or femoral hernia. In a first aspect of the invention, multiple layers of a flexible, mesh material are attach together at a finite number of joins. A tab is placed at the geometric center of one of the mesh layers to facilitate insertion of the mesh into the defect. The tab also creates a blunt tip that reduces irritation and discomfort to the patient. In a second aspect of the invention, a prosthesis is provided that includes a barrier layer between two or more layers of flexible, mesh material to prevent adhesion of the device to the tissue. All layers are attached together by a finite number of joins. A tab is placed at the geometric center of one of the mesh layers to facilitate insertion of the mesh into the defect. The prostheses of the invention are self-forming in that they change from a two dimensional configuration to a three dimensional configuration upon insertion of the device into the defect.

    摘要: A blood collection device has a modular suction regulator assembly in the form of an adjustable negative pressure relief valve which controls the level of suction in a collection chamber by admitting air to a short bleed-in passage proximate to a suction connection. The modular assembly is a canister which drops into a receptacle oriented transversely in the collection vessel, and defines a laterally-directed intake manifold which resists blockage. The intake passes centrally through the canister along a path spanned by a filter, past a hat-shaped poppet supported on a compression spring. Fluted and threaded members control the scale and range of poppet response so that the assembly may be calibrated before installation. A face plate covers the installed canister, and radial vanes in the intake manifold double as gripping elements for manual adjustment of the assembly. A bellows meter provides refined suction resolution by linearly advancing across an oblique or curved reference line. Other improvements include a compact and balanced layout of suction canister, seal chamber and collection chamber, and a rigid handle assembly having five faces integral with the device.

    摘要: A blood collection vessel includes a blood inlet, a pooling region in which blood from the inlet collects, and an outlet in the pooling region for reinfusion of the collected blood. A filter located in the blood path between inlet and outlet extends at least in part into the pooling region and impounds clots so they remain away from the outlet but suspended in the collected blood. Preferably, the filter is located to provide venting between both sides of the filter. In one embodiment the filter is a vertical wall, which defines a shielded outlet column or chimney extending above the outlet. Blood permeates to the outlet region over a broad area, and the column forms an open suction path that prevents suction differentials from arising across the filter, so clots cannot be sucked through the large-pore material. With the clots residing in the collected fluid, the total fluid loss is directly displayed in a single window at all times, and maximal use is made of the limited volume in the vessel. In another embodiment, the filter constitutes a false floor or basket in the pooling region. A preferred construction employs filter material on a support grid, to form a flexible and self-supporting filter sheet, which inserts like a plate to compartmentalize the collection vessel and form an impounding surface in the pooling region.

    摘要: A drainage device includes a vessel having a plurality of sub-chambers one of which is a regulated drainage collection chamber, and two of which cooperate to maintain a selected suction level in the drainage collection chamber. A stopcock proximate to the vessel communicates directly with the two cooperating sub-chambers, and allows quick adjustment and stable operation in varying environments. A float ball arrangement provides an indication of water loss that may compromise the water seal. The device is suitable for wound drainage, and may be used as a cardiotomy reservoir or a thoracic cavity drain device. Different embodiments collect blood for autologous infusion.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for fluid delivery enables navigation through tortuous, spatially restricted body anatomy to access narrow diameter body lumens for the continuous delivery of fluids, including therapeutic fluids, to the lumen in an atraumatic manner that avoids damage to the body lumen. The fluid delivery device can have a flexible conduit having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending along an interior of the flexible conduit providing a fluid flow path between the proximal and distal ends, where the lumen transitions into a micro-lumen exiting through a port through which a high concentration of fluid injected into the lumen exits laterally out along an image viewable zone at the distal end of the flexible conduit. The flexible conduit has a maximum outer diameter sized sufficient to navigate narrow diameter body lumens.

    摘要: A hernia patch supporting tissue in-growth conforms to a tissue wall upon surgical installation and fixation within a patient. The hernia patch can include a base and positioning straps. The base is formed of two layers that are affixed to each other around the perimeter of the patch, for example by stitching. A stabilizing washer is provided between the two layers, and the stitch is provided peripherally around the stabilizing washer, keeping the washer free-floating between the layers. The base, positioning straps, and stabilizing washer are formed of a structure that does not separate the layers of the implant or form a space in the form of a pocket, and promotes more uniform and confluent tissue incorporation or in-growth after implantation. The hernia patch may further include a hydrolysable bioabsorbable cross-linked coating of a fatty acid based material, such as an omega-3 fatty acid based material.
