摘要: The methods and apparatus of the present invention permit stable transcutaneous access. Some preferred embodiments of the invention provide body pocket access channels that provide stable means for communicating between the exterior of the body and a natural or created internal body pocket. Other embodiments involve the inclusion of an attachment elements surrounding a device sought to be passed from a location external of a patient's body to a location within the body at the exit site, but which are attached to the device at a location within the body rather than at the exact location where the device passes through a patient's skin, thereby forming a body pocket that will reduce stress or strain at the exit site. Several alternative embodiments for effecting body pockets through use of attachment elements are disclosed.

摘要: This invention relates to methods and apparatus for making and using noded cuffs on transcutaneous or intrabody prosthetic devices, such as catheters, to effect improved stability of the prosthesis/tissue opening site interface. In particular, the noded cuff apparatus of the present invention provides for positioning of the tissue opening site in a manner which facilitates more rapid establishment of a stably biointegrated and well-healed prosthesis/tissue opening site interface. In addition, in accord with the methods of the present invention, non-biointegrated portions of the noded cuff can be simply and easily removed from the underlying prosthetic device to facilitate maintenance of the stably biointegrated interface. Preferably, this removal takes place after a period of time during which the interface has become stably established. In accord with the methods and apparatus of the present invention, thus, infections or healing difficulties at the prosthesis/tissue opening site interface are greatly reduced and a more comfortable and stable interface is more rapidly established and more easily maintained.

摘要: A moldable, weighted, surgical retractor and methods for its use. The surgical retractor comprises a generally flat plate having a plurality of protrusions or arms extending outwardly from the interior body of the plate. Included around the periphery of the plate and the arms are a plurality of slots. The slots may be of any size and shape and function to hold surgical stays in place during the surgical procedure. The arms or protrusions of the present invention may be placed in a variety of positions so that stays may hold certain portions of the surgical site in any desired direction. For example, arms or protrusions of the present invention may be lifted upwardly and stays may be connected to the upwardly extending arms. As a result, upward lifting forces may be directed into the surgical site to hold blood vessels, tendons, bones or other structural features upward within the surgical area. In addition, the arms of the retractor may be molded around a portion of the patient's anatomy in order to hold it in place. The present invention is also directed to a system which includes the retractor of the present invention along with surgical stays of varying elastic properties and diameters. As a result, the force which the stays exert on a surgical area can be finely adjusted and chosen as desired by the surgeon.

摘要: The methods and apparatus of the present invention permit a stable body pocket to be formed utilizing multiple biocompatible sheets or using only a single biocompatible sheet positioned to create either a potential space or actual space stable body pocket. The sheets have one surface which permits tissue ingrowth and thereby stably secures the sheet in the desired position. The other sheet surface is non-adhering such that adherence to a facing surface does not occur thereby creating a stable body pocket. In addition, a stable body pocket can be formed by using a biocompatible sheet or sheets having a surface that is selectively capable of permitting tissue ingrowth such that some portions of the surface grows into the surrounding tissue and other portions of the surface do not adhere to the surrounding tissue. In this manner, the stable body pocket apparatus has flexible surface portions. Stable body pocket access channels can also be formed according to the methods and apparatus of the present invention. Such access channels can provide stable means for communicating between the exterior of the body and a natural or created internal body pocket. A method for forming a stable body pocket utilizing fluid pressure introduced into the space where a body pocket is desired is also in accord with the present invention.

摘要: The present invention is directed to methods of making a porous device utilizing at least one removable open-cell porous mold form comprising particles formed and shaped into a solidified mass of continuously interconnected particles defining continuously interconnected pores and connecting interstices. The primary mold form is made from a selected material comprising particles having predetermined sizes and shapes which is capable of forming a stable mold form under selected conditions and of being removed under selected conditions. The primary mold form can be used to mold a porous device directly or to mold a secondary mold form. Similarly, the secondary mold form can be used to mold a porous device directly or to mold a tertiary mold form. Depending on the number of mold forms used, the porous device contains pores and pore interconnections corresponding to either the continuously interconnected particles, or to the continuously interconnected pores.

摘要: An implantable analyte sensor including a sensing region for measuring the analyte and a non-sensing region for immobilizing the sensor body in the host. The sensor is implanted in a precisely dimensioned pocket to stabilize the analyte sensor in vivo and enable measurement of the concentration of the analyte in the host before and after formation of a foreign body capsule around the sensor. The sensor further provides a transmitter for RF transmission through the sensor body, electronic circuitry, and a power source optimized for long-term use in the miniaturized sensor body.
