Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for breaking a kidney stone(s) into smaller particles, fragments, and/or stone dust; and removing the same from a patient. The medical device may include a tube having a distal end, a proximal end, a port located proximal of the distal end, and a length of the tube extending between the proximal end and the distal end. A first portion of the tube may be proximal of the port and have a first cross-sectional area, while a second portion of the tube may be distal of the port and have a second cross-sectional area smaller than the first cross-sectional area. A first lumen may extend from the proximal end to the distal end of the tube. A second lumen may in communication with the port to fluidly connect the proximal end of the tube with the port.

Abstract: A medical system for use in a lithotripsy procedure may include a processor configured to receive input from a first imaging device, wherein the first imaging device may be configured to send image data representative of an image captured in a lumen of a kidney, bladder, or ureter to the processor. The processor may be configured to display the image on a display device coupled to the processor, and analyze the image to sense the presence of an object within the image. If an object was sensed within the image, the processor may analyze the image to estimate a size of the object, and display the estimate on the display device.

Abstract: A medical device may include a sheath extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The medical device may further include a light source coupled to the sheath. The light source may have a first state in which light is not emitted distally of sheath and a second state where the light source emits a visual pattern distally of the distal end of the sheath. The visual pattern may represent a cross-sectional dimension of a structural feature of the sheath.

Abstract: In an embodiment, the invention discloses a medical assembly comprising a ring shaped member configured to surround a vaginal wall and an arm member. The arm member is coupled to the ring shaped member and configured to extend from the ring shaped member to a bodily location. The arm member is configured to be coupled to the bodily location and provide a support to a vagina of a patient. The ring shaped member is configured to hold the arm member during implantation of the arm member within the body. The ring shaped member is further configured to be cut after implantation so that the ring shaped member is transformed into a non-circular shape.

Abstract: The resorption of a medical implant can be controlled with the use of particles embedded in a resorbable bulk material forming the implant or portion thereof. The implant can be removed from a body of a mammal by natural biological mechanisms after use. The resorption of the implant can involve swelling and/or hydrolyzing of the particles within the implant upon contact with a body fluid such that porosity and flow of fluid within the bulk material of the implant is increased. Resorption of the implant may also involve the use of particles with magnetic properties embedded within the implant such that an applied magnetic field causes the particles to vibrate within the bulk material thereby increasing the porosity and thus the flow of fluid, hence facilitating resorption of the implant. The resorption rate of the implant can be controlled by modulating swelling, hydrolysis, or movement of the embedded particles.

Abstract translation: 可以通过使用嵌入到形成植入物或其部分的可再吸收散装材料中的颗粒来控制医用植入物的吸收。 植入物可以在使用后通过天然生物学机制从哺乳动物的身体中去除。 植入物的吸收可以包括在与体液接触时使植入物内的颗粒溶胀和/或水解，使得植入物的体积材料内的流体的孔隙率和流量增加。 植入物的再吸收还可以涉及使用具有嵌入在植入物内的磁特性的颗粒，使得所施加的磁场使得颗粒在体材料内振动，从而增加孔隙率，从而增加流体的流动，从而促进植入物的再吸收 。 植入物的吸收速率可通过调节嵌入颗粒的溶胀，水解或运动来控制。
