604036000 | Means moved by person to introduce and remove material | 10 |
20090275885 | GUIDE WIRE EXTENSION FOR SHAPE MEMORY POLYMER OCCLUSION REMOVAL DEVICES - A flexible extension for a shape memory polymer occlusion removal device. A shape memory polymer instrument is transported through a vessel via a catheter. A flexible elongated unit is operatively connected to the distal end of the shape memory polymer instrument to enhance maneuverability through tortuous paths en route to the occlusion. | 11-05-2009 |
20100168656 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TREATING URETHRAL INCONTINENCE - The invention relates to apparatus (A) for injection of therapeutic agents into surrounding lumenal tissue, for example, to treat urinary incontinence and gastroesophageal reflux disease. | 07-01-2010 |
20100324475 | POLYMER RELEASING ORTHOPEDIC TREATMENT SYSTEM - The present invention provides an orthopedic treatment system and a method for selectively releasing a growth agent to a surgical site associated with a bone structure that was borne by endoscopically debrided osseus tissue and adapted for receiving the growth agent. | 12-23-2010 |
20110066102 | Irrigation Device - An irrigation device for irrigating a body cavity, such as an ear canal, is disclosed. The irrigation device comprises a hand-held pumping device and an irrigating tip. The hand-held pumping device includes a liquid reservoir and a pumping mechanism, which may be in the form of a spray bottle with a squeeze trigger. The outlet of the pumping mechanism is directly connected to the irrigating tip. The irrigating tip includes a connector and a short end or irrigation tube that is made of a flexible material and has inner and outer dimensions and a length suitable for insertion into the ear canal. When liquid is drawn from the reservoir and propelled through the irrigating tip, the irrigating tip oscillates as the fluid passes through it and into the ear canal. Kits including an irrigating device, irrigating tips, a basin, and a holder for the irrigating device are also disclosed. | 03-17-2011 |
20130324918 | INJECTOR APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DRUG DELIVERY - Methods and apparatus provide a therapeutic fluid to devices implanted in the body, for example to containers of devices implanted in the eye of a patient. The methods and apparatus may comprise an injector to increase an amount of therapeutic agent injected into the device implanted in the eye, or a structure to receive the therapeutic fluid within the device implanted in the eye, or combinations thereof. The device implanted in the eye may comprise a reservoir chamber having a fluid with a density different than the therapeutic fluid, and the apparatus can be adapted to at least partially separate the implanted device fluid from therapeutic fluid within the reservoir chamber to increase and amount of therapeutic fluid placed in the reservoir chamber. | 12-05-2013 |

20100125240 | THERAPEUTIC MATERIAL DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR TISSUE VOIDS AND CANNULATED IMPLANTS - Described herein is a novel drug delivery assembly having particular applicability to the field of orthopedic and surgical medicine. The devices and assemblies described herein enable the efficient application and retention of potentially expensive therapeutic materials to very specific locations, particularly those associated with voids in bone and tissue. One particularly unique aspect of the present invention involves the introduction of constructs which promote the retention of therapeutic material in the target area of application for beneficial use, for example by forming a proximal barrier that prevents leakage of the therapeutic material out of the target area. Additionally, the present invention provides unique devices and methods for surgical introduction of such constructs. The present invention finds particular application in connection with introduction of stem and progenitor cells, bioactive molecules and bone scaffold materials in conjunction with bone voids and with the use of cannulated implants, such as bone screws (also surgical screws) and pins. The present invention also has beneficial use in the delivery of cancer drugs, antimicrobials, bone cements and other therapeutic materials. | 05-20-2010 |
604038000 | Piston | 4 |
20090088682 | Wearable infusion device - A wearable infusion device comprises a component that causes a piston to move an incremental distance to cause the device to dispense a dose of medicament from a reservoir. | 04-02-2009 |
20110152754 | Bone graft applicator - Disclosed herein is a bone graft applicator assembly including a specially designed applicator, attached to a reservoir of bone graft material, such that the graft material can be moved into the delivery portion while the tip of the delivery portion is in place. The instantly disclosed device allows for the collapse of the delivery tip so that the tip can be placed between vertebras or alternatively within any bony structure or implant where the placement of bone graft material would be desirable, and then expanded to allow the bone graft material to be placed between the vertebras or the like while maintaining the geometry of the space into which the bone graft material is being placed. | 06-23-2011 |
