| 20090088720 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HARVESTING, STORING, AND IMPLANTING HAIR GRAFTS - A system and method for harvesting, storing, and implanting biological units, in particular hair follicular units (FUs). The system is particularly useful to facilitate hair transplant procedures. FUs are harvested from a body surface, either attached to a patient or in a strip of removed tissue, and shuttled into a cartridge having a plurality of receptacles. The receptacles are open in a distal direction toward a removal tool, but a cover over the proximal ends of the receptacles prevents the FUs from continuing out of the cartridge. The cover is made of a permissible medium, which may be fluid permeable and/or puncturable. One way to shuttle the FUs is to provide a pressure differential, such as by applying suction to the proximal end of a receptacle. The shuttle subsystem may be incorporated within an overall automated or robotic system, or the shuttle subsystem may form part of a semi-automated or even manual apparatus. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090099543 | Hands-free Medicine Vial Holder - As an Orthopedist I have found that if I have to hold both the vial and the syringe while I draw up medications it poses numerous problems. The first problem is that when I was aiming the needle towards the small vial in my hand, if my aim were to be off there was a likelihood that I would end up sticking my hand. Another problem was that having only one free hand to draw up the syringe (while the other hand was holding the vial) required me to contort my fingers in such a way that led to fatigue. Another problem that came up was that in certain situations administering injections had to be done under aseptic conditions which became more difficult when I had to handle the vial at the same time. The Hands-free medicine vial holder solves all these problems. | 04-16-2009 |
