Implantable prosthesis

An implantable prosthesis for repairing an anatomical defect, such as a tissue or muscle wall hernia, including an umbilical hernia, and for preventing the occurrence of a hernia at a small opening or weakness in a tissue or muscle wall, such as at a puncture tract opening remaining after completion of a laparoscopic procedure. The prosthesis includes a patch and / or plug having a body portion that is larger than a portion of the opening or weakness so that placement of the body portion against the defect will cover or extend across that portion of the opening or weakness. At least one tether, such as a strap, extends from the patch or plug and may be manipulated by a surgeon to position the patch or plug relative to the repair site and / or to secure the patch or plug relative to the opening or weakness in the tissue or muscle wall. The tether may be configured to extend through the defect and outside a patient's body to allow a surgeon to position and / or manipulate the patch from a location outside the body. An indicator may be provided on the tether as an aid for a surgeon in determining when the patch or plug has been inserted a sufficient distance within the patient. A support member may be arranged in or on the patch or plug to help deploy the patch or plug at the surgical site and / or help inhibit collapse or buckling of the patch or plug. The patch or plug may be configured with a pocket or cavity to facilitate the deployment and / or positioning of the patch or plug over the opening or weakness.

Simplified one-handed preemptive medical procedure site dressing to prevent sharps injuries and exposure to bloodborne pathogens

A dressing for use with medical procedures is provided that permits application of the dressing prior to the commencement of a medical procedure and wherein the dressing remains on the site after the procedure has been completed. The dressing comprises an absorbent pad, a hinged door and an aperture through which the procedure site can be accessed or it comprises an adhesive bandage part, which is bent and secured in such a way that the bandage forms a door and a hinge, and an adhesive flap component which anchors the bandage to the skin. The bandage is positioned in such a way as to infer or define the location where the procedure is to be performed. In either embodiment, when it is deployed, the door or bandage is rotated around the hinge and can be set in place at a procedure location prior to the procedure. Importantly, the device can be deployed with one hand, to complete the bandaging of a procedure site simultaneous with or within a moment after the completion of the medical procedure. The device is not size-limited by the disclosure. The invention may be small enough to use to perform an injection or it may be large enough that a major surgical procedure can be performed through the aperture. Methods of using the dressing of the present invention are also provided.

Microdermabrasion and suction massage apparatus and method

Microdermabrasion and suction massage apparatus are included in a single unit and alternatively connectable through a mode switch to a source of vacuum. The microdermabrasion section of the unit includes a crystal pick up station operating with a venturi effect to draw crystals through a hole into an air stream. The size of the hole is variable to control crystal density. A bleed valve is provided to control crystal velocity without controlling crystal density, while a bypass valve is provided to control crystal density without controlling crystal velocity. In an associated method, a microdermabrasion procedure is performed on the skin of a patient at an operative site. The mode switch is operated to activate the suction massage apparatus within the unit. This step is followed by performing a suction massage procedure at the operative site in order to promote healing of the abraded skin. The unit can be back flushed by connecting various portions of the unit to a pressurized output of the source of vacuum.

Apparatus and method for targeting for surgical procedures

A targeting instrument that consists of an indicating surface that is a planar body that can be placed so as to lie on the skin of a patient or placed in a cavity in the patient where an operation is being performed by a surgeon, so as to align the operation site with the target being operated on by the surgeon. The targeting instrument can be dimensioned to match the size and shape of the cannula or the desired size of the surgical exposure and can include a stencil configuration to allow the surgeon to inscribe the target area on the skin of the patient. The targeting instrument may include a handle. The method of use is to insert the targeting instrument in the location where the target of the operation is and to hone in on the target with the use of an imaging device. In one method of use this will align the target, select the entry incision and allowing the surgeon to make an accurate and minimally sized incision. In other methods of use, the targeting instrument can be placed in proximity to the skin or thereon of the patient for locating anatomical targets, for localizing bony anatomy.

Imaging system and method for image localization of effecters during a medical procedure

A computer-assisted imaging and localization system assists the physician in positioning implants and instruments into a patient's body. The system displays overlapping images—one image of the surgical site with the patient's anatomy and another image showing the implant(s) or instrument(s). The overlapping image of the implant / instrument is moved over the static image of the anatomy as the implant / instrument is moved. The moving image of the implant / instrument can be an unaltered image or an image altered to intensify or mitigate the anatomical or non-anatomical aspects of the moving image. Sliding these images over one another helps the surgeon in positioning devices or instruments with a high degree of accuracy and with a limited number of additional x-rays.

Extendable suction surface for bracing medical devices during robotically assisted medical procedures

Medical devices robotically manipulated by a medical robotic system for performing a medical procedure on a patient are bundled together as a bundled unit and inserted into the patient through a single entry port. Bracing of the bundled unit at a surgical site is performed by extending a suction surface disposed at a distal end of the bundled unit towards a bracing surface at the surgical site and applying a suction force between the suction surface and the bracing surface. The suction surface is ring-shaped with holes distributed about the ring so that controllably extendable and retractable tubes coupled at distal ends to the holes provide suction to the suction surface when coupled at proximal ends to a vacuum source.
