Fred H Burbank, a talented inventor based in Laguna Niguel, CA (US), has made significant contributions to the field of medical technology. With an impressive portfolio of 83 patents, his innovative ideas have revolutionized medical procedures and patient care.
One of Burbank's latest patents is for a Marker or Filler Forming Fluid. This solution aims to create a marker or filler mass for intracorporeal sites within the body. By utilizing a polar, water-soluble non-aqueous solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide and a bioabsorbable, essentially water-insoluble polymer like polylactic acid or copolymers of lactic acid and glycolic acid, Burbank's solution enables the delivery of the marker or filler to biopsy sites through a syringe and delivery tube. The delivery tube even features a releasable radiopaque element on its distal tip, which can be released within the polymeric marker mass formed in the biopsy cavity.
In addition, Burbank has also patented a System for Marker or Filler Forming Fluid, which offers a method for partially filling and marking patient cavities. This system involves a delivery device containing marker forming fluid capable of partially filling and forming a bioabsorbable body within the cavity. This bioabsorbable body contains a radiopaque marker that remains in place even after the body has formed within the cavity.
