An expandable rod system includes a first rod portion having an internal cavity, a second rod portion sealingly positioned within the internal cavity of the first rod portion and moveable in a first axial direction relative to the first rod portion, and an osmotic chamber for receiving an osmotic agent to facilitate movement of the second rod portion to expand the rod system. The rod system includes a lock assembly engageable with the second rod portion to prevent the second rod portion from moving in a second axial direction. The lock assembly includes a tapered ramped portion and a bearing member that is moveable within the tapered ramped portion such that when compression forces are imparted on the second rod portion, the bearing member becomes wedged in the tapered ramped portion.

Orthopedic growing devices

Dispensing devices and systems for oral transmucosal administration of small volume drug dosage forms to the oral mucosa are provided. The dispensing device may be a single dose applicator (SDA), or an electromechanical device comprising a means for patient identification such as a wrist worn RFID tag and annular bidirectional antenna together with a lock-out feature.

Storage and dispensing devices for administration of oral transmucosal dosage forms

One variation of a system for tracking and responding to Sun exposure includes: a housing configured to transiently attach to a port on a first garment; a jack coupled to the housing configured to transiently engage a port on the first garment; a radiation sensor arranged in the housing and configured to detect solar radiation incident on the housing; and a controller configured to: read an identifier of the first garment from the port via the jack; based on the identifier, estimate a skin exposure of a user wearing the first garment; read a solar radiation value from the radiation sensor at a first time; and, based on the solar radiation value and the skin exposure, estimate a solar radiation exposure of the user at the first time.

System for tracking and responding to solar radiation exposure for improvement of athletic performance

A method of removing exhaled material from a medical procedure field adjacent to a subject's nose and mouth. In some embodiments the method includes the steps of placing an isolation barrier at least partially surrounding the subject's nose and mouth to define the medical procedure field; controlling air flow into the medical procedure field with the isolation barrier; and evacuating air from the medical procedure field at an air evacuation rate greater than or equal to the subject's respiratory minute volume. The invention also provides a system for creating an isolated medical procedure field around a subject's nose and mouth.

Devices, systems, and methods for protecting healthcare workers from airborne pathogens

An isolation barrier and method of using it. The isolation barrier includes a mask with a face opening and at least one access opening in front of the subject's nose and/or mouth and an enclosure having a first enclosure opening attached around the access opening, a second enclosure opening, and flexible material extending from the first enclosure opening to the second enclosure opening and defining an enclosure interior, the flexible material comprising at least one area through which the enclosure interior can be viewed, the mask and enclosure interior defining a medical procedure field extending from the subject's nose and mouth to the second enclosure opening when the isolation barrier is in place on the subject's face.

One variation of a method includes: accessing a skin type of a user; predicting a first set of locations occupied by the user during a first future time interval; based on historical ultraviolet irradiance data and the first future time interval, calculating a first predicted unprotected ultraviolet radiation exposure of the user during the first future time interval; calculating a maximum allowable ultraviolet radiation exposure for periods within the first future time interval based on the skin type of the user; calculating a first minimum sun protection factor predicted to reduce the first predicted unprotected ultraviolet radiation exposure to less than the maximum allowable ultraviolet radiation exposure; selecting a first sunscreen formula characterized by a first sun protection factor greater than the first minimum sun protection factor; and shipping the first volume of the first sunscreen formula to the user prior to the first future time interval.

Method for automatically selecting and providing sunscreen for users

One variation of a method for measuring ambient ultraviolet light radiation including: calculating a target direct orientation of a light exposure device based on a location, a current date and time, and a direct solar position model; calculating a target diffuse orientation of the light exposure device based on the location, the current date and time, and a diffuse solar position model; in response to detecting alignment between orientation of the light exposure device and the target direct orientation, recording a direct ultraviolet value; in response to detecting alignment between orientation of the light exposure device and the target diffuse orientation, recording a diffuse ultraviolet value; in response to detecting alignment between orientation of the light exposure device and a target global orientation, recording a global ultraviolet value; and calculating an ultraviolet index based on the global ultraviolet value, the direct ultraviolet value, and the diffuse ultraviolet value.

Method and system for measuring local ultraviolet exposure

Systems and methods for administration of small volume sufentanil drug dosage forms to the sublingual mucosa of a subject using a device are disclosed. The dispensing device includes a lock-out feature and a means to retard or prevent saliva and/or moisture ingress such that the drug dosage forms in the device remain dry prior to administration.

Apparatus for administering small volume oral transmucosal dosage forms

Compositions, systems and methods for administration of small volume sufentanil drug dosage forms to the sublingual mucosa of a subject for treatment of pain using a device are disclosed.

Small volume oral transmucosal dosage forms containing sufentanil for treatment of pain

Small-volume oral transmucosal dosage forms or NanoTabs&#xae; comprising a predetermined amount of a pharmaceutically active drug are provided. Exemplary applications include use of the NanoTabs&#xae; to administer a drug for the treatment of acute, post-operative or breakthrough pain.

Small-volume oral transmucosal dosage forms

Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to needle-based injectors that incorporate a power assembly comprising a stored energy source and a rate control assembly. The power assembly may be further configured to allow the injection to be performed with more force than a user may be capable of delivering, while also allowing the user to maintain control of the injection process after the stored energy source has been released and the injection has begun, such the user may increase or decrease the rate of injection, or stop the injection, during the injection process. In various embodiments, the power assembly may comprise spring- or gas-based stored energy sources, and/or may comprise friction- or tension-based rate control assemblies. Described herein are also methods for injecting an agent using embodiments of the devices described here.
