The present disclosure is directed to a medical instrument. The medical instrument may include a delivery device and a retraction mechanism including a target tissue anchor and a first stabilizing anchor, wherein the target tissue anchor attaches to target tissue and connects to the delivery device.

Tissue retraction devices and related methods of use

Medical devices and methods of using medical devices are disclosed. An example tissue retraction device includes a first engagement member having a first end and a second end, a second engagement member having a first end and a second end, a first elastic member attached to the second end of the first engagement member, and a first alignment member having a first end, a second end and a lumen extending therethrough. Further, the tissue retraction device has a first length, the first alignment member has a second length, the first elastic member extends within the lumen of the first alignment member and the second length of the first alignment member is less than or equal to the first length of the tissue retraction device.

Tissue retraction device and delivery system

A wearable continuous analyte monitoring (CAM) device includes a disposable sensor unit and a long-life reusable transmitter unit. The transmitter unit has no power source and has an enclosure that seals wireless transmitter circuitry within. The disposable sensor unit is configured to receive and provide power to the transmitter unit therein. Upon expiration of the disposable sensor unit, the transmitter unit can be removed from the disposable sensor unit and reused in another disposable sensor unit with a fresh power source. The CAM device has a cover constructed of a fabric material to improve aesthetics and feel of the CAM device. Methods of preparing and applying the CAM device to a user's skin are also provided, as are other aspects.

Continuous analyte monitoring devices and systems having a long-life reusable wireless transmitter unit and application methods therefor

A continuous analyte monitor wearable device. The wearable device includes a primary portion comprising at least a sensor assembly comprising a biosensor, and a secondary portion comprising a pocket configured to receive a transmitter unit and a sealable opening to the pocket, the sealable opening containing an adhesive on edges thereof; and a backing member provided over the adhesive wherein removing the backing member exposes the adhesive to seal the sealable opening and encapsulate the transmitter unit. Biosensor inserters and method of using the biosensor inserter are also provided.

Wearable continuous analyte measurement devices, biosensor inserters, and methods of use

A cannulated retrograde reamer configured to be disposed over a guidewire that is adjustable to create tunnels of multiple different diameters. The cannulated retrograde reamer substantially reduces the risk of tunnel malposition and/or misalignment, and can be adjusted to create a range of tunnel diameters, thereby allowing inventory levels to be reduced for a surgical case.

Surgical instrument

A marker system includes a biopsy apparatus having a cannula and a stylet. The cannula has a distal end, the stylet has a distal stylet tip, and the stylet is received in the cannula. A tissue marker is coupled to the distal stylet tip. The tissue marker is configured to be contacted by the distal end of the cannula. The tissue marker is detached from the stylet distal tip by either of a proximal movement of the stylet relative to the cannula or a distal movement of the cannula relative to the stylet.

Single-insertion, multiple sampling biopsy device usable with various transport systems and integrated markers

A biosensor inserter is configured to insert a biosensor. The biosensor inserter includes a push member including a receiver, a contact member translatable relative to the push member, and a trocar holder having a sheath configured to receive a trocar assembly including a trocar therein. The trocar holder is configured to be insertable into, and removable from, the receiver. Thus, an amount of medical waste can be minimized by discarding only the removable trocar holder and trocar assembly after use. System and method embodiments are provided.

Biosensor inserters and methods with reduced medical waste

Disclosed is a two-step rapid insertion central catheter ('RICC') system that can include an introducer placement system, a docking station and a catheter placement system. The introducer placement system can place an introducer within a vasculature, which is supported by a docking station that detaches from a distal end of the introducer placement system. A catheter placement system can be configured to couple with the docking station, and a catheter can be advanced through the introducer into the vasculature. The introducer can then be split and retracted before the catheter placement system disengages the docking station. The docking station can be configured to split and disengage from the catheter. The RICC system can include a guidewire hub to prevent guidewire embolisms, collapsible sterile barriers to prevent contamination, and locking features to prevent premature advancement of guidewires, dilators and the like.

Splitable catheter docking station system and method

A cannulated retrograde reamer is adjustable to create tunnels of multiple different diameters. The cannulated retrograde reamer has a first tubular shaft and a second tubular shaft disposed about the first tubular shaft. A cutting member is pivotably coupled to the distal end of the first tubular shaft. The distal end of the second tubular shaft is configured to engage and disengage the proximal end of the cutting member by the rotation and axial movement of the second tubular shaft relative to the first tubular shaft to open and close the cutting member. The cannulated retrograde reamer substantially reduces the risk of tunnel malposition and/or misalignment, and can be adjusted to create a range of tunnel diameters, thereby allowing inventory levels to be reduced for a surgical case.

A catheter system including a housing and a drive mechanism supported by the housing is provided. The drive mechanism includes an engagement structure configured to engage and to impart movement to a guide wire. The engagement structure defines a path for the guide wire, and the engagement structure is moveable between an engaged position in which the engagement structure engages the guide wire and a disengaged position in which the engagement structure does not engage the guide wire. The catheter system includes a biasing element configured to bias the engagement structure toward the engaged position, and the biasing element is aligned generally parallel to the path defined by the engagement structure.

Robotic catheter system

Aanalyte monitoring device

The present invention relates to a system and process for a nutraceutical beverage compounding system and methods for the same. Provided is a customizable supplement beverage system and method for personalizing and operating the same to a particular user and optionally for operative tracking. Proposed additionally is an operative system for receiving and individually identifying a concentrate or supplement combinations, for mixing the same prior to a use, and for dispensing the same for use, and for tracking control factors relating to the same.

System for mixing beverages and method of doing the same

A single-insertion biopsy device includes a cannula having an extraction position at a distal end and a recovery opening at a proximal end. A first elongate element has a first distal end and a second elongate element has a second distal end. The first elongate element and the second elongate element are configured to move between the extraction position and the recovery opening, and to move with respect to each other to define an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the closed configuration, the first and second distal ends are mutually radially opposite such that the first elongate element and the second elongate element surround a volume. A drive unit is configured to move the first elongate element and the second elongate element between the open and closed configurations, and to move the first and second distal ends in unison from the extraction position to the recovery opening.
