Systems, devices, and methods are provided for drug delivery and vascular remodeling, particularly the use of a high-energy electromagnetic field to impart kinetic energy to the drug molecule or to tough calcific lesions during balloon angioplasty. The receiver is capable of absorbing electromagnetic energy and configured to oscillate upon absorbing electromagnetic energy, wherein oscillation of the receiver creates a physical motion that imparts kinetic energy to one or more drug molecules and enables or enhances penetration and/or diffusion of the drug molecules into a selected tissue. Embodiments are also provided in which a balloon catheter, with or without a drug-coated stent, comprises the receiver.

High energy assisted drug delivery and vascular remodeling

An Umbilical Forming Device is provided for enhancing healing of an umbilical wound, scar, or contour in a subject following a surgery involving the umbilicus, including but not limited to an abdominoplasty. The Umbilical Forming Device comprises a flexible body configured for use during healing of the umbilical wound. In some aspects, the flexible body is free of any holes. In other aspects, the flexible body comprises a wall, wherein the wall defines a hollow cavity and comprises one or more holes configured to facilitate drainage of secretions and/or ventilation of the umbilical wound, including wherein the flexible body further comprises proximal and/or distal openings configured to facilitate observation of the healing of the umbilical wound, removal of any secretions from the umbilical wound, and/or administration of one or more therapeutic agents to the umbilical wound. Methods of use and kits comprising the devices disclosed herein are also provided.
