Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for providing pulsed electrical treatment (including high voltage, sub-microsecond pulsed electric energy) to body vessels. The apparatus may include deployable electrodes that conform to transitional surfaces. These apparatuses may include multiple wire loops forming petal-like electrodes configured to expand with an expandable member, such as a balloon.

Circumferential ablation devices and methods

An apparatus for closing a surgical incision comprises left and right base panels, a plurality of closure components, and a plurality of left and right axial supports coupled to the respective base panels. The closure components couple the left and right base panels to each other laterally and have left and right ends coupled to the respective base panels. The closure components are positioned laterally across the left and right panels, the left axial supports are disposed between pairs of left closure component ends, the right axial supports are disposed between pairs of right closure component ends, and the left and right axial supports are offset from one another such that a serpentine arrangement of consecutive closure components and axial supports is formed. The apparatus can be made of antimicrobial materials or materials impregnated with antimicrobial agents. A flexible adhesive cover can be provided over the apparatus when in use.

Closure apparatuses and methods for ulcers and irregular skin defects

A novel catheter is disclosed comprising an electrode array that is capable of switching between a sensing configuration for sensing electrical signals of biological tissue and an ablation configuration for delivery of ablation energy at a region of interest. Irrigation ports are interlaced within the electrode array to vent irrigant during an ablation procedure to; prevent excessive heating, charring of tissue, coagulation of blood, and allow for efficient delivery of ablation therapy for maximum therapy efficacy. The novel catheter includes a plurality of splines with linear portions wherein the electrodes of the electrode array are disposed. The splines are connected by connectors which include one or more bends capable of storing potential energy when the bends are elastically deformed, enabling collapse and expansion of the catheter in a sheath. Software logic associated with this catheter analyzes sensing signals to diagnose critical regions of the biological rhythm disorder, and enables directional guidance to move the catheter to critical regions for therapy.

An implant removal device for removal of ruptured silicone breast implants includes a hollow container having a middle portion disposed between a first end and a second end. The device also has a connector port coupled to the second end that is coupled to a suction device during use. The device also includes a nozzle coupled to the first end that is configured for placement against an incision of a patient for removing a ruptured breast implant from the patient. The positioning of the nozzle on said first end is offset from a longitudinal axis that extends in a direction parallel to the length of the middle portion and within the middle portion. The nozzle opening may include gripping portions for aiding in gripping the implant shell during the removal process.

Surgical incision and closure apparatus

Some embodiments relate to a catheter system having a changeable or adjustable working length. The catheter system can comprise a proximal end, a distal end, and a first axial lumen configured to receive a guidewire formed through at least a portion of the catheter body. A first opening can be formed through a portion of the catheter body and be in communication with the first lumen. The sheath can be rotatable, axially movable, or otherwise changeable from at least a first position to a second position, wherein the sheath can substantially cover the first opening in the catheter body in the first position, and can substantially expose the first opening in the catheter body in the second position.

Methods to generate elongated wires having a metallic substrate thereon and devices comprising the same. In a method of generating a device, the method comprises the steps of applying a first nonconductive coating upon an elongated core body of the device; applying a first conductive coating upon the first nonconductive coating; applying a photoresist coating upon the first conductive coating; directing a laser/light from a laser/light source upon portions of the photoresist coating to cause said portions of the photoresist coating to harden; applying a first chemical to the photoresist coating to remove the photoresist coating that was not hardened by the laser/light; and applying a second chemical to the hardened photoresist coating to expose portions of the first conductive coating previously positioned below the hardened photoresist coating.

This document discloses EEG headset designs that address shortcomings in prior art headsets and also provides headset solutions for new and useful applications utilizing EEG headsets. One such application is brain computer interface (BCI) applications, and more specifically, a BCI application for stroke therapy in which the headset is utilized to obtain ipsilateral brain signals. This document also discloses BCI devices and methods utilizing EEG headsets.

EEG headsets with precise and consistent electrode positioning

An apparatus includes a slotted tube having a plurality of first slots and a plurality of second slots; an imager disposed in the slotted tube, the imager having a plurality of corners arranged in the plurality of first slots; and a plurality of light guides disposed in the plurality of second slots.

Slotted imaging probe

An apparatus includes a trimmed imager including an imager chip and an encapsulation layer, the imager chip have a polygonal cross-section with a first number of corners, the encapsulation layer being disposed around the polygonal cross-section of the imager chip and having a second number of corners that is greater than the first number of corners; and a slotted tube having a plurality of first slots, the corners of the encapsulation layer being disposed in the plurality of first slots.

Trimmed imager probe

The present invention provides a low-risk, unobtrusive and noninvasive method and device for treatment of obesity and eating disorders. In embodiments, the device is a gastric device suitable for placement in a stomach of a subject. The device may be composed of a sponge material which absorbs fluid upon implantation and expands in volume, thereby functioning as a space occupying device in the stomach to cause early satiety.

Gastric device and method of use thereof

An apparatus for releasably engaging an implantable medical device during delivery includes an elongate, tubular body having an open distal end a plurality of deflectable jaw members extending distally from the distal end of the body and terminating in distal tip portions, and an actuating member slidably disposed within the body and including a distal end portion operable to prevent inward deflection of the jaw members when positioned proximate the distal tip portions. The jaw members are adapted to releasably engage an engagement feature of the implantable medical device.
