A kit for performing a spine stabilization procedure is provided. The kit can include a balloon-tipped cannula having an expandable balloon enclosed by an expandable metal mesh. The balloon-tipped cannula can be configured to pass through a working sleeve and to expand the expandable balloon and expandable metal mesh within a surgical site. The kit can also include a pedicle screw having at least one fenestration or cannulation. The pedicle screw can be configured to be inserted into the surgical site. Related apparatus, systems, kits, techniques and articles are also described.

Spinal stability system with expandable cannula

A device for a spinal stabilization procedure includes a cannulated tubular body configured to be inserted into a spinal surgical site and an expansion component coupled to the cannulated tubular body. The expansion component can include a plurality of elongated mechanical supports which can be axially aligned with the cannulated tubular body when in a collapsed state, and which can bend outward in a radial direction when in an expanded state. The mechanical expansion can be controlled using one or more adjustment elements of the device. Related apparatus, systems, kits, techniques and articles are also described.

Spinal stability system

A foldable absorbent apparatus to ameliorate bleeding of a wound which includes a first and second absorbent pad layer to absorb a fluid, and a malleable material layer enclosed within the first and second absorbent layer configured to be formed in various shapes, wherein the malleable material allows the first and second absorbent pad layers to be formed in various shapes to apply a pressure to a wound while at the same time absorbing fluids from the wound to promote healing of the wound.

A system for humidifying oxygen for low-flow oxygen therapy includes a volume-adaptable water reservoir that contains, in addition to water, a water-vapor-permeable membrane.

Low-flow oxygen therapy humidifier and method

A simple method of making robust radiation sensor cables using a special fiber cap that holds a scintillating fiber therein directly abutting an end of a fiber optic cable, thus providing a clean and protected connection therebetween.

Small diameter radiation sensor cable

A duplex plastic optical fiber may be used to create a dual detector system, which allows for the detection of two distinct areas of radiation in a single sensor cable device. A fiber cap holds a scintillating fiber and slides over an exposed portion of an optical fiber adjacent to an end of the optical fiber to create a concentric connection for a radiation sensor cable used in medical radiation therapy.

A fluid introduction system includes an introducer configured to create a pressure of at least 69 kPa within a spine, and an operator configured to actuate the introducer to introduce fluid into the spine according to a predetermined fluid introduction profile. The system can include a computer readable medium having code for receiving fluid introduction data indicative of a fluid introduction parameter, and for receiving response data indicative of a response of the patient at a time related to a time of the fluid introduction data. A method for introducing fluid includes positioning a first introducer in a first portion of a spine, positioning a second introducer in a second, different portion of the spine and, without removing the first and second introducers, introducing fluid into the first portion of the spine with the first introducer and introducing fluid into the second portion of the spine with the second introducer.
