A device and means of electrical interconnection and electrical circuit isolation between an implantable stimulation, receiving and/or data transmission lead and a pulse generating or monitoring device. Pulse generating and monitoring devices require an electrical and mechanical interconnection between the stimulation, recording and/or data transmission wires and the active electronic system, each channel or circuit electrically isolated with a high impendence barrier. This device will allow for a rectangular, high-density, unibody, secured, low insertion force connector configuration, increasing the number of connectors and reducing implant size while increasing the number of stimulation and recording channels.

Apparatus and device for the electrical interconnect of implantable devices

A device and method consisting of conductive, non-conductive, and support materials. These materials when dispensed or extruded onto a multitude of temporary structures will create an implantable conductive and non-conductive structure suitable for neurological electrical stimulation and neurological electrical recording. This structure may also be suitable for delivering fluid and/or contain optical structures suitable for physiological sensing.

Apparatus and device to function as an electrical lead consisting of electrodes for neurological stimulation and signal recording

An inflatable central distractor is inserted in to a disc space between two vertebral endplates. A perimeter balloon is inserted into the disc space in such a manner as to surround the central inflatable distractor. The perimeter balloon and the central inflatable distractor are simultaneously expanded such that as the central inflatable distractor expands the perimeter balloon surrounds the central inflatable distractor and such that the central inflatable distractor and the perimeter balloon, when expanded, contribute to forcing adjacent vertebral endplates apart.

Cortical rim-supporting interbody device and method

A method for removing a tissue lesion where an anchor is established with the lesion. A channel is created in the tissue leading to the anchored lesion. A tissue core is created which includes the lesion. The tissue core is ligated, amputated and removed from the channel.

Method for removing a tissue lesion

A method is used to reduce a volume of a stomach of a patient. The method includes inverting a portion of a stomach wall to thereby create an inverted portion. An expandable member is positioned adjacent to the outer surface of the inverted portion. The expandable member is expanded to thereby expand the inverted portion. The expanded expandable member has a first outer diameter. A base region of the inverted portion is cinched to thereby capture the expanded expandable member in the expanded inverted portion. The expanded expandable member has a first outer diameter. Expanding and cinching provide a cinch diameter to first outer diameter ratio from approximately 0.5:1 to approximately 0.9:1.
