An implantable, autonomously growing medical device is disclosed. The device may have an outer, braided outer element that holds an inner core. Degradation and/or softening of the inner core permits the outer element to elongate, allowing the device to grow with surrounding tissue. The growth profile of the medical device can be controlled by altering the shape/material/cure conditions of the inner core, as well as the geometry of the out element.

Various exemplary systems, devices, and methods for articulating electrosurgical tools are provided. In general, a surgical tool can be configured to articulate in two planes by selectively pivoting at first and second joints of the surgical tool. The surgical tool can include a plurality of cables configured to facilitate the articulation. Each of the cables can be configured to flex or bend at the first and second joints and can be configured to be selectively actuated to cause the pivoting at the first and second joints. The surgical tool can be configured to releasably couple to a robotic surgical system configured to control a variety of movements and actions associated with the surgical tool, such as the pivoting at the first and second joints.

Articulating electrosurgical tools

The present disclosure relates to a mask assembly system that has an adjustable headgear system with an inflatable cushion connected to the positive air pressure supply for conforming to a user's face.

Facial interface and headgear system for use with ventilation and positive air pressure systems

The present disclosure relates to a comfortable and adjustable nasal pillow configured to be part of a nasal pillow system that is part of a mask system used with a ventilation or PAP device. The nasal pillows are configured to have multiple degrees of freedom of rotation.

Adjustable positive airway pressure or ventilation system

Methods and apparatuses relate to an implantable apparatu0s that may be used to apply tensile force(s) to one or more tissue regions (e.g., proximal and distal esophagus portions, bowel, other conduits) within the body. Such tensile force(s) may cause stretch and/or growth of the tissue region(s). In various embodiments, support members (e.g., suture rings) may be attached to respective tissue regions. The support members may accommodate attachment of a number of sutures along the tissue region. Upon suitable attachment of the support member(s) to the tissue region(s), the actuator may be coupled to the support member(s). The actuator may then be controlled so as to cause relative movement between the support members toward or away from one another. Such movement may result in the application of appropriate tensile force(s) to the tissue region(s).
