A method for treating an aneurysm in accordance with a particular embodiment of the present technology includes intravascularly delivering a mixture including a biopolymer (e.g., chitosan) and a chemical crosslinking agent (e.g., genipin) to an aneurysm. The method further includes mixing the biopolymer and the chemical crosslinking agent to initiate chemical crosslinking of the biopolymer. The mixture is delivered to the aneurysm via a lumen and an exit port of a catheter while the chemical crosslinking is ongoing. The mixture exits the catheter as a single cohesive strand that at least partially agglomerates to form a mass occupying at least 75% of a total internal volume of the aneurysm. During delivery of the mixture, the method includes expanding a tubular flow diverter to reinforce a neck of the aneurysm.

Injectable scaffold for treatment of intracranial aneurysms and related technology

In a surgical drain system formed with two or more branches, exudate flow from a patient's wound is directed between two branches with the respective filling and emptying times determined in order to identify the presence of a blockage in the drain.

Surgical drain

In some examples, a medical device includes a substrate defining a central port configured to provide surgical access to a surgical site opposite the substrate during a surgical procedure; and a plurality of reinforcement features disposed around the central port, wherein each reinforcement feature of the plurality of reinforcement features is configured to receive a suture, and wherein the plurality of reinforcement features are positioned to cause the substrate to tighten around the central port in response to tension being applied to ends of at least one suture connecting two or more reinforcement features.

Surgical site support article

The present invention relates to a prosthetic fabric () comprising an arrangement () of yarns that define at least first and second opposite faces () for said fabric, said fabric comprising on at least said first face, one or more barbs () that protrude outwards relative to said first face, said fabric being covered, at least partly, on said second face with a microporous layer made of a bioresorbable material, said barbs being covered with a coating made of a water-soluble material. The invention also relates to a process for obtaining such a fabric and to prostheses obtained from such a fabric.

Gripping fabric coated with a bioresorbable impenetrable layer

The invention relates to a knit having barbs protruding outwards from both faces obtained by knitting yarns of biocompatible material in guide-bars B, Band Bof a knitting machine, wherein the knitting patterns followed by guide-bars Band Binvolve at least two needles and produce an arrangement of yarns defining two faces of the knit, the knitting pattern followed by guide-bar Bmaking stitches generating loops protruding outwards from each of the faces of the knit, guide-bar Bbeing threaded with a hot-melt monofilament yarn, heat-setting the knit, forming barbs by cutting the loops via melting.

Two-sides gripping knit

A medical drain sensor is provided located in a region of a drain tube which has turbulent or re-circulatory exudate flow. Means are provided in some embodiments to promote or enhance such flow.

In-vivo systems and methods for the detection of early signs of post-surgery infection are described. The in-vivo systems include a drain system with a tube configured to drain fluids from a surgery site, at least one sensor unit for sensing the presence of at least one infection biomarker, a processor for processing a signal generated by the at least one sensor unit, a transmitter for transmitting the signal, and a notification system for receiving the signal, analyzing the signal by comparing it to a threshold, determining presence of infection, and generating an indication on the presence of infection.

System and method for early detection of post-surgery infection

The invention relates to a knit having barbs protruding outwards from both faces obtained by knitting yarns of biocompatible material in guide-bars B2, B3 and B4 of a knitting machine, wherein the knitting patterns followed by guide-bars B2 and B3 involve at least two needles and produce an arrangement of yarns defining two faces of the knit, the knitting pattern followed by guide-bar B4 making stitches generating loops protruding outwards from each of the faces of the knit, guide-bar B4 being threaded with a hot-melt monofilament yarn, heat-setting the knit, forming barbs by cutting the loops via melting.

Multilayer structures including a porous layer and a non-porous layer are useful as buttresses when associated with a surgical stapling apparatus.

Buttress and surgical stapling apparatus

An implant and a process for preparing such an implant are disclosed. The implant includes a porous layer including collagen, a non-porous layer including a collagenic constituent, and a reinforcement component. The non-porous layer is joined to the porous layer and the reinforcement member is embedded into the non-porous layer. The porous layer has a three dimensional density ranging from about 20 mg collagen/cmto about 200 mg collagen/cm.

Biosynthetic implant for soft tissue repair

A bioresorbable and biocompatible compound for surgical use is composed of functionalized collagen cross-linked with a glycosaminoglycan.
