摘要: A method of facilitating access to a neonate through a caesarean incision in the woman's abdomen by opening the incision, includes providing a supporting ring dimensioned to allow delivery of a neonate through the ring and comprising a non-adjustable pelvic-region retractor and handle fixed to the supporting ring and articulating the supporting ring to insert the non-adjustable pelvic-region retractor into the incision to cover and hold back the woman's bladder with the supporting ring disposed over the woman's abdomen. A first adjustable saddle-shaped retractor is then inserted into the incision to cup a first section of abdominal tissue on an abdominal side of the incision, before attaching the first adjustable saddle-shaped retractor to the supporting ring while it is cupping the first section of abdominal tissue at a first position spaced apart from the non-adjustable pelvic-region retractor to anchor the supporting ring to the woman and partially open the incision.

摘要: A monitoring system comprises sensors adapted to be worn by a user, and, a processor linked with the sensor. The processor receives sensor data and processes this data to determine user posture data including data indicative of vertical distance between level of the user's heart and ankle. Based on the posture data together with a value for degree of user chronic venous insufficiency and/or blood density, generate an estimate of user static venous pressure while the user is static, without calf muscle pump activity. The processor also processes the sensor data to determine if there is calf muscle pump activity, and generates an estimate of user active venous pressure according to the static venous pressure estimate, rate of calf muscle activity, and a value for degree of user chronic venous insufficiency. The processor may generate the venous pressure estimate in real time, and may control an NMES device accordingly.

摘要: A gait management apparatus applies stimulation to a user suffering from a neurological disease (such as Parkinson's Disease) gait dysfunction. Motion sensors are arranged to be worn by a patient, and electrical stimulation electrodes are on the legs for stimulation. A controller receives motion sensing signals, and processes these signals to generate stimulation signals for operation of the electrodes to stimulate limb movement upon detection of a gait abnormality. There may be a user actuator for user actuation of electrical stimulation, and the inputs may be a series of taps. The controller may provide signals to prevent occurrence of freezing of gait when it senses that a patient is walking or has an intention to walk. Also, it may apply stimulation at an intensity level which is insufficient for functional muscle stimulation but sufficiently high to trigger activation of efferent nerves.

摘要: A catheter-based ultrasound imaging system configured to provide a full circumferential 360-degree view around an intra-vascular/intra-cardiac imaging-catheter-head by generating a three-dimensional view of the tissue surrounding the imaging-head over time. The ultrasound imaging system can also provide tissue-state mapping capability. The evaluation of the vasculature and tissue characteristics include path and depth of lesions during cardiac-interventions such as ablation. The ultrasound imaging system comprises a catheter with a static or rotating sensor array tip supporting continuous circumferential rotation around its axis, connected to an ultrasound module and respective processing machinery allowing ultrafast imaging and a rotary motor that translates radial movements around a longitudinal catheter axis through a rotary torque transmitting part to rotate the sensor array-tip. This allows the capture and reconstruction of information of the vasculature including tissue structure around the catheter tip for generation of the three-dimensional view over time.

摘要: A device for occlusion of a body lumen including an implantable occlusion apparatus (3) operably attached to an elongated catheter member (4) configured for transluminal delivery and deployment of the occlusion apparatus in the body lumen. The occlusion apparatus includes a radially expansible element (5) detachably attached to the elongated catheter member, and adjustable between a contracted orientation for transluminal delivery and a deployed orientation configured to occlude the body lumen, an energy delivery element (6, 14, 21) configured to deliver energy to surrounding tissue to heat the tissue, and a sensor (7) configured to detect a parameter of the wall of the body lumen. The energy delivery element (6, 14, 21) and sensor (7) are axially movable independently of the radially expansible element whereby, in use, the energy delivery element and sensor can be transluminally retracted leaving the radially expansible element in-situ occluding the body lumen.

摘要: An implantable medical device having a soft tissue interfacing surface comprises at least one soft actuatable capsule having a soft tissue interfacing deflectable membrane configured for cyclical deflection upon actuation of the capsule to modulate the biomechanics of the soft tissue interface during use. The actuatable capsule may comprise an actuation chamber containing a first fluid, a therapeutic chamber containing a second fluid, a deflectable membrane separating the actuation chamber and therapeutic chamber, and an actuation conduit in fluidic communication with the actuation chamber for pneumatic actuation of the actuation chamber. The therapeutic chamber comprises the soft tissue interfacing deflectable membrane which is configured to cyclically deflect during actuation of the capsule and modulate the biomechanics of the soft tissue interface by altering one or more of strain, fluid flow and cellular activity in peri-implant tissue at the soft tissue interface. Methods of reducing fibrotic encapsulation of an implantable medical device are also described.

摘要: A method of producing a multi-layered functionalised graphene oxide paper, comprises the steps of providing an aqueous suspension of oxidised graphene oxide flakes, size reducing the oxidised graphene oxide flakes in the suspension to provide an aqueous suspension of particulate oxidised graphene oxide having an average particle size of less than 1 μm and drying the aqueous suspension in a vessel to provide a multi-layered graphene oxide material. The multi-layered graphene oxide material is annealed to provide a multi-layered reduced graphene oxide material, before surface grafting functional groups to the surface of the multi-layered reduced graphene oxide material by reacting the material with a functional group precursor in the presence of plasma. The use of a graphene oxide material to treat bone defects, and as an energy storage device, is also described.
