    摘要: Various methods of micro-fabricating 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional medical devices comprised of bio-degradable materials. The various methods use conventional photo-lithographic techniques commonly used in the semi-conductor or integrated circuit industry and translate those techniques to process bio-degradable medical devices. The devices may be active, passive or combination active-passive devices for controlling the release of drugs or other bio-active agents contained within the devices. Such devices may be used externally or internally for drug delivery, wound healing, tissue re-generation or the like.

    摘要: Medical devices, and in particular implantable medical devices, may be coated to minimize or substantially eliminate a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism. The medical devices may be coated with any number of biocompatible materials. Therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may be mixed with the biocompatible materials and affixed to at least a portion of the medical device. These therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may also further reduce a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism. In addition, these therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds may be utilized to promote healing, including the formation of blood clots. The drugs, agents, and/or compounds may also be utilized to treat specific diseases, including vulnerable plaque. Therapeutic agents may also be delivered to the region of a disease site. In regional delivery, liquid formulations may be desirable to increase the efficacy and deliverability of the particular drug. Also, the devices may be modified to promote endothelialization. Various materials and coating methodologies may be utilized to maintain the drugs, agents or compounds on the medical device until delivered and positioned. In addition, the devices utilized to deliver the implantable medical devices may be modified to reduce the potential for damaging the implantable medical device during deployment. Medical devices include stents, grafts, anastomotic devices, perivascular wraps, sutures and staples. These devices may also comprise thin films that perform a number of functions. In addition, various polymer combinations may be utilized to control the elution rates of the therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds from the implantable medical devices.

    摘要: A medical device pump with a housing with a compartment for removably receiving a cartridge containing a therapeutic agent, a conduit configured to operatively provide a fluid flow path for therapeutic agent to exit from the cartridge, a user activated delivery button, a trigger mechanism, and a mechanical pump mechanism. The trigger mechanism, user activated delivery button and mechanical pump mechanism of the medical device pump are configured such that the trigger mechanism is activated by a user fully activating the user activated delivery button. Moreover, such full activation generates mechanical power employed by, and sufficient for, the mechanical pump mechanism to pump a predetermined volume of therapeutic agent from the cartridge and through the fluid flow path.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to small, low profile, antenna-transmitter systems that attach to exterior of the body and focus electromagnetic (EM) wave energy onto one or more precise regions inside the body. The antenna-transmitter system may also deliver energy to the surface of the body without focusing. The present invention is further directed to a method of focusing energy, such as electromagnetic radiation, onto a single nerve to effect selective neurostimulation, super- or sub-threshold, using a small, low profile, antenna-transmitter system that attaches to the body exterior and focuses electromagnetic wave energy onto the nerve.
