摘要： Steerable medical devices display systems including a handle and an elongate shaft extending distally from the handle to a distal tip, a motor control assembly including a motor control housing configured to detachably interface with the handle, a first deflection mechanism disposed within the handle, the first deflection mechanism being configured to deflect the distal tip in a first plane, and a work station in electronic communication with the motor control assembly, the work station including at least a display screen. The work station may be configured to display a dashboard including visual information of a position of the distal tip.

摘要： A steerable medical device includes a handle and an elongate shaft extending distally from the handle to a distal tip. A motor control assembly including a motor control housing is configured to detachably interface with the handle. The motor control assembly includes a first drive assembly and a second drive assembly disposed within the motor control housing. The motor control assembly includes an input device and a controller that is operably coupled with the first drive assembly, the second drive assembly and the input device. The controller is configured to control operation of the first drive assembly and/or the second drive assembly in order to move the distal tip, receive one or more user inputs from a user via the input device, and to modify operation of the first drive assembly and/or the second drive assembly in accordance with the received one or more inputs.

摘要： Medical devices, assemblies and methods for guarding sharp tips of medical needles are disclosed herein. Some embodiments include an expandable device configured to be at least partially disposed within the needle lumen. The device may include an expandable distal portion that is designed to shift between a first configuration in which the expandable distal portion has an outer diameter that is the same as or less than the inner diameter of the needle lumen and a second configuration in which the expandable distal portion has an outer diameter that is greater than the inner diameter of the needle lumen. An elongated inner member may be used to shift the expandable distal portion from the first configuration to the second configuration.

摘要： A method for reducing mucus accumulation in an airway including disposing an implantable device within an airway, wherein the implantable device has a first end, a second end, and an inner surface defining a lumen extending from the first end to the second end; wherein at least a portion of the inner surface has a hydrophobic polymer coating thereon, wherein a polymer coating surface has dynamic water contact angles of 145 degrees or greater; and wherein the implantable device is constructed and arranged to maintain patency of the airway; wherein accumulation of mucus is reduced as compared to a similar implantable device without the hydrophobic portion of the inner surface. An implantable medical device having a superhydrophobic surface and a method of making an implantable medical device having a superhydrophobic surface are also provided. An implantable medical device having a micropatterned surface with enhanced adhesion to tissue, optionally in combination with other region(s) having a superhydrophobic surface and a method of making such a device. Methods and devices for prevention of bacterial adhesion to implanted medical devices.
