Publication number: 20200182757Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices and methods for processing and harvesting adipose tissue. The present disclosure provides improved devices, systems, and methods for harvesting, processing, and filtering adipose tissue for autologous fat transfer procedures. The features of the devices and systems of the present disclosure increase efficiency and sterility of adipose tissue processing by reducing the need for users to interrupt the procedure to adjust some part of the system, such as unclogging filter pores or adjusting tubing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Brian Hamstrom, Erin M.

Patent number: 10314743Abstract: An intraocular shunt can be manufactured using a system that includes a liquid bath and a wire, which is moved through the bath. The wire can be moved through a first liquid bath to produce a first tubular layer of drug-infused gelatin. Further, the wire can be moved through a second liquid bath to produce a second tubular layer of drug-free gelatin. The first and second tubular layers can be dried on the wire in a humidity-controlled space, thereby manufacturing a drug-loaded gelatin shunt.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: AQUESYS, INC.Inventors: Laszlo O. Romoda, Brian Hamstrom, Partha Chandrakant, Christopher Horvath

Publication number: 20190167475Abstract: Methods and devices for adjusting or configuring the flow rate of an intraocular shunt are provided whereby hypotony can be avoided by increasing the flow rate through the device. In some embodiments, the device is a shunt that can have a first flow that can be modified to a second flow by modifying the shunt, such as by cutting the shunt. Additionally, one or more dissolvable portions can be present to provide an initial flow restriction and subsequent increase in flow over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2019Publication date: June 6, 2019Inventors: Christopher HORVATH, Laszlo O.

Patent number: 9592154Abstract: An intraocular shunt can be manufactured using a system that includes a liquid bath and a wire, which is moved through the bath. When moved through the bath, the wire is coated with a material, such as gelatin. For example, the liquid bath can have a top layer, including water, and a bottom layer, including gelatin. The coated wire passes through an aperture formed in a plate component of the system. The gelatin can be dried on the wire in a humidity-controlled space, thereby forming the shunt.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2015Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: AqueSys, Inc.Inventors: Laszlo O.

Patent number: 8765210Abstract: The invention generally relates to systems and methods for making gelatin shunts. In certain embodiments, the invention provides methods that may involve moving a wire through a bath including a bottom layer of liquid gelatin and a top layer of water, thereby coating the wire with gelatin, moving the gelatin coated wire through an aperture, and drying the gelatin on the wire in a humidity controlled space, thereby manufacturing a gelatin shunt. In other embodiments, the invention provides systems that may include a motor, a wire operable coupled to the motor for movement of the wire, a temperature controllable bath, an aperture plate situated in a top portion of the bath, and an ultrasonic fogger, in which the system is configured such that the wire moves through the bath, through the aperture plate, and into the ultrasonic fogger.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2011Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: AqueSys, Inc.Inventors: Laszlo O.
