  • Publication number: 20240148408
    Abstract: A nasal implant delivery tool includes an inner handle, an outer handle, a needle, and a push rod. The inner handle includes a loading chamber configured to receive a nasal implant. The outer handle is configured to move axially relative to the inner handle. The needle extends distally from the inner handle and has a central lumen and a distal opening. The push rod is configured to move the nasal implant from the loading chamber, through the central lumen, and out the distal opening of the needle. The push rod is coupled to the outer handle such that the push rod moves axially relative to the inner handle when the outer handle is moved axially relative to the inner handle. Also described herein are nasal implant guides and methods of using nasal implant delivery tools and nasal implant guides.

  • Publication number: 20230355443
    Abstract: Delivering an anesthetizing solution into the ear canal. One example embodiment is a method of treatment, the method comprising: adhering a pad to a patient, the adhering on the patients face proximate to a tragus of the patient, and the pad being a member of an earset assembly; inserting an earset into an ear canal of the patient; locking relative orientations of the earset and pad by way of a connection assembly, the locking in place to hold the earset in the ear canal; filling the ear canal with therapeutic fluid; and performing iontophoresis with the therapeutic fluid by way of an electrode of the earset.

  • Publication number: 20210275290
    Abstract: Soft suture staple system with tethered anchoring mechanisms are described herein. A tissue anchor assembly may generally comprise an insertion device having a first and second delivery cannula where a first tip and a second tip may each be removably positioned within a respective terminal opening of a delivery cannula. A flexible staple having a body portion, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion may have its leg portions configured to fold proximally within a respective delivery cannula. A tensioning suture may pass through the flexible staple such that application of a tensioning force upon a proximal portion of the tensioning suture may urge the first leg and second leg to each reconfigure into a collapsed, anchoring configuration.

  • Publication number: 20210205532
    Abstract: Devices and methods for tissue transfer are described where a cannula may be inserted into the breast of a subject at one of several points of entry. Insertion of the cannula into the breast may be accomplished by using a guidance system to distinguish between tissue types. Once desirably positioned, the cannula may be withdrawn from the breast while automatically (or manually) injecting the fat in multiple deposits of adipose tissue or fat such that the deposited fat remains within the tract formed by the withdrawn cannula. Multiple tracts of the deposited fat may be injected within the breast until the breast has been desirably remodeled and/or augmented.
