The suture anchoring device may include a body that is inserted into the bone tissue, a suture exchange fitting situation within a passage formed within the body, and one or more pre-loaded sutures looped through the suture exchange fitting and projecting proximally from a proximal opening formed in the body. Surgical kits and surgical methods for performing various repair procedures using one or more suture anchoring device are also disclosed.

Abstract: A catheter for removing tissue from a body lumen and for providing information relating to the body lumen. The catheter includes a tissue cutting element that rotates relative to the catheter body and is mounted to the drive shaft for imparting rotation to the tissue cutting element. An energy emitting element of the catheter rotates relative to the catheter body and is rotatable independently of the tissue cutting element.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for treating a thrombosis. In some embodiments, an apparatus may include a sleeve defining a first lumen, and an aspiration catheter defining a second lumen, the aspiration catheter slidably disposed within the first lumen. The aspiration catheter may include a proximal end coupleable to a vacuum source configured to apply a vacuum pressure within the second lumen to draw a thrombus into the second lumen, and an expandable tip configured to transition between a retracted configuration in which the expandable tip is constrained within the sleeve and an expanded configuration in which at least a portion of the expandable tip is disposed distal to the sleeve. The expandable tip in the expanded configuration can have a funnel-shaped profile that gradually increases in diameter from a proximal end of the expandable tip to a distal end of the expandable tip.

Abstract: The subject invention provides a snowboard that is propelled over the snow by a battery powered hub motor. The preferred embodiments include a pair of elastic arms mounted in the tails section of the snowboard, on which specialized snow paddles are fitted to a hub motor designed for various snow conditions. The paddle wheel attaches to the elastic arms through axle locking plates transferring the trust provided by the hub motor to the snowboard.

Abstract: A method of removing material from a blood flow lumen includes providing a device having a cutting element and an opening, the cutting element being movable relative to the opening. The method then includes advancing the device through a patient's vascular system to the blood flow lumen. Finally, the method involves moving the cutting element and the opening relative to the blood flow lumen so that a continuous piece of material is severed by the cutting element and directed into the opening as the cutting element and opening move through the blood flow lumen, the continuous piece of severed material being directed into the device for removal from the patient. The method may include providing a device having a rotatable cutter that, in some embodiments, is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device, is movable, has retracted and deployed positions, or any combination thereof.
