  • Publication number: 20240032961
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling clinical soil are provided. A system includes a device cover formed of a flexible polymer sheet defining an interior volume for a skin grafting device and includes at least a first opening configured to receive a portion of the skin grafting device. The system further includes a cincture having a gasket configured to be affixed to a perimeter of the first opening of the device cover and to secure the device cover about the first opening to the skin grafting device to inhibit fluid ingress into the interior volume of the device cover during a skin grafting process performed using the skin grafting device.

  • Publication number: 20220280180
    Abstract: A skin grafting system having a handheld device, a cartridge, and a device shield. The handheld device includes a device housing forming an interior that secures a drive system. The cartridge includes a plurality of hollow microneedles surrounded by a peripheral housing and is configured to be operated by the drive system to extend and retract past the peripheral housing into a subject to harvest tissue during a skin grafting process. The device shield is formed of a polymer extending from an interior opening to an exterior edge, the interior opening sized to extend about the peripheral housing to position the exterior edge over the device housing to control ingress of fluids into the interior of the device housing from fluid about the peripheral housing of the cartridge during the skin grafting process performed using the skin grafting system.

  • Patent number: 8271442
    Abstract: Tools and techniques are described for formats for database template files shared between client and server environments. Systems provided by these tools may include client subsystems that include client-side database management applications that instantiate tables within a database, and instantiate client-specific database template files corresponding respectively to the tables. These database management applications may also instantiate server-specific database template files that correspond to the client-specific template files, and may enable servers to access the server-specific template file. These systems may also include server subsystems that further include server-side database management services that access the server-specific template files, and instantiate server-side template files based thereon. In turn, the database management services may create database applications from the server-side template files.
