Abstract: Provided herein is a method, apparatus, and system for precise dissection of soft tissue, and more particularly, to the use of a hand-worn device to facilitate dissection while providing tactile feedback to a wearer. Methods include receiving an indication of resistance between at least two leads; establishing a mode of operation based on the indication of resistance; receiving an indication of activation; and providing a current at a voltage and duty cycle based on the mode of operation established to at least one of the at least two leads for electrosurgery. The at least two leads of some embodiments include two electrosurgical devices, where receiving an indication of resistance between the two electrosurgical devices includes receiving an indication of infinite resistance between the two electrosurgical devices, and where the mode of operation is established as bipolar dissection between the two electrosurgical devices.

Abstract: Provided herein is a method, apparatus, and system for the removal of benign and malignant lesions, and more particularly, to the use of image analysis and three-dimensional modeling for the excision of skin-based, subcutaneous, or deep lesions with a precise and reproducible margin of tissue around the lesion. Methods include: obtaining images of a tumor within a patient; determining a size and shape of a tissue mass to be resected including the tumor based on the images; generating a three-dimensional model of a resection tool for resecting the tissue mass to be resected based on the size and shape of the tissue mass as well as nearby vital structures and anatomic landmarks; and providing for three-dimensional manufacture of the resection tool.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and apparatus for constructing tissue replacements, such as bone replacements that may be used to repair damaged or missing segments of bone, such as may occur in wound repair or as a repair of a congenital anomaly. These methods involve a three-dimensional (3D) cell growth medium made from a yield stress material that allows cells and structures to be easily deposited and positioned.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an integrated assay system that can be used, for example, to monitor and screen cells in 3D culture. This system involves a 3D cell growth medium made from a yield stress material that allows cells to be deposited, e.g. by 3D printing, samples to be taken, and the extracellular environment manipulated.
