  • Publication number: 20250025336
    Abstract: A device configured to guide creation of an incision in a sclera of an eye including an elongate handle and a footplate having a plurality of struts defining a central opening extending between an upper surface and a lower surface of the footplate. A first strut of the plurality of struts has a proximal-facing blade guide surface that is straight and extends between two lateral struts of the plurality of struts. A second strut of the plurality of struts has a proximal-facing limbal guide surface that is curved. The blade guide surface is separated a distance from the limbal guide surface to identify a target location for creating an incision relative to a limbus of the eye. The blade guide surface has a length between the two lateral struts that limits a length of the incision that can be created using a cutting blade inserted through the central opening.

  • Publication number: 20240139022
    Abstract: A personalized ostomy appliance, including a baseplate, leveraging three-dimensional (ā€œ3Dā€) scanning, computer-aided design modeling, and 3D printing technology, to empower patients to improve quality of life and decrease ostomy complications. In embodiments, the process uses 3D scanning technology to create a raw peristomal mesh. In embodiments, this mesh is filtered using a smoothing and splicing algorithm with patient-specified preference variables. In embodiments, this personalized filtered mesh is then used in a subtractive manufacturing process, including applying a laser cutter or blade press, to alter an ostomy baseplate. The personalized filtered mesh can also used to 3D print a personalized ostomy template that improves fit of the baseplate using a retraction method. This process can be applied to wound care with negative pressure vacuum therapy and fistula management systems wherein a vacuum or pouch baseplate is generated for improved fit and healing.
