Abstract: Devices and methods that use returned power (RP) measurements during microwave energy delivery to perform one or more functions. For example, such microwave devices and systems with one or more features to measure the returned microwave power. One or more measurements of the returned microwave power may be used to obtain information about one or more of: antenna shape, system status and system performance. One or more measurements of the returned microwave power shaping elements may also be used to obtain information about one or more properties of the target material. Devices and methods for delivering microwave energy to a variety of target materials to achieve a variety of desired microwave effects.

Abstract: Tools, devices and systems that include a generally cylindrical, hollow shaft, and a suction canister are provided with advantageous interconnectivity features and functions that enable ease of manufacturing, lowered manufacturing costs, and allow for a platform of different shaft embodiments and canister embodiments that may be manufactured in different combinations to form an array of unique instruments. The interconnectivity may be irreversible or reversible, and the connection features maintain an air tight seal between the components. Tools, devices and systems are also provided that include collection functionality that can be employed to manipulate the volume of tissue collected while using a tissue collection feature/function. This may be undertaken to restrict total volume of the collection chamber in a way that allows for continuous suction flow rate to take place while collecting the desired amount of tissue.

Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention is directed to a device for fixation, stabilization, and securement of an intravascular cannula to tissue. The fixation device affixes relative to the cannula and cannulated tissue, allowing the needle to be inserted to a shallow depth and then rapidly secured with one motion, using just one hand. The device works to secure cannulae not only in small vessels but also in situations non-permissive to current state-of-the-art cannulas—such as on wet, adhesive-incompatible surfaces, in intra-operative applications, or when hands-free securement is required. The device can also be utilized to access the umbilical arteries and vein for purposes of placental perfusion for cord blood collection or to facilitate and extend the duration of conventional cord blood collection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to bodysuits for use as personal protective equipment comprising a torso portion comprising a front side; a back side including a sealable port through which a wearer can enter and exit the bodysuit when donning or doffing the bodysuit, respectively; a waist region; a neck opening; a pair of upper limb openings; and a pair of lower limb openings; two arm portions each extending from one of the upper limb opening; and two leg portions each extending from one of the lower limb opening and methods for the removal of such body suits.
