  • Publication number: 20240374280
    Abstract: An ultrasonic instrument includes a housing, an ultrasonic transducer support by the housing, and an integrated usage indicator. The housing is configured to removably connect to a shaft assembly. The ultrasonic transducer is configured to be acoustically connected to a waveguide and operated a predetermined number of use cycles. The integrated usage indicator is operatively connected to the housing and includes a used state indicator. The used state indicator is configured to indicate to a clinician in a used state when the ultrasonic transducer has been operated at least the predetermined number of use cycles for limiting usage of the ultrasonic transducer to the predetermined number of use cycles.

  • Publication number: 20240342118
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods of providing an effective amount of an N-acetylcysteine amide (NACA) or diNACA sufficient to increase the concentration of NACA or diNACA in the affected tissue to biochemically reduce oxidative stress-related damage to tissue; utilizing NACA or diNACA that comprises at least one of impurities B1 or B2, which are indicative of NACA or diNACA manufactured by a process comprising: contacting cystine with methanol and a chlorinating reagent to form an organic solution containing cystine dimethylester dihydrochloride and optionally isolating and drying the cystine dimethylester dihydrochloride; combining the dried or undried cystine dimethylester dihydrochloride with triethylamine, acetic anhydride, and acetonitrile to form di-N-acetylcystine dimethylester; mixing the di-N-acetylcystine dimethylester with ammonium hydroxide to form di-N-acetylcystine amide (diNACA or NPI-002); and reducing the di-N-acetylcystine amide to N-acetylcysteine, NACA or NPI-001 with a reducin
