Abstract: A light curing dental system comprising a light emitting tray that precisely distributes an optimal amount of curing light energy to internal, external and extra oral portions of the dental arch to cure a dental material. The light curing dental system generally includes a light source, a light emitting dental tray, an activation module and a photocurable dental material.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed relating to extracorporeal fetal care. A fetal chamber assembly configured to enclose and support a fetus therein includes a base configured to receive the fetus therein; a lid configured to removably contact the base to form a liquid-tight seal between the lid and the base; a growth chamber defined between the base and the lid, the growth chamber being configured to receive the fetus therein; and a cannulation chamber in fluid communication with the growth chamber, the cannulation chamber being configured to receive therein a cannulated umbilical cord of the fetus. The growth chamber is configured to be adjusted in size to accommodate the fetus during gestation based on the size of the fetus, and the fetal chamber assembly is configured to receive a liquid from a liquid source.

Abstract: A cannula insertion system for cannulating a blood vessel includes a cannula system having a cannula that defines a cannula lumen and has a distal and proximal end. The system includes a cannula insertion device for coupling with the system that includes a dilator having a dilator body and a dilator lumen; a needle having a needle body and a needle lumen, the needle being translatable within the dilator lumen along a first direction; a movable dilator actuator configured to cause the dilator to move along the first direction; a movable needle actuator configured to cause movement of the needle along the first direction; and a housing defining housing recess. The housing recess is configured to receive the cannula system, the dilator, and the needle. The needle and the dilator are configured to be moved within the cannula lumen along the first direction.

Abstract: An injector includes a push rod, a magazine tube, a gate, a cannula and an actuator. The magazine tube has a lumen extending from an inlet to an outlet thereof. The magazine tube slidingly receives at least one implant therein. The gate has a closed configuration in which it covers the outlet of the magazine tube and an open configuration in which it does not cover the outlet of the magazine tube. The cannula has a distal end configured to be inserted into an eye. A lumen of the cannula is in fluid communication with the lumen of the magazine tube when the gate is in the open configuration. Actuation of the actuator moves the gate from the closed configuration to the open configuration and causes translation of the pushrod through the magazine tube and the cannula.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing surgical access to a body cavity of a living animal through an access port inserted in a wall of the body cavity is disclosed. The apparatus includes a collapsible volume having an opening for sealingly receiving a surgical apparatus. The apparatus also includes an access coupler disposed at a distal end of the collapsible volume, the access coupler being operably configured to sealingly couple to an opening in the access port placing the collapsible volume in fluid communication with the body cavity. The collapsible volume is operably configured to collapse to permit the surgical apparatus to be inserted through the access coupler into the body cavity.
