Abstract: A catheter interface protection device can include a shield. The shield can include an open bottom, a transparent upper surface, sidewalls, and a cavity at least partially defined by the bottom, the upper surface, and the sidewalls. The device can include a vent. The device can include a clip, a tether, and a latch. A non-therapeutic method of protecting a catheter interface can include extending a catheter in the subject through a slot in a catheter interface protection device, wrapping the catheter at least partially around a clip of the catheter interface protection device, and securing a latch of the catheter interface protection device around the clip. A device for positioning a subject in a prone position can include a padded area including an opening configured to accommodate a catheter interface protection device.

Abstract: Aortic repair devices and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. An aortic repair device configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include a base member configured to be implanted in an aorta proximate to a diseased portion of the aorta, such as an aneurysm or dissection near the aortic arch. The base member can direct blood flow past the diseased portion of the aorta to perfuse a portion of the aorta distal of the diseased portion. The aortic repair device can further include a leg member configured to be coupled to the base member. The leg member can provide a flow path from the base member to a branch vessel.

Abstract: A tool for manipulating a catheter interface protection device includes a base, a first arm extending from the base, and a second arm extending from the base. The first arm includes an outwardly projecting first hook configured to engage a first vent of a catheter interface protection device. The second arm includes an outwardly projecting second hook configured to engage a second vent of the catheter interface protection device. A method of manipulating a catheter interface protection device includes positioning the base around the catheter interface protection device so that the first arm is on a first side of a slot of the catheter interface protection device and the second arm on a second side of the slot of the catheter interface protection device opposite the first side, and bending the catheter interface protection device from the slot towards and around the first hook to create an opening.

Abstract: A suturing device is provided that includes a suture positioning assembly that is slidably attachable to a sheath, a housing of the assembly includes a nose, a primary suture with connectors, an end effector, and an end effector actuator, an intravascular tip with a blood contact indicator on the nose, a slide limiter, and a fascia receiving surface, the intravascular tip is configured for insertion into the artery when disposed beneath a fascial layer, the fascia receiving surface is configured for accepting a perimeter edge of a dilated hole of the fascial layer, the housing nose further includes an intermediary suture having intermediary suture connectors, the primary suture connecters are configured for connection to the intermediary suture connectors, the end effector actuator is disposed to operate the end effector to condition the facial layer hole in a position for suturing by the intermediary suture connected to the primary suture.
