Publication number: 20250345169Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a support device configured to provide tissue support, during implant-based breast surgery. Embodiments described herein include a matrix sheet disposed in a foldable sheet including one or more templates including at least one of a partial support template and a full support template. The partial support template is configured for use in shaping the matrix sheet into a support device for partial coverage for a breast prosthesis. The full support template is configured for use in shaping the matrix sheet into a support device for full coverage for a breast prosthesis. In some embodiments, the support device is a bioabsorbable mesh substrate, a bioabsorbable polymer coating, and one or more active pharmaceutical agents for delivery at the surgical site. The support device may be provided in various shapes for coverage of the breast prosthesis or provided with templates for various coverage of the breast prosthesis.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2025Publication date: November 13, 2025Inventors: Sarah M. WORRELL, Hunter R. MOYER, Kaitlyn M. ROTH, Eric J. KRAUSE, Daniel JOHNSON, John K. SWAIN, Dane D. HART

Publication number: 20210299348Abstract: Infusion system configurations and assemblies facilitate routing of infusion circuit tubing lines. Tubing lines are routed into and out from compartments of a shielding assembly for the infusion system, at locations which prevent kinking and/or crushing of the lines, and/or provide for ease in assembling the circuit. A plurality of the lines may be held together by a support frame to form a disposable infusion circuit subassembly, that can further facilitate routing of the lines.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Inventors: Charles R. Quirico, Ernest Balestracci, Rolf E. Swenson, Daniel Darst, Eric J. Krause, Vishal N. Lokhande, Jacob S. Childs

Patent number: 10991474Abstract: A shielding assembly for an infusion system includes a plurality of compartments and a door for each compartment, and provides a radioactive radiation barrier for the compartments. One of the compartments contains a radioisotope generator of the infusion system and another of the compartments may contain a waste bottle of the infusion system. An opening into each of the generator and waste bottle compartments may be oriented upward, and the opening into the latter may be at a higher elevation than the opening into the former, for example, to facilitate independent removal and replacement of each. A door of at least one of the compartments, other than the generator compartment, when closed, may prevent the door of the generator compartment from being opened. A cabinet structure for the infusion system may enclose the shielding assembly and secure the generator.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Bracco Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Charles R. Quirico, Ernest Balestracci, Daniel D. Darst, Eric J. Krause, Vishal N. Lokhande, Jacob S. Childs, Peter B. Madson, Daniel V. Clements

Publication number: 20160010980Abstract: A laser measurement system operates to measure portions of a vehicle, such as a vehicle frame. The measurements are used, for example, to determine if the portions of the vehicle are bent or damaged. The measurement system includes a laser scanner and at least one target assembly that can be connected to a point of the vehicle. The laser scanner emits a laser beam that is detected by the target. Time and laser position information detected by the target are used to determine the location of the target, as well as the location of the point of the vehicle. The location of the point is then compared to an original location of the point to determine if damage has occurred.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2015Publication date: January 14, 2016Inventors: Robin L. Knoke, Matt J. Brunk, Mark W. Schulz, Eric J. Krause, Lee G. Macklem, William M. Roth, Daniel Darst

Patent number: 9114203Abstract: Shielding assemblies for systems that generate and infuse radiopharmaceuticals. The shielding assemblies include a sidewall that defines several compartments and provides a radiation barrier for the compartments and provides a passageway sized to accommodate routing of an eluate line from a radioisotope generator. One compartment is sized to contain the radioisotope generator. A second compartment is sized to hold a portion of an infusion circuit that may be an extension of the eluate line and may include a waste line and a patient line.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2010Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Bracco Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Charles R.
