Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods to provide continuous and controlled release of therapeutic agent(s) during a procedure such as an interventional vascular procedure, e.g., to reduce acute and chronic complications and improve outcomes.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to hydrogels and their use for repairing or supplementing body tissue. The hydrogels are capable of safe injection into patients through fine gauge needles and are suitable for repairing, supplementing, or replacing the nucleus pulposus of an intervertebral disc. Methods of manufacturing and methods of using the hydrogels of the present disclosure to repair or replace tissues are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a load assist module for transferring articles onto a downstream conveyor. The load assist module may include a roller conveyor having one or more rollers that together define a conveyor plane, such that the one or more rollers may be actuatable to convey the article along the conveyor plane in a direction of a downstream conveyor. The load assist module may further include a pusher assembly positioned adjacent the conveyor plane. The pusher assembly may include a track-guided vertical popup with a base and a pop-up. The pop-up may be actuatable such that the pop-up extends through the conveyor plane to contact the article. The pusher assembly may drive the track-guided vertical popup toward the direction of the downstream conveyor such that the track-guided vertical popup pushes the article.

Abstract: Methods for detecting positional movement of orthopedic implants are described herein. In one embodiment, the method may include receiving a two-dimensional image defining an image plane, the two-dimensional image capturing a reference marker received within the bone and an orthopedic implant received within a bone, calculating a first angle of the reference marker relative to the image plane based on previously stored dimensions of the reference marker, calculating a second angle of the orthopedic implant relative to the image plane based on previously stored dimensions of the orthopedic implant, comparing the first angle to the second angle to calculate a current angle of rotation, and comparing the current angle of rotation to a previously calculated angle of rotation to detect rotation of the orthopedic implant relative to the bone.
