Abstract: A drainage system includes a fluid-receiving container that includes an inlet and a drainage conduit communicatively coupled to the inlet of the fluid-receiving container. A first one-way valve is along the drainage conduit that provides a one-way fluid flow direction through the drainage conduit into the fluid-receiving volume. A displacement body is out-of-line with the drainage conduit and fluidly connected to the drainage conduit. The displacement body is configured to be actuated and released to provide a negative pressure to a fluid-receiving passageway through the drainage conduit. Actuation of the displacement body displaces air within the fluid-receiving passageway, the air being forced into the fluid-receiving volume by a second one-way valve and inhibited from escaping the fluid-receiving volume by the first one-way valve.

Abstract: A drainage system for draining bodily fluid includes a fluid-receiving body having a fluid-receiving chamber located therein that receives a bodily fluid through an inlet. An actuation device includes a housing with a container-receiving chamber that is sized and configured to receive a pre-evacuated container therein. The actuation device includes an actuation member that, upon actuation, moves either the pre-evacuated container or a piercing element toward the other of the pre-evacuated container or piercing element such that the piercing element pierces a seal of the pre-evacuated container providing communication of a negative pressure inside the pre-evacuated container to a fluid-receiving passageway to draw bodily fluid into the fluid-receiving passageway and toward the fluid-receiving body.

Abstract: A drainage catheter includes an elongated tubular body that includes a flexible distal portion and a proximal portion. A locking hub assembly includes a connecting member and an actuation member that is movably connected to the connecting member such that one or both of the actuation member and the connecting member move relative to the other of the actuation member and the connecting member. A tensioning suture extends through a drainage lumen of the tubular body and is connected to the flexible distal portion. Opposite ends of the tensioning suture are connected to the actuation member such that movement of the one or both of the actuation member and the connecting member toward the other of the actuation member and the connecting member from an unlocked configuration to a locked configuration draws the opposite ends proximally relative to the flexible distal portion thereby causing the flexible distal end to move from a loosely curled configuration to a tightly curled configuration.

Abstract: A vertebral augmentation system and methods for vertebral augmentation and/or fusion using same are provided. In certain embodiments, a pre-curved stylet or needle with an overlying delivery tube may be used to target a site within a bone structure, facilitating direction thereto of an expandable member useful for creating a cavity that may receive curable material to restore bone height, to reinforce the bone structure, and/or to fuse two, three, or more adjacent vertebrae. An expandable member such as, for example, a balloon can be used to create a plurality of voids by displacing bone material, where the voids can be filled with curable material to augment the vertebrae and intervening space can be filled to fuse those adjacent vertebrae.

Abstract: An expandable member bone augmentation system and single-access-point methods for bone augmentation using same are provided. In certain embodiments, a pre-curved stylet with an overlying delivery tube may be used to target an approximately centered target site within a bone structure, facilitating direction thereto of an expandable member useful for creating a cavity that may receive curable material to restore bone height and/or to reinforce the bone structure. An expandable member such as, for example, a balloon can be used to create a plurality of voids by displacing bone material, where the voids can be filled with curable material to augment the bone.
