Publication number: 20240033398Abstract: A hemostatic device for promoting the clotting of blood includes a gauze substrate, a clay material disposed on the gauze substrate, and also a polyol such as glycerol or the like disposed on the gauze substrate to bind the clay material. When the device is used to treat a bleeding wound, at least a portion of the clay material comes into contact with blood emanating from the wound to cause the clotting. A bandage that can be applied to a bleeding wound to promote the clotting of blood includes a flexible substrate and a gauze substrate mounted thereon. The gauze substrate includes a clay material and a polyol. A hemostatic sponge also includes a gauze substrate and a dispersion of hemostatic material and a polyol on a first surface of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Raymond J. Huey, Denny Lo, Daniel J. Burns, Giacomo Basadonna, Francis X. Hursey

Patent number: 11832798Abstract: In some embodiments, endoscopy systems and/or methods of using endoscopy systems are described. In some embodiments, an endoscopy system comprises a shaft having an image sensor within a distal tip of the shaft. The shaft can have an expandable cuff disposed on an outer surface of the shaft. The expandable cuff can be moved from a contracted configuration to a deployed configuration. In the deployed configuration, an outer surface of the expandable cuff can inhibit, reduce, or prevent fluid (e.g., blood) flow in the vessel. Inhibiting or preventing the fluid flow can permit direct visualization of the interior of the vessel by the image sensor without interference from the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Enlightenvue, Inc.Inventors: Giacomo Basadonna, Alan Lucas

In some embodiments, the endoscopy systems are useful for orthopedic procedures. In some embodiments, the endoscopy systems are useful for arthroscopic procedures.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2018Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: EnlightenVue, INC.Inventors: Giacomo Basadonna, Alan Lucas

Publication number: 20220211249Abstract: A single-use electronic endoscope has a hub, a shaft extending from the hub, flexible or rigid as desired, and an expandable distal tip extending from the shaft. Within the distal tip, an image sensor provides a field of view external from the endoscope. Illuminating elements or light guides within the distal tip emit light to illuminate the field of view. The distal tip also has a variable profile working channel that permits tools to be passed from the hub and into the field of view. The expandable working channel changes cross-sectional shape from a generally noncircular shape to a shape to accommodate the cross-sectional shape of the tool when expanded.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2021Publication date: July 7, 2022Inventors: Robert C. Kucharski, Paul I. Bloom, Giacomo Basadonna, Larry O. Blankenship, Laura E. Bucknam
