  • Methods and devices for improving the appearance of tissue
    Patent number: 8652123
    Abstract: Cellulite is treated by severing septae, which interconnects the skin with the underlying muscle. The septae may be severed in connection with a liposuction procedure or independent of a liposuction procedure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 2, 2008
    Date of Patent: February 18, 2014
    Inventors: Geoffrey C. Gurtner, Kenneth N. Horne, Drew A. Hoffmann, Gordon Saul
  • Compositions and methods for joining non-conjoined lumens
    Patent number: 8608760
    Abstract: Disclosed are compositions, methods, and kits for joining together non-conjoined lumens in a patient's body including vascular lumens. More particularly, in various aspects, this invention provides compositions, methods, and kits for joining such non-conjoined lumens, including small lumens typically requiring microsurgical technique.
    Type: Grant

  • Microparticle formulations for sustained-release of bioactive compounds
    Publication number: 20050214227
    Abstract: A composition is provided for administration to a subject by way of a needleless syringe. The composition is formed from particles having a mean mass aerodynamic diameter of from 1 to 250 microns, and an envelope density of from 0.1 to 25 g/cm3, where the particles include a biologically active agent and a sustained-release material that controls release of the active agent to a subject following administration of the composition thereto. Methods for delivering a biologically active agent to a subject are also provided.
