Abstract: A tissue dissecting board assembly for use in tissue restoration and reconstruction surgeries. The assembly is constructed of an optically clear polymeric dissecting board having a plurality of cooperating cavities for holding chemical solutions and compositions required for tissue restoration and reconstruction surgeries. An illumination source is further incorporated in the dissecting board structure to provide an illuminated working area.

Abstract: A sensing probe assembly and method for locating a magnetic field emitted by an implanted medical device. The assembly has a housing containing a magnetic field sensor circuit having an indicator light and a magnetic switch. The assembly further has a structure for marking the location of the magnetic field. The method utilizes a marking system whereby at least four points forming at least two perpendicularly intersecting line segments are located and marked above the magnetic field. The intersection is then used as a reference point for performing a medical procedure on the implanted medical device.

Abstract: A magnetic injection port assembly for a tissue expander system or similar inflatable medical device. The injection port assembly includes an injection port body having a cavity, a needle guard assembly, and a magnetic material therein. The needle guard assembly is positioned to prevent a hypodermic needle from passing through the medical device or interfering with the magnetic material. The magnetic material is affixed to the injection port body outside the cavity and the needle guard assembly. The magnetic material is spatially aligned with the region of the body into which the needle should be inserted so that this region may be located by locating the magnet with an external, non-invasive magnetic detection device.
