Abstract: An implantable medical device comprising a first frame component. The first frame component including a first set of elongate elements configured to conform to an anatomy of a patient. The implantable medical device also comprising a second frame component including a second set of elongate elements configured to conform to an anatomy of a patient. The first frame component and the second frame component being discrete and separate from one another. The implantable medical device also comprising a conduit portion arranged between the first frame component and the second frame component. The conduit portion including a membrane connecting the first frame component and the second frame component.

Abstract: A clamping mechanism for a surgical instrument and related methods are disclosed. Upper and lower elongated members are configured to engage each other at a first interlock and a second interlock, the first interlock distal of the second interlock. The clamping mechanism is movable between a first configuration, a second configuration, and a third configuration. In the first configuration, the elongated members are approximated towards each other and the first and second interlocks are not engaged. In the second configuration, the distal portion of the elongated members are moved away from each other, the first interlock is engaged, and the second interlock is not engaged. In the third configuration, the distal portions of the elongated members are moved away from each other relatively, the proximal portions of the elongated members are moved away from each other relatively, the first interlock is engaged, and the second interlock is engaged.

Abstract: A rotatable scalpet for rotational fractional resection, and method of manufacturing same, is provided. In an embodiment, a rotatable scalpet includes a hollow tube extending along a longitudinal axis and including an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface forming a passageway between a first end and a second end of the hollow tube, a cutting edge located at the first end of the hollow tube, the cutting edge configured to cut a patient's tissue when the hollow tube is rotated around the longitudinal axis, and a gear molding feature formed into the outer surface of the hollow tube, the gear molding feature enabling a gear to be molded around at least a portion of the hollow tube.
