Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to systems for generating suspensions/mixtures of therapeutic radioactive microspheres and carrier fluid. In an embodiment, a cancer therapy suspension generating system is included having a fluid container defining an interior volume, a fluid outlet out of the interior volume, an output line, and a coiled, looped, and/or folded fluid line. A first valve can be positioned between the fluid outlet and the fluid line while a second valve can be positioned between the fluid line and a distal portion of the output line. A pump can be included that pulls fluid out of the interior volume of the fluid container through the fluid outlet and first portion of the outlet line into the fluid line. Further, the pump pushes fluid out of the fluid line and into the second portion of the output line and onto a fluid delivery catheter. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to cancer therapy delivery systems including components thereof such as therapeutic mixture/suspension generating systems. In an embodiment, a cancer therapy suspension generating system is included having a fluid container defining an interior volume with a container sealing member sealing off an open end of the interior volume. A magnetic rotation member can be disposed within the interior volume and can be configured to rotate under the influence of a magnetic field. The magnetic rotation member can include a central hub, opposed arms that extend outward from the central hub, end lobes attached to ends of the opposed arms, and magnets disposed on or within the end lobes. The system can also include a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The system can also include a pump, wherein the pump pulls fluid out of the interior volume of the fluid container through the fluid outlet.

Abstract: An apparatus for cooling an ablation probe includes a cassette receptacle configured to accept a cassette including a supply tube for supplying a coolant to the ablation probe. The apparatus also includes a pump head movably positioned proximate the cassette receptacle. The pump head is configured to move between a loading position and an operating position. The pump head includes one or more rollers configured to engage the supply tube of the cassette when the pump head is in the operating position. The apparatus also includes an actuator coupled to the pump head. The actuator is configured to move the pump head between the loading position and the operating position.

Abstract: A fiber producing apparatus and method for producing fibers having at least two different dimensions or characteristics. The apparatus cuts fibers of varying length, thickness, and width by varying a cutting stroke length, using a cutting plate having different cutting blades, and applying varying pressure on a material during the cutting process. The fibers of the present invention are moldable and can be used as an implant having a structure that mimics native or natural bones. The ability to mimic natural bone improves cellular infiltration and bone growth.
