Abstract: A wound closure system includes a porous mesh, a first pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) applied to a top surface of the porous mesh, a removable first liner covering the first PSA, a second PSA applied to a bottom surface of the porous mesh, and a removable second liner covering the second PSA. The second PSA is stronger or denser than the first PSA. A method of using the wound closure system includes removing the second liner to expose the second PSA, pressing the second PSA against skin to approximate wound edges, removing the first liner to expose the first PSA, and pressing a therapeutic device against the first PSA to secure the therapeutic device to the porous mesh. A liquid adhesive is applied over the porous mesh and the therapeutic device, and then cured for binding the porous mesh to skin and binding the therapeutic device to the porous mesh.

Abstract: The present disclosure is also directed to a system for managing inventory within a dispenser that is configured to maintain a known inventory and is configured to transmit inventory values from the dispenser so that other users can review the inventory values. Also, the dispenser is configured to be accessed by users locally and through an internet connection so that the inventory can be reviewed.

Abstract: A guide sheath includes ports at a handle portion through which flexible endoscopic tools may be advanced until they emerge from corresponding ports at a distal tip of the guide sheath. The guide sheath includes a position sensor at its distal tip that is compatible with an image guided surgery (IGS) system, such that a virtual view of the distal tip's position relative to a surgical site may be presented by the IGS system. The virtual view may assist a surgeon in precisely positioning the distal tip at the surgical site, and then one or more flexible endoscopic tools may be advanced the length of the guide sheath for use at the surgical site. The guide sheath may also include an articulating portion at the distal tip that may be deflected in one or more directions in order to provide additional control over placement within the surgical site.
