Abstract: A system for delivering an injection of a fluid into a void within a subject is disclosed. A barrel extends from a first end to a second end and forms a lumen extending from the first end to the second end. A plug and a floating seal are arranged within the lumen. A hollow needle includes a distal end with an opening for fluid to flow from the lumen. The plug, the barrel and the floating seal include material and dimensions selected based on a threshold flowrate for a fluid arranged within the lumen to: overcome a force opposed to a force being applied to the fluid in the lumen to move the floating seal and the hollow needle into a tissue of the subject, and succumb to the opposing force to displace the fluid through the opening into the void.

Abstract: Applicator for depositing a layer of adhesive or sealant composition on a target site of a biological and/or prosthetic tissue, the applicator including a body having an application face intended to be positioned facing the biological and/or prosthetic tissue, and having a first outlet opening provided in the application face, the first outlet opening being shaped as a slot for allowing the adhesive or sealant composition to flow out of the applicator and to form the layer of adhesive or sealant composition, a second inlet opening provided in the application face, adjacent the first outlet opening, for allowing pollutants or undesirable elements to be removed from the target site while depositing the layer of adhesive or sealant composition, wherein the first outlet opening has a first section and the second inlet opening has a second section, the second section being greater than the first section.

Abstract: A 3D printing resin composition for a biomaterial and method for 3D printing the composition are disclosed. The composition comprises: (i) a pre-polymer comprising a polymeric unit of the general formula (-A-B-)n, wherein A represents a substituted or un-substituted ester, B represents a substituted or un-substituted acid ester comprising at least two acid ester functionalities, and n represents an integer greater than 1, (ii) at least one photo-initiator, and (iii) at least one light blocker.
