  • Publication number: 20190358412
    Abstract: Devices and methods for tissue transfer are described where a cannula may be inserted into the breast of a subject at one of several points of entry. Insertion of the cannula into the breast may be accomplished by using a guidance system to distinguish between tissue types. Once desirably positioned, the cannula may be withdrawn from the breast while automatically (or manually) injecting the fat in multiple deposits of adipose tissue or fat such that the deposited fat remains within the tract formed by the withdrawn cannula. Multiple tracts of the deposited fat may be injected within the breast until the breast has been desirably remodeled and/or augmented.

  • Publication number: 20190350588
    Abstract: The invention provides improved medical devices, therapeutic treatment systems, and treatment methods for treatment of the lung. The invention includes methods, systems, and devices for applying a first lung volume reduction action to the functionally impaired lung tissue so as to reduce its volume to less than a pre-treatment volume; and applying a pro-inflammatory stimulus to the functionally impaired lung tissue having reduced volume, that stimulus being sufficient to induce fibrosis in the functionally impaired lung tissue. The pro-inflammatory stimulus may be separate and additional to that of the lung volume reduction action.

  • Publication number: 20150366551
    Abstract: Patient-supported ophthalmic platforms for use in ophthalmic procedures are described. The platform is supported at least in part upon a patient's face where the platform is configured to cover at least one or both eyes and further includes a conformable portion which rests upon a remainder of the patient's face. The platform may also integrate rests for the hands of the surgeon and may optionally integrate an instrument rest for allowing ready access of one or more surgical instruments to the surgeon. One or more corresponding eyelid speculums may also be integrated with the surgical platform eliminating the need for a separate speculum. An irrigation fluid trough may also be integrated with the surgical platform for collecting and diverting an irrigating fluid and the platform may optionally be used in combination with an oxygen delivery mask or nasal cannula.
