Abstract: The present inventions provide a portable, reliable open and go system for training, proctoring and procedure support during medical interventions, procedures and all manner of diagnostics extending access to care to those unable to reach other facilities, among other things. The Envisimed™ brand of system brings near zero latency Cross Reality (X-Reality/XR) technology to medical procedure support and remote collaboration, extending the reach of global health-care equity past the institutional settings that are not available to all.

Abstract: An apparatus for assisting with wound closure includes oppositely disposed, and oppositely facing, proximal and distal surfaces separated by an apparatus body. The distal surface is configured for selective attachment to a patient tissue surface. At least one of the proximal surface, the distal surface, and the apparatus body is made substantially from an polymeric material. The polymeric material includes a structurally incorporated ability to self-repair damage caused by mechanical usage over time. A method of assisting with wound closure is also provided.
