Abstract: A delivery device for controllably delivering multiple implants (e.g., intravascular implants) is described herein. The delivery device may include a lockout mechanism to prevent against inadvertent implant deployment prior to initial use. The delivery device may also include a re-sheath mechanism to allow for re-sheathing of an inner core assembly prior to removal of the delivery device from an initial deployment site. The delivery device may also further include a mechanism configured to prevent against re-sheathing of a partially-deployed implant.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for cleaning and/or drying a subject's ears and/or nose may include an inverting tubular swab region. These apparatuses may remove debris, such as ear wax & skin debris from the ear canal. These apparatuses are safer than traditional cotton swab. Also described herein are apparatuses configured for use in the nose, which may remove mucus (e.g., snot) from the nasal and sinus regions. These apparatuses may be configured for use with infants and toddlers as an alternative to air aspiration bulb/tool. Also described herein are methods of using any of these apparatuses as well as methods of making and packaging them.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a surgical system for a valve in an aorta. The surgical system is configured to serve as a temporary valve and/or filter to facilitate maintenance of proper blood flow while also capturing debris of an excised leaflet as needed.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a surgical system for an aortic or mitral valve in a heart. The surgical system is configured to pierce, seize, and/or cut a leaflet, and/or facilitate removal of an excised portion of a leaflet.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for removing material (e.g., clot) from within a body, including inverting thrombectomy apparatuses. These methods and apparatuses may include methods and apparatuses for reusing portion of the devices, method and apparatuses for loading and reloading the inverting thrombectomy apparatuses, and methods and apparatuses for improving and enhancing the ability of the inverting thrombectomy apparatuses to remove clot. In particular, described herein are expandable scraper devices that may be used in conjunction with the inverting thrombectomy apparatuses descried herein, or on their own.

Abstract: A pipe retrieval machine includes a frame defining a decoupling region and a travel axis and a transporting mechanism supported on the frame. The transporting mechanism has a first gripping structure adjacent an infeed end of the machine and a second gripping structure adjacent an outfeed end of the machine. The decoupling region is between the first and second gripping structures. The machine has a drive system to move the first and second gripping structures at a steady state speed to direct a pipe along the travel axis. The pipe retrieval machine includes one or more safety features to stop the drive system either automatically or through manual action, one or more safety features to inhibit or prevent damage to components of the decoupling region in the event of a malfunction, or both. Methods of operating a pipe retrieval machine include any of the operation procedures, method steps, safety features, and/or functions as described and in any combination.

Abstract: A range limiter to secure or position a adjustable height, foldable table at a particular height. A two-way spring-loaded plunger is positioned at the end of a leg for engagement with a stop component. The stop component is affixed to the bottom of the table top. When the leg is in a storage position, the plunger is pushed outward preventing the table leg from opening too far. The two springs have different forces or strengths associated with them. An extension section of the leg pushes against a heavy spring when the table is collapsed, thereby pushing the plunger outward. A light spring keeps the plunger withdrawn when the leg is extended.

Abstract: A collapsible, adjustable height table with a compact folded configuration and a range limiter to secure selected table heights.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for biopsying body vessels having small lumen, such as Fallopian tubes. In particular, described herein are apparatuses (e.g., systems and devices) and methods that include an outer member having a stepped distal end region, a flexible inner shaft, and a biopsy collector, and methods of using them.

Abstract: A pipe retrieval machine has a frame defining a decoupling region and a travel axis and a transporting mechanism having a first gripping structure adjacent an infeed end of the machine and a second gripping structure adjacent an outfeed end of the machine. The decoupling region is disposed between the first and second gripping structures. A drive system is configured to move the first and second gripping structures at a steady state speed to direct the pipe along the travel axis. A decoupling device in the decoupling region has a decoupler that is automatically operable to engage a locking part of the coupling. The decoupling device is configured to selectively and automatically stop the pipe relative to the decoupling device, to disassemble at least one pipe section from the pipe, to move the detached pipe section from the machine, and to advance the remaining pipe for disassembly.
