  • Preventing fog on a medical device viewport
    Patent number: 11974728
    Abstract: Provided are methods of immunizing a viewport of a medical device against fogging before or during a medical procedure, and related apparatuses and devices. The methods comprise applying plasma to the viewport prior to use, thereby rendering a surface of the viewport highly hydrophilic. The methods eliminate or at least significantly reduce blur due to fogging.
    Type: Grant

  • FILMS, KITS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING TISSUE TREATMENT BY PLASMA WELDING
    Publication number: 20150250478
    Abstract: Films made of biocompatible material selected to enhance tissue treatment by plasma welding are provided. The films may be reinforced in various ways, adhesively attached to various tissues and participate in treating processes such as wound closure and fixation, wound healing and organ welding, supported by plasma application which enhances treatment as well as attachment of the films to the tissues. Dimensions and characteristics of the films as well as of applicator heads are adapted to optimize healing.
