  • Publication number: 20240123134
    Abstract: A urine collection system includes a first fluid collection device with (i) a first internal cavity, (ii) a first inlet in fluid communication with the first internal cavity, and (iii) a first outlet in fluid communication with the first internal cavity. The urine collection system further includes a tube in fluid communication with the first outlet. The urine collection system further includes a second fluid collection device with (i) a second internal cavity, (ii) a permeable membrane positioned within the second internal cavity, thereby separating the second internal cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber, (iii) a second inlet in fluid communication with the first internal cavity, and (iv) a second outlet in fluid communication with the second inlet of the second fluid collection device.

  • Publication number: 20210038436
    Abstract: A transfer dressing that can secure and/or prevent undesired movement of epidermal skin grafts transfer substrates is described. The transfer dressing can include a transfer substrate and one or more adhesive appendages that are configured to secure the transfer substrate to a recipient site (e.g., periwound area) in order to hold the transfer substrate in place and/or facilitate handling of the transfer substrate. The transfer substrate can be comprised of a fenestrated surface configured to facilitate harvesting and transfer of epidermal skin grafts.

  • Patent number: 10172938
    Abstract: A responsive hydrogel-based material may be used as a carrier system for the in situ delivery of various cargo substances, including bioactive moieties. The hydrogel structure, which includes photodegradable and thioether moieties in its three dimensional network, enables finely tuned local release of cargo substances as a function of the in vivo tissue environment (e.g., enzyme concentration or reducing environment) and externally applied stimuli (e.g., light) by selective spatiotemporal hydrogel degradation.
    Type: Grant
