Abstract: Massaging and suction systems are provided. In an embodiment, the massaging and suction system includes a cushion device and a controller device. The cushion device includes a plurality of chambers that are interconnected by one or more channels, one or more outlets placed on the cushion device, and a flange insert. The plurality of chambers are inflated and deflated through the one or more outlets. The flange insert provides an interface for suction operations. The controller device includes a pump configured to inflate the plurality of chambers through the one or more outlets to facilitate massaging operations. In another embodiment, the massaging and suction system includes the cushion device and a controller device that includes a first pump for massaging operations and a second pump for suction operations.

Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to detect and/or ablate cancerous tissue, such as during surgery. The system uses Laser Ramen Spectroscopy (LRS) or Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) to enhance a detection signal pursuant to a spectroscopy analysis of tissue. Rapid in situ detection of cancer can be combined with immediate laser thermal ablation of the cancerous tissue. The detection and ablation can occur before, during, or after surgical resection.
