Abstract: Provided herein are devices, systems, and methods for the percutaneous removal of solid deposits from the gallbladder or kidney.

Abstract: Provided herein are devices for sutureless securement of medical devices to a subject. In particular, drain tubes (e.g., percutaneous drains), catheters, and other medical devices are secured to the skin of a patient (e.g., near the insertion site) using the devices herein.

Abstract: Provided herein, is a device and method for fixing a percutaneous drain to a patient's skin while allowing for easy dressing changes. The device may comprises a drain engagement element with a cylindrical lumen for receiving the drain and two horizontal struts extending from its top portion, configured to snap into hooks on a back plate adhered to the patient's skin, creating a suture-less “air knot” that fixes the drain in place while allowing rotation in one plane to maintain a fixed curvilinear distance between the drain incision site and the drain engagement element attachment site. This arrangement minimizes drain movement and kinking during normal patient activities. A dressing change tool with hooks aligned to those on the back plate allows the drain engagement element to be temporarily transferred to the tool during dressing changes, maintaining the drain's position and avoiding dislodgement. The device reduces patient discomfort and complications associated with traditional drain fixation methods.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods concerning percutaneous drains that allow for improved fluid flow and patient comfort. In particular, the systems herein comprise a branching internal drain and a modified external circuit configuration by which a single drain insertion site can be used to place a branching internal drain through the first drain into the contralateral liver lobe/other liver segments to promote drainage from other sites, place a branching internal drain parallel to the first drain to increase the inner diameter of the drain across the stricture (ureteric or biliary), and place a branching internal drain into a large abscess to promote drainage from multiple areas or loculations within the abscess.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of treating a patient in need of therapy for prostate cancer comprising delivering a ?-radiation-emitting composition into the prostatic vasculature. In some embodiments, an absorbed dose of 60 Gy to 200 Gy is delivered to the prostate. In some embodiments, the ?-radiation-emitting composition is delivered into the arterial vasculature of the prostate via a catheter. In some embodiments, the ?-radiation-emitting composition comprises a suspension of the ?-radiation-emitting particles in an aqueous liquid.
