Patent number: 11737916Abstract: In certain aspects, the invention is directed to magnetic eye shields that comprise a magnet. When worn by a patient, the magnetic eye shields are configured to generate an intraocular magnetic field of sufficient magnitude and direction to move a magnetic therapeutic and/or diagnostic agent positioned inside the eye to target tissue within the eye. Other aspects of the invention pertain to kits which comprise such magnetic eye shields as well as one or more additional components, for example, one or more containers of a magnetic diagnostic and/or or therapeutic agent. Further aspects of the invention pertain to methods of treatment, which comprise intraocularly introducing a magnetic therapeutic and/or diagnostic agent into an eye of a patient and fitting a magnetic eye shield to the head of the patient, wherein the magnetic therapeutic and/or diagnostic agent may be introduced to the patient before or after fitting the magnetic eye shield to the head of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Emmetrope Ophthalmics LLCInventors: Jeffrey L. Goldberg, Roger A. Goldberg, Noelia J. Kunzevitzky, Dillon Joseph Rak

Publication number: 20220304673Abstract: The present technology is directed to systems, methods, and devices for anchoring suture devices into a target patient tissue to treat a medical condition. For example, in some embodiments the present technology includes a tissue-support system including an applicator device and a suture device. The applicator device is configured to deploy and anchor the suture device in a target tissue. In some embodiments, the suture device is deployed such that an anchor of the suture device is positioned external to the tissue it is anchored to.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: Douglas Scherr, Roger Goldberg, Ghazaleh Rostami Nia

Patent number: 9387061Abstract: In one embodiment, an implant is configured to be placed within a body of a patient. The implant includes a support member. The support member is configured to be placed adjacent a vaginal apex of a patient. The support member has a length sufficient to extend the length of the vaginal apex but not of a length sufficient to extend from the vaginal apex to a location between a vagina of the patient and a rectum of the patient. The implant also includes first and second arm members coupled to the support member. The arm members are configured to be coupled to bodily tissue of the patient to help secure the implant within the body of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Roger Goldberg, Brent Palmisano, John Sherry, James Goddard
