Abstract: Various examples are provided related to electrosurgical devices which can be used during ab interno canaloplasty or pupilloplasty surgery. In one example, a suture tensioning and electrocautery device includes a casing; suture grips protruding out of a proximal end of the casing; a suture tensioning and retracting system connected to the suture grips; and a suture electrocautery system. In another example, a method includes affixing ends of a suture to respective suture grips protruding out of a proximal end of a suture tensioning and electrocautery device; tying the ends of the suture and tensioning the suture by rotating the suture grips to dilate Schlemm's canal; and heating the tied ends of the suture to maintain the tensioning of the suture thereby sustaining dilation of the Schlemm's canal.

Abstract: Embodiments for characterizing ear canal acoustic impedance and reflectance by pole-zero fitting are disclosed. Embodiments include transmitting an acoustic signal into an ear canal by a transducer having an acoustic source pressure. Further embodiments, measure complex cavity pressure, P(f), response based on the transmitted acoustic signal reflected by eardrum using an acoustic measurement device. Additional, such embodiments, calculate complex acoustic reflectance (CAR) based on the P(f). Other embodiments determine number of poles and zeroes of CAR pole-zero model to reduce residual error between the CAR pole-zero model and CAR data stored in memory within a threshold. Also, embodiments verify the residual error of CAR pole-zero model compared to the CAR data is within the threshold. Further, embodiments factor the CAR pole-zero model into an all pass component and a minimum phase component. Additional embodiments determine ear drum impedance by removing the all phase component of the CAR pole-zero model.
