Abstract: A subcutaneous implantable device for guiding a vascular access member, the device including a channel defined by a through-hole in the device, wherein the channel is configured to guide the vascular access member there-through to a vascular site; and anchoring means adapted for fixedly attaching, in a form of using suture, tissue ingrowth, tissue encapsulation or tissue adhesion, the device to at least one of a dermis or a subcutaneous tissue at a position underneath the dermis to allow repeated access of the vascular access member through the channel to the vascular site, wherein the device is dimensioned to allow the device to be attached through the anchoring means for anchoring the entire device at a distance away from the vascular site, A method of creating scar tissue track for vascular access is also disclosed where the subcutaneous implantable device for guiding vascular access member is first implanted sub-dermally, the dermis is palpated to feel for the device location and orientation, the guiding

Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, a subcutaneous implant delivery apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a receiving portion configured to receive a subcutaneous implantable device; and a stabilizing portion configured to cooperate with the receiving portion to hold the subcutaneous implantable device in a fixed position. The receiving portion and the stabilizing portion are movable relative to each other between a released configuration, wherein the receiving portion and the stabilizing portion are configured to move apart from each other to allow the receiving portion to be inserted under a skin layer, and a closed configuration, wherein the receiving portion and the stabilizing portion are configured to move toward each other to allow the subcutaneous implantable device to be held adjacent to the skin layer. According to further embodiments of the present invention, a method of delivering a subcutaneous implantable device for accessing a vascular site is also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating auscultation detection of vascular conditions. A detector module for facilitating auscultation detection of vascular conditions, comprising: one or more auscultation detectors, each of the one or more auscultation detectors configured to acquire auscultation signals associated with at least one blood vessel; a securing means configured to secure the detector module superficially onto a user's skin such that the auscultation signals associated with the at least one blood vessel can be acquired; and a microprocessor module that is in communication with the one or more auscultation detectors and is configured to transmit the acquired auscultation signals to an external module that is in communication with the detector module.
