  • Publication number: 20070027501
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electrical trial stimulator that stores multiple applications to selectively emulate the operation of different chronically implanted stimulators. Each application corresponds to a different chronically implanted stimulator. Upon selection of a particular application, the stimulator executes a set of instructions to emulate the operation of a chronically implanted stimulator that corresponds to the application. The multi-application stimulator permits a physician to select an application for stimulation therapy, and evaluate efficacy of a particular chronically implanted stimulator. In addition, the physician may select any of the other stimulation applications to emulate other stimulators. The different stimulation applications may correspond to different stimulators that deliver a similar therapy, e.g., stimulators designed to deliver spinal cord stimulation for alleviation of chronic pain.

  • Publication number: 20070014862
    Abstract: A hemostatic agent comprises oxidized cellulose in the form of a compressible, shapeable mass that can remain substantially in the compressed or shaped form for placement on a bleed site or into a wound gap. The oxidized cellulose may be a pellet of unwoven oxidized cellulose fibrous strands, or it may be strands of unwoven cellulose fibers woven or otherwise arranged into a gauze or mesh. In a method of causing hemostasis, oxidized cellulose is provided in pellet form and applied to a wound gap. The pellet may be compressed before being applied to the wound, which thereby allows the pellet to expand to conform to the shape of the wound gap. The pellet may be allowed to remain in the wound gap during the healing of the wound, thus causing the pellet to be absorbed by the biological processes of the body.

  • Publication number: 20060282133
    Abstract: Methods for staining a selected tissue with a dye, stain or pigment that is attuned to absorb the energy from a radiant energy source are disclosed. The radiant energy source can be sufficient to destroy or combust radiated tissues. The dye or stain can enhance absorption of incoming radiant energy, which results in increased destruction of stained tissues and decreased destruction of underlying tissues. This method provides clinicians with the ability to selectively mark a tissue for destruction, while leaving wanted tissues generally intact. A clinician may dispense the stain with a pen and directly stain selected biological tissues, similar to the current practice of drawing current incision guides, followed by radiating the stained area with a laser that produces a wavelength that the stain readily absorbs. Optionally, a radiant energy opaque substance that can be applied adjacent the stained treatment area to protect against accidental or incidental exposure to wanted tissue.
