  • Publication number: 20260115492
    Abstract: A radiotherapy delivery device includes a body having a first end and a second end and a catheter having a lumen extending between a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the catheter is coupled to the second end of the body and the distal end of the catheter includes a cutting tip that penetrates a target site. A sealed pouch containing radioactive particles is positioned within the lumen of the catheter, and a puncture shaft is positioned coaxially within the body. The puncture shaft advances in a longitudinal direction into and through the sealed pouch to release the radioactive particles. A syringe is fluidly coupled to the lumen of the catheter, and the radioactive particles released by the sealed pouch are deposited into the target site when fluid is supplied from the syringe and into the lumen of the catheter.

  • Publication number: 20250387105
    Abstract: A coupler device and methods for interfacing between a biopsy driver and an intraosseous device including a drive body rotatable around a longitudinal axis and having a distal drive receptacle. The distal drive receptacle is configured to drivably couple to a drive portion of the intraosseous device. A distal coupler portion is coupled to the drive body and is configured to operate a distal latch member. The distal latch member latches the drive body to the intraosseous device when the distal coupler portion is in a distal coupler latch position. The distal coupler portion has a distal housing portion that is movable in either of a distal direction or a proximal direction. The distal coupler portion has a distal release position and a proximal release position. The distal housing portion is configured to move the distal coupler portion to a release position to operate the distal latch member.

  • Publication number: 20230240830
    Abstract: A lymph conduction system implant includes a stent graft and a porous membrane. The stent graft has a non-porous tubular side wall. The non-porous tubular side wall has a proximal end and a distal end. The non-porous tubular side wall is configured to define a lumen having an inflow port at the proximal end and an outflow port at the distal end. All exposed surfaces of the stent graft are made of a first biocompatible material. The porous membrane is connected to the proximal end of the non-porous tubular side wall of the stent graft. The porous membrane is configured to span an entirety of a transverse area of the inflow port of the lumen of the stent graft. The porous membrane is made of a second biocompatible material.
