  • Publication number: 20240099766
    Abstract: Methods and systems for modulating intraosseous nerves (e.g., nerves within bone) are provided. For example, the methods and systems described herein may be used to modulate (e.g., denervate, ablate) basivertebral nerves within vertebrae. The modulation of the basivertebral nerves may facilitate treatment of chronic back pain. The modulation may be performed by a neuromodulation device (e.g., an energy delivery device).

  • Patent number: 11407969
    Abstract: The present invention relates in part to devices, systems, and methods for the production and characterization of engineered tissue constructs. The devices and methods generate decellularized tissue constructs that can be recellularized using donor cells for high-throughput studies of organ physiology, and/or organ pathology. The devices and methods can be used with the systems to mechanically and electrically stimulate the engineered tissue constructs under culture or physiological conditions to detect and assess the presence and degree of any organ pathologies.

  • Publication number: 20210353270
    Abstract: A tissue sample collection assembly includes a cap and an arm extending from an inner surface of the cap, a basket assembly including a top basket and bottom basket, and a bottle. The top basket is coupled with a second end of the arm. The basket assembly is disposed within the bottle, and the bottom basket is disposed at the bottom surface of the bottle. The arm and top basket have a first position within the bottle when the cap is sealed with the bottle, and the arm and top basket have a second position within the bottle when the cap is re-sealed with the bottle. The top basket is uncoupled from the bottom basket in the first position. The top basket is coupled with the bottom basket in the second position.

  • Publication number: 20210205009
    Abstract: System and methods for channeling a path into bone include a trocar having a proximal end, distal end and a central channel disposed along a central axis of the trocar. The trocar includes a radial opening at or near the distal end of the trocar. The system includes a curveable cannula sized to be received in the central channel, the curveable cannula comprising a curveable distal end configured to be extended laterally outward from the radial opening in a curved path extending away from the trocar. The curveable cannula has a central passageway having a diameter configured allow a probe to be delivered through the central passageway to a location beyond the curved path.
