Abstract: A suture fastener delivery device includes a handle, a fastener delivery end comprising a suture fastener and crimping jaws, and a shaft extending between the handle and the fastener delivery end. The shaft comprises a rail, a plurality of reserve suture fasteners, a side suture slot positioned on a side of the shaft to allow the suture ends to exit the delivery device, and a suture cutting blade adjacent to the rail. The suture fastener delivery device can capture a suture within a side slot of the suture device, and upon activation of a trigger on the handle, crimp and bend the suture fastener to secure the fastener, and cut the excess suture ends via the cutting blade. A slider on the handle can then be used to reload a reserve suture fastener, such that additional fasteners can be deployed without removal of the delivery device from the surgical site.

Abstract: A system and method whereby a group of people can privately, or in an online location with a singular purpose, share a website, social network, or other communications for a particular event. A personalized social network can be generated for the group to enhance privacy, security, and ease of interaction. The personalized social network can be associated with a place, time, or other conditions, such that the social network can effectively address a singular purpose, such as a wedding, and all group members can easily communicate information relative to the event.

Abstract: A delivery device for suture deployment for post-procedure closure of an access site after removal of an interventional device is disclosed. The delivery device includes a distal assembly comprising an elongate member, a proximal housing comprising one or more control elements for controlling one or more components of the delivery device, and a plurality of delivery tubes extending distally from the proximal housing into the elongate member. Each of the plurality of delivery tubes includes a suture anchor stored within a distal portion of that delivery tube, and a push rod configured to push the suture anchor distally out of the distal portion of that delivery tube for deployment of the suture anchor within a target tissue.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for an articulating microsurgical instrument is disclosed herein. The articulating microsurgical instrument may be configured to be operable with a Doppler probe, bone grasper, soft tissue grasper/dissector, scissors, flexible forceps, or a suction/irrigation line configured to provide tools within a surgical location that can be adjusted to a desired angle of operation. A tip assembly may comprise an articulating portion at a distal tip and the articulating portion may be configured to deflect upon actuation of an articulation control. The articulation control may be a trigger assembly or a roller wheel. A bayonet-style handle may include a set of posts configured to interact with the one or more control wires during actuation of the articulation control. One or more control wires may be housed in a lumen and actuated using a articulation control of a handle assembly.
