Abstract: Trocars including a cannula and a seal assembly are disclosed herein. The seal assembly may include a first layer of a flexible material and a second layer of a flexible material. The first layer may include a plurality of first layer individual seals and the second layer may include a plurality of individual seals each aligned with a corresponding one of the first layer individual seals. The seal assembly may include a seal support structure supported, at least in part, by the first layer. The seal support structure defines, at least in part, a plurality of channels each corresponding to a first layer individual seal and a second layer individual seal. The seal assembly may enable sealing and maintaining insufflation before, during and after insertion of multiple different instruments into the trocar.

Abstract: A compression garment that is selectively engageable and operable by a controller for inflation via a reversible connector, the compression garment comprising a plurality of bladders and compression garment tubing. The compression garment tubing includes a plurality of garment tubes in fluid communication with the plurality of bladders at a first compression garment tubing end and includes a second compression garment tubing end opposite the first compression garment tubing end. The reversible connector has a first connector portion and second connector portion, the first connector portion and the second connector portion being selectively reversibly connectable together to form the reversible connector.

Abstract: A method of reprocessing a compression garment including tubing and a connector attached to the tubing and in fluid communication with the tubing includes attaching a reprocessing cap to the connector, and performing a reprocessing procedure to clean, sanitize, and/or disinfect the compression garment whereby the reprocessing cap prevents ingress of fluid into the tubing of the compression garment.

Abstract: Laminate or knitted medical devices and methods using such devices to support soft tissues and/or to reduce formation of post-operative adhesions. The medical devices can comprise a layer of a knitted silk mesh to which has been fused a water soluble or insoluble silk film or silk sponge, and/or a layer of a knitted silk mesh which was co-knitted with one, two or three layers of silk or non-silk fabric.
