  • Publication number: 20120022515
    Abstract: A hemostatic applicator adapted to stop a bleeding site from bleeding is provided. The hemostatic applicator includes a magnetic part, an anti-adhesion layer and a non-magnetic part. The magnetic part is suitable to be heated to a temperature with a high frequency electromagnetic field. The anti-adhesion layer is formed on a surface of the magnetic part, and the magnetic part contacts the bleeding site through the anti-adhesion layer. The non-magnetic part is connected with the magnetic part. A hemostatic module is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20110054455
    Abstract: An electromagnetic thermotherapeutic apparatus includes a tubular needle and an inner needle. The tubular needle has an electromagnetic inductive portion that is made from a material capable of generating heat when subjected to an induction magnetic field, and that has a hollow tip, and a non-electromagnetic inductive portion that is connected to the electromagnetic inductive portion oppositely of the hollow tip. The inner needle is removably insertable into the tubular needle from the non-electromagnetic inductive portion to the hollow tip.

  • Publication number: 20100249770
    Abstract: An electromagnetic thermotherapeutic system is adapted to treat a biological tissue and includes an electromagnetic thermotherapeutic apparatus and a high frequency induction heating circuit unit. The apparatus includes a needle assembly and a temperature monitor. The needle assembly is adapted to be inserted in the biological tissue, and includes a flexible and bendable needle seat, and a plurality of ferrous needles that are attached to the needle seat and that have needle tips extending in a direction away from the needle seat. The temperature monitor is connected to the needle assembly. The high frequency induction heating circuit unit has an induction coil capable of producing an electromagnetic field to induce currents in the ferrous needles and to thereby heat the ferrous needles.

  • Publication number: 20040219175
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a temperature-sensitive thermogelling emulsion system for bioactive substances, consisting of a biodegradable temperature-sensitive aqueous phase polymer solution, and a pharmaceutically acceptable oil phase carrier, which embeds the bioactive substance. The oil phase carrier and the temperature-sensitive polymer solution are mixed mutually to produce the emulsion, and the emulsion is a liquid while the temperature is below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and reversibly transforms into a gel while the temperature is above said lower critical solution temperature. The emulsions are able to offer the controlled release without burst effect and afterward in a near zero order manner, as well as be non-invasively monitored post-implantation. The design of entrapment of the bioactive substances in the oily phase is also beneficial to preserve the bioactivity of the environment-sensitive substances.
