Abstract: Flushing vaginal stent devices and related systems and methods for supporting and caring for vagina after genital surgery or radiation therapy are disclosed. In an embodiment, a flushing stent device includes an outer component that includes a proximal end aperture fluidly coupled between a douching tube portion internal to the outer component and a plurality of channels formed in an exterior surface of the flushing vaginal stent device, a middle component including a fenestrated stent structure, an inner component including an expansion and retraction mechanism, and a suturing tab portion coupled with at least the inner component.

Abstract: An assistive device for a metered dose inhaler decreases the force required to operate the inhaler. The assistive device has a body with a passage for receiving a replaceable conventional metered dose inhaler assembly that has a canister and a transverse mouthpiece with an axis of the canister aligning approximately with that of the passage. At least two symmetrically arranged levers extend in a direction away from the body and parallel to an axis thereof. A proximal end of each lever is attached to the body such that the free opposite ends of the levers may be moved towards and away from each other. An inwardly directed cam surface on each of the lever exerts a force on an end of the canister in use to move the canister longitudinally to cause a dose of medicament to be dispensed from the canister. An optional dose counter may form part of the device.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to systems and methods for endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus ablation and sensing. In an embodiment, a system for endoscopic ultrasound-guided ablation and sensing is included having an ultrasound endoscope that can include an ultrasound transducer and a radiofrequency catheter configured to be disposed within the ultrasound endoscope. The radiofrequency catheter can include a first electrode pair disposed on the radiofrequency catheter, where the first electrode pair configured to be placed at or near at a site of a celiac plexus. The system is configured to sense a baseline electrical property to verify placement of the first electrode pair at the celiac plexus; deliver a radiofrequency energy to the celiac plexus through the first electrode pair; and sense a post-treatment electrical property of the celiac plexus to verify neurolysis of the celiac plexus. Other embodiments are also included herein.
