Abstract: Certain embodiments include an endotracheal (ET) device assembly including an expansion lattice coupled with an expansion and/or contraction actuator. In certain aspects the expansion lattice is position within an open-ended sheath or cover that is position between the trachea and the expansion lattice when deployed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices and methods of use of that device that assists in the clearing of the airway of a patient and where the device is portable and able to be used with a single hand.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods, apparatuses, and systems for aspirating the airway of a patient. The apparatus includes a main body having a pump and a storage canister housing coupled to the main body and containing a storage container that is at least partially collapsible. In some configurations, the main body can include a pressure sensor, a controller in communication with the pressure sensor, and having a processor, a memory, and a power source in communication with the controller. The storage canister housing can include a first end coupled to the main body, and a second end having a weighted portion and configured to be coupled to the first end to permit free rotation, such that the second end gravitationally rotates.

Abstract: Surgical cooling may be implemented by various systems, processes, and techniques. In certain implementations, a surgical cooling device includes a shaft, a cooling assembly, and a mechanical control system. The shaft includes a pair of axial cooling channels extending through its interior. The cooling assembly includes a pair of arms pivotally attached to the shaft and a foldable thermal exchanger coupled to the pair of arms and fluidly coupled to the pair of axial cooling channels. The mechanical control system is adapted to unfold the cooling assembly from a closed position to an open position to allow a coolant to flow through a first of the pair of axial cooling channels, through one or more thermal exchange channels, and out a second of the pair of cooling channels.

Abstract: An implantable medical apparatus comprising a control unit, a bladder containing a fluid, a ram configured to compress the fluid in the bladder, and a pressure sensor configured to detect a pressure of the fluid in the inflatable bladder. The bladder, ram, pressure sensor and control unit are located in a unitary implant configured for placement within a corporeal body.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to devices and methods for tissue removal. Exemplary embodiments can be configured for mechanical dissection as well as suction to grasp, resect and collect all or part of a target tissue. Exemplary embodiments may also comprise elements for cauterization of tissue and coagulation of blood vessels.

Abstract: In one embodiment, kicking training is provided to a kicker in real time by collecting data while the kicker kicks a ball toward a display screen, determining the trajectory of the ball from the collected data, and displaying to the kicker on the display screen a simulation of the flight of the ball within a virtual world.
