Abstract:
Devices, systems and methods for closing incisions and puncture wounds, such as those trocar openings necessary for port based surgery. An insertion tube is passed through the puncture wound, as by insertion through a trocar, to allow access therethrough. A wound sealing apparatus including a body and a number of attachment elements, such as retaining hooks, is passed from the insertion tube. The attachment elements pierce the fascia around the wound to retain the apparatus in position as the body seals the opening. Actuation may occur through the use of a plunger that extends down a bore of the insertion tube to actuate the apparatus. In some embodiments, actuation rotates a number of arms from the insertion tube to place the attachment elements in the appropriate position.

US Classification:
600549, 607102, 128845
Abstract:
A system is described having a heating device with a focused antenna array, a chair, a cabinet, at least one temperature monitoring device, a cooling system, and a controller. The system may be used to heat and monitor internal tissue and/or fluid in an individual in a non-invasive way.

International Classification:
A61B 5/01
US Classification:
600549
Abstract:
A method of monitoring internal tissue in a non-invasive way is described. Microwave energy may be provided to tissue and a focused antenna may detect energy from the tissue and quantify the results.

International Classification:
A61B 18/18 A61B 5/01
US Classification:
606 33, 600549
Abstract:
A heating and monitoring system is described having a focused antenna to monitor temperature of internal tissue and or bodily fluids in a non-invasive way. The focused antenna is shielded to form and relatively small and manageable package that can be placed to monitor internal tissue and/or bodily fluids.

International Classification:
A61B 6/00
US Classification:
600407
Abstract:
Certain radiometer assemblies can include an antenna that is shielded within an enclosure, which can have an open end. The antenna can be used to receive signals from a patient via a matching layer that is positioned at the open end of the enclosure. In some assemblies, a rim of shielding material encompasses the open end of the enclosure so as to reduce stray electromagnetic interference, such as when the assembly is used to monitor a deep tissue temperature.

International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
600549, 601 2, 600407, 600412
Abstract:
The systems, methods and apparatus of the present invention comprise noninvasive methods of measuring temperature changes and rates of temperature change in selected body tissues and fluids as a result of absorption and/or dissipation of externally applied heat for the purpose of detecting and monitoring disease or dysfunction, and for preparing diagnostic images of the tissues and related areas from such measurements. Some embodiments of the present invention monitor temperatures of heated tissues directly while other embodiments may measure temperatures of tissues which are heated through flow of heated fluid therethrough.
Certain radiometer assemblies can include an antenna that is shielded within an enclosure, which can have an open end. The antenna can be used to receive signals from a patient via a matching layer that is positioned at the open end of the enclosure. In some assemblies, a modular unit may be provided that is configured for connection with an electrical shield having at least a portion of a radiometer therein.
