| 20120078377 | SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING THERAPY TO AN ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE USING HIGH FREQUENCY PRESSURE WAVES AND/OR CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES - A system, device and method for dilating an anatomical structure. Systems, devices and methods may comprise a therapeutic component configured to treat a paranasal sinus. Specific embodiments may use high frequency pressure waves and/or cryogenic temperatures. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20110166598 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR TONGUE STABILIZATION - Tongue-stabilization devices and methods, such as, for example, for treatment and/or reduction of symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110152875 | SINUS TUBE - The inventive sinus tube provide a non-surgical approach to sinus disease. The tube once inserted in the ostia of a paranasal sinus provides the proper aeration and drainage of the sinus cavity. The tube stops the cycle of inflammation, stasis, infection, and continued inflammation associated with sinus disease. The tubes are inserted into the natural ostia of a patient or are inserted after a surgical procedure to enlarge the ostia. The invention also provides an instrument for inserting the inventive tube, methods of using the tube, and kits including the tubes. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110022172 | Disposable Medical Device for Engaging with Reusable Medical Instrument and Methods of Use - A disposable medical device for engaging with a reusable medical instrument and methods of using same. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110015734 | Methods for Providing Therapy to an Anatomical Structure - Methods for providing therapy to an anatomical structure. In specific embodiments, the anatomical structure is a paranasal sinus outflow tract. In particular embodiments, the paranasal outflow tract may be dilated. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110015667 | Systems, Devices and Methods for Providing Therapy to an Anatomical Structure - Systems, devices, and methods comprising an instrument for expanding a paranasal sinus. The instrument may comprise an articulatable shaft and a positioning member configured to move the articulatable shaft from a first position to a second position. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20100076485 | Methods and Systems for Medializing a Turbinate - Methods and systems for medializing a turbinate. Exemplary embodiments comprise methods and systems for repositioning a turbinate proximal to a septum. Certain embodiments comprise an implant and a flexible member coupled to the implant. Embodiments may also comprise an insertion device to install the implant in a desired location. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20090084825 | Septal Stapler Apparatus - A septal stapling apparatus includes an instrument body having proximal and distal end portions. A handle at the distal end portion enables a user to hold and manipulate the instrument body. A pair of spaced apart arms are extending from the handle and include a staple arm and a tensioning arm. The body provides a trigger that moves between resting and firing positions. An actuator link moves between first and second positions, the actuator link being moved by the trigger, wherein the actuator link includes a staple moving member that is attached to the staple arm. The staple arm has a staple bank that includes multiple staples. The trigger, actuator link, staple bank, and staple moving member are configured to move a staple to a stapling position when the trigger is pulled. The staple arm and tensioning arm move together when the trigger is pulled. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20080215090 | Method and System for Tissue Fastening - Fastening devices are provided that are designed to effectively close tissue as well as instruments for applying the inventive fastening devices. The devices are useful for closing tissue such as mucosa in the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, laryngeal surfaces, oronasopharynx, or other mucosal tissues. In particular, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), uvulopalatal flap (UPF) technique, and tonsillectomy can be assisted using the inventive system. Embodiments also provide methods of using the fastening devices and/or instruments, and kits including the fastening devices. | 09-04-2008 |
