20100210600 | Methods and Compositions for Treating Urogenital Disorders - Glycerophosphate salts have been found to drastically improve the treatment of urogenital disorders such as urethral strictures and vaginal atrophy. Methods, devices and kits are described for treating urogenital disorders using a composition comprising an effective amount of a glycerophosphate salt. | 08-19-2010 |
20110304468 | FLUID VOLUME ALARM SYSTEM - A fluid volume alarm system is presented. The alarm system has a container for storing fluid, and alarm module coupled to the container for notifying a user or observer that the fluid within the container has reached a predetermined level. The container has at least one exterior wall and defines an interior volume for at least temporary storage of fluid. In one aspect, there are at least two electrodes disposed on an interior portion of the exterior wall of the container and positioned at a position thereon an interior portion of the exterior wall corresponding to a predetermined fluid level at which it is desirable to receive an alarm. The system also has an alarm module configured to alert the practitioner that the fluid has met or has exceeded the predetermined level. | 12-15-2011 |
20120016338 | CHEMOABLATION OF TISSUE USING BIODEGRADABLE, SOLID SALT DOSAGE FORMS - Novel methods for the chemical ablation of tissue (e.g. prostatic tissue) are described. These methods include the steps of: (a) providing one or more solid salt dosage form comprising 50-100% w/w salt; and (b) inserting one or more of such solid salt dosage forms into the tissue. The solid salt dosage form is optionally inserted into the tissue under real-time ultrasonic observation. An advantage of the present invention is its ability to eliminate toxic byproducts. For example, where NaCl-based solid salt dosage forms are used to effect localized chemical ablation, the concentration is ultimately reduced to the level of normal saline (i.e., about 0.9%) upon absorption by the body of the subject being treated. | 01-19-2012 |
20140220094 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR A LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY - Glycerophosphate salts have been found to drastically improve a laparoscopic surgery by reducing the inflammatory response inflicted by the surgery and enhancing wound healing. Methods and devices for improving the laparoscopic surgery using a composition comprising an effective amount of a glycerophosphate salt are described. | 08-07-2014 |

20130299607 | SPRAY EJECTOR DEVICE AND METHODS OF USE - An ejector device for ejecting droplets of fluid onto a surface includes an ejector mechanism attached to a fluid reservoir through a fluid loading plate that is configured to pierce the reservoir and channel the fluid to a rear surface of the ejector mechanism by capillary action. The ejector mechanism may have a centro-symmetric configuration with a lead free piezo actuator and may be covered by an auto-closing cover. | 11-14-2013 |

20080253934 | AUTOMATIC PRECISION NON-CONTACT OPEN-LOOP FLUID DISPENSING - A rugged, all-electronic fluid dispensing system for use with pipettes or in other contexts indirectly measures fluid flow by using a non-linear system model to correlate vacuum existing at the top of a column of suspended fluid. Non-contact operation is provided to eliminate the need for contact-type closed-loop fluid flow sensing and associated potential cross-contamination risks. In one particular exemplary non-limiting illustrative implementation, an electronic controller within a gun-shaped, cordless self-contained pipetter housing dynamically calculates valve opening time based on a non-linear equation. Calibration is used to derive equation constants, and column vacuum pressure before the valve is opened is used as the independent variable to derive a valve opening time that will result in accurate dispensing of a desired programmed fluid quantity. Repetitive automatic dispensing with accuracies greater than 1% are possible within the context of a relatively inexpensive portable pipette or device without the need for mechanically-complex positive displacement arrangements. | 10-16-2008 |
20140316214 | Method and Apparatus for Performing In Vitro Fertilization - Devices and methods for performing in vitro fertilization (“IVF”) and maximizing successful fertilization rates by optimizing the fluid flow conditions under which zygotes are transferred from growth medium to the uterine wall. The apparatus has a control unit with an external port and an internal pump for creating positive and negative fluid pressure at the port. A flexible extension hose connects the port to an inter-uterine catheter assembly. The catheter assembly has an inner catheter and an outer sheath surrounding the inner catheter. The control unit includes a programmable microprocessor that accepts input commands and controls operation of the pump. Optionally, the control unit has remote control means for activating, de-activating, and reversing the flow of the pump. The control unit can be programmed to repeatedly provide the same aspiration and expulsion flow conditions through the catheter assembly. The control unit may also be programmed to provide a defined sequence of aspiration and expulsion fluid flow conditions through the catheter assembly. The control unit may include an internal memory that records the fluid flow conditions through the catheter assembly during each step of the IVF procedure. By recording the fluid conditions during an IVF procedure and counting the number of zygotes that successfully develop into embryos under those conditions, a statistical analysis is performed to determine the optimum fluid flow conditions for an IVF procedure. | 10-23-2014 |
