| 20080199357 | Integrated centrifugal blood pump-oxygenator, an extracorporeal life support system and a method of de-bubbling and priming an extracorporeal life support system - The invention relates to an integrated centrifugal blood pump-oxygenator ( | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080221386 | Devices for minimally invasive pelvic surgery - The invention, in various embodiments, provides systems, devices, and methods for treating urinary incontinence. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080319539 | Resorption-controllable medical implants - Bioresorbable medical implants are designed to have different resorption rates over time or over the topography of the implants. The resorption of the medical implants are controlled by including layers having differing resorption rates. The layers resorb sequentially over time through sequential exposure to body fluids. A resorption-controllable medical implant includes a series of two or more layers. The first layer includes a first bioresorbable material. The second layer includes a second bioresorbable material and resorbable particles of a first kind dispersed within the second bioresorbable material. Additional layers of bioresorbable material alone or including resorbable particles may be added to slow or speed resorption and achieve desired control over the resorption of the implant. Resorbable particles can be added in differing amounts or kinds in various segments of the implant to provide topographically differing resorption rates. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090054806 | MARKING BIOPSY SITES - A needle biopsy system for marking a sampling site is described. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090062818 | SUTURING INSTRUMENT WITH PIVOTABLE DISTAL PORTION - Suturing instruments in accordance with the invention are dimensioned and configured to apply sutures to approximate; ligate, or fixate tissue in, for example, open; mini-incision, trans-vaginal, laparoscopic, or endoscopic surgical procedures. In some embodiments, the suturing instruments include a distal portion that is deflectably and/or pivotally coupled to the remainder of the instrument for improved maneuverability and functionality during surgery. In other embodiments, the suturing instruments are capable of housing multiple needle and suture assemblies and/or reloading the needle and suture assembly without removing the instrument from the surgical site. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090287226 | FORWARD DEPLOYING SUTURING DEVICE AND METHODS OF USE - Sutures can be placed in difficult to access areas of the human body with devices, and related methods, utilizing a needle carrier. The devices and methods can be used in conjunction with both endosurgical and traditional open surgery procedures. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100042207 | RESORPTION-CONTROLLABLE MEDICAL IMPLANTS - Bioresorbable medical implants are designed to have different resorption rates over time or over the topography of the implants. The resorption of the medical implants are controlled by including layers having differing resorption rates. The layers resorb sequentially over time through sequential exposure to body fluids. A resorption-controllable medical implant includes a series of two or more layers. The first layer includes a first bioresorbable material. The second layer includes a second bioresorbable material and resorbable particles of a first kind dispersed within the second bioresorbable material.

Resorbable particles can be added in differing amounts or kinds in various segments of the implant to provide topographically differing resorption rates. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100240947 | DEVICES FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE PELVIC SURGERY - The invention, in various embodiments, provides systems, devices, and methods for treating urinary incontinence. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100268256 | SUTURE PASSER - A device for placing one or more sutures and approximating tissue includes an elongate body member and a suture deployment system. The suture deployment system includes a suture carrier with a sharpened end for piercing tissue. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100287761 | MEDICAL SLINGS - A medical sling made from material that is suitably shaped for use in a medical application has sides, portions of which are smoothed to prevent abrasion of surrounding tissue. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110112358 | MEDICAL SLINGS - A medical sling made from material that is suitably shaped for use in a medical application has sides, portions of which are smoothed to prevent abrasion of surrounding tissue. | 05-12-2011 |
