| 20110064665 | Diagnostic and therapeutic nanoparticles - The present invention relates to diagnostic and therapeutic nanoparticles. More particularly, the present invention relates to creating a hybrid gold/gold sulfide nanoparticle with a chitosan matrix surrounding the metallic nanoparticle and a method for making the same. The chitosan-coated gold/gold sulfide nanoparticles can then be incorporated with additional therapeutic or diagnostic compounds such as iodine, antibodies, or other suitable compounds. The nanoparticles of the present invention have the dual capabilities of absorbing near infrared wavelength light to (1) act as a therapeutic agent by generating heat energy effective for cell ablation or for release of therapeutic compounds embedded in the chitosan matrix and (2) creating diagnostic benefit by incorporation of X-ray or MRI contrast agents. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20100010632 | SAND-BLASTING METHOD USING BIOCOMPATIBLE POLYMERS - The invention relates to a method for modifying the surface state of an implant made of polyaryletheretherketone, and for favouring the osteoconduction and osteointegration thereof in bone surgery, that comprises sand-blasting said implant with abrasive particles of calcium phosphate. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100034751 | DEHYDRATED GRANULAR COMPOSITION AND BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS THEREOF - The invention relates to a granular composition for a biomaterial, that comprises from 0.1 to 5 wt % of at least one polymer derived from cellulose, 75 to 99.9 wt % of a mineral phase containing hydroxyapatite and/or β tricalcic phosphate, and 0 to 10 wt % of water, preferably 0 to 7 wt % of water, more preferably 0 to 5 wt % of water, and even more preferably approximately 5 wt % of water. | 02-11-2010 |

| 20080262487 | Clot capture coil and method of using same - A clot and foreign body removal device is described which comprises a catheter with at least one lumen. Located within the catheter is a clot capture coil that is connected to an insertion mandrel. In one embodiment, the clot capture coil is made out of a solid elastic or superelastic material which has shape memory, preferably nitinol. The elasticity or superelasticity of the coil allows it to be deformed within the catheter and to then reform its original coil configuration when the coil is moved outside of the catheter lumen. In another embodiment the coil is a biphasic coil which changes shape upon heating or passing an electric current. Once the coil configuration has been established, the coil can be used to ensnare and corkscrew a clot in a vessel. A clot is extracted from the vessel by moving the clot capture coil and catheter proximally until the clot can be removed or released into a different vessel that does not perfuse a critical organ. Foreign bodies are similarly captured by deploying the coil distal to the foreign body and moving the clot capture coil proximally until the foreign body is trapped within the coil. By removing the device from the body, the foreign material is also removed. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20100241201 | INDWELLING HEAT EXCHANGE CATHETER AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A catheter is adapted to exchange heat with a body fluid, such as blood, flowing in a body conduit, such as a blood vessel. The catheter includes a shaft with a heat exchange region disposed at its distal end. This region may include hollow fibers which are adapted to receive a remotely cooled heat exchange fluid preferably flowing in a direction counter to that of the body fluid. The hollow fibers enhance the surface area of contact, as well as the mixing of both the heat exchange fluid and the body fluid. The catheter can be positioned to produce hypothermia in a selective area of the body or alternatively positioned to systemically cool the entire body system. | 09-23-2010 |
