20120302993 | ANESTHETIC DELIVERY DEVICE - According to an example embodiment, a delivery device may include a needle and a pump operatively coupled to the needle, the pump having an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration, the pump being biased to its expanded configuration such that fluid stored in the pump will exit the pump via the needle in response to pressure being applied to the pump, and in response to the pressure being released from the pump, the pump is configured to receive fluid from outside of the delivery device via the needle. | 11-29-2012 |
20130066146 | IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE AND METHODS OF DELIVERING THE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE - A medical device and method of delivery of the medical device within a patient's body are disclosed by the present invention. The medical device includes a first elongate member and a second elongate member. A first portion and a second portion of the second elongate member are configured to form a defined non-planar shape such that the first portion is a first arm of the defined non-planar shape and the second portion is a second arm of the defined non-planar shape. | 03-14-2013 |
20130178696 | BODILY IMPLANTS FORMED FROM DIFFERENT MATERIALS - In one embodiment, an implant includes a body member and an extension member. The body member is formed of a first material and has a first side portion and a second side portion. The extension member is formed of a second material different than the first material. The extension member has a first arm portion, a second arm portion, and a mid-portion disposed between the first arm portion and the second arm portion. The mid-portion extends from the first side portion of the body member to the second side portion of the body member. The first arm portion extends from the first side portion of the body member along a first axis. The second arm portion extends from the second side portion of the body member along a second axis different than the first axis. | 07-11-2013 |
20140275754 | MEDICAL DEVICE AND METHOD OF DELIVERING THE MEDICAL DEVICE - The invention discloses an implant. The implant may include a first flap and a second flap. The first flap may further include a first portion, a second portion and a transition region. The first portion may be configured to be attached proximate a sacrum. The second portion may be configured to be attached to an anterior vaginal wall. The transition region lies between the first portion and the second portion. The second flap may be fabricated such that a portion of the second flap is configured to be attached to a posterior vaginal wall. The implant may be configured such that a value corresponding to a biomechanical parameter defining a biomechanical attribute of the portion of the first flap attaching to the anterior wall is different from a value of the biomechanical parameter defining the biomechanical attribute of the portion of the second flap attaching to the posterior wall. | 09-18-2014 |
