MITRAL VALVE TRANSLOCATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT OF FUNCTIONAL MITRAL REGURGITATION
Published Thursday, January 31, 2019There is currently no reliable, durable mitral valve repair option for patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation (FMR). Replacing the mitral valve with a prosthetic tissue or mechanical valve is currently the most durable approach to the treating FMR. However, this procedure has a high perioperative mortality risk and carries the risk...

Device and Technique for Placement of Tracheoesophageal Prosthesis Using a Flexible Esophagoscope
Published Wednesday, May 11, 2016Following a laryngectomy, lung-powered voicing is achieved through placement of a one-way valve voice prosthesis using a rigid esophagoscope. This technique for prosthesis placement confers poor visualization. It can also be difficult or impossible to perform on patients with stenosis of the pharynx or esophagus, a...

Straight Expandable Polypectomy Forceps
Published Thursday, May 29, 2014Endoscopic biopsy forceps are routinely used for the resectioning of small, sessile, sub-centimeter polyps of the gastrointestinal tract. Originally invented to biopsy and sample mucosa, these forceps remain inadequate for the resectioning of entire polyps and often require multiple passes for complete removal. In order to resolve this issue,...
