Tracking Breast Tissue Tumor Cavity after Lumpectomy
TS-062715 — Radiopaque biodegradable polymer for the tracking of the breast tissue tumor cavity after lumpectomy and other radiation therapy applications
Approximately 40% of women diagnosed with breast cancer undergo a lumpectomy procedure. Approximately 170,000 lumpectomies are performed each year in the United States. Typically, this operation is followed by radiation therapy to ensure there are no remaining cancerous cells in the region. It is …

Automatic Implanted Port Access Device
TS-061547 — A venous access port device that leverages near-field communication (NFC) to automate needle placement as well as a disposable needle cartridge to increase the ease of and help maintain aseptic access to the port.
Venous access ports are central venous access devices that allow healthcare practitioners easy access to the patient’s veins to give treatment and take blood. Typically, these ports are made of non-irritant material and can remain under the skin for weeks or months.
The Need
Accessing a …

Laparoscopic Circular Stapler Device with a Collapsible Anvil
TS-014834 — An improved device for surgical end-to-end anastomosis, a procedure common in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
Roux-en-Y laparoscopic gastric bypass is regarded as the ‘gold-standard-of-care’ for morbidly obese patients, classified as individuals with a body mass index (BMI) > 40. During the procedure, the surgeon creates a small hole, called an anastomosis, to reconnect the newly created st…
