Surgery Product Applications In Ohio

Advances in diagnostic methods have enabled the detection of cancer at the earliest stages when the chances for successful intervention are highest. For many solid tumors, the best chance for a cure is surgery. A surgical cure depends upon the complete removal of all cancer tissue from a patient (a “complete resection”). The main challenge of this approach is that it is very difficult for a surgeon to determine where diseased tissue ends and healthy tissue begins. The result is that many surgical ...

A critical factor in ensuring complete resection of a solid cancer tumor is the ability to determine where diseased tissue ends and healthy tissue begins. Our research, as well as our clinical collaborators, confirm that there is a pressing unmet clinical need: the ability to rapidly and globally assess the status of marginal tissue adjacent to a tumor while the patient is in the ...

The Promise: With modern diagnostic and imaging technologies, cancer can be detected earlier than ever before. And with earlier detection comes the promise of a surgical cure—that is, the complete removal (or resection) of all tumor tissue from a patient. Research has shown that patients with surgical cures have fewer complications in recovery and a greatly enhanced survival rate when compared to patients who do not achieve surgical ...

With hemostatic properties, collagen and collagen scaffolds may be used as a resorbable hemostatic membrane. Collagen fibrils in collagen powder helps to trap platelets and assist in forming a clot to stop bleeding. Extracellular matrix scaffolds are widely used in hernia repair and other areas of soft tissue weakness. Depending on the source of the extracellular matrix tissue, extracellular matrix scaffolds have been used as adhesion resistant barrier membranes for surgeries taking place within the abdominal ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a therapeutic approach that involves implanting electrodes in precise brain areas and fine-tuning the stimulation to alleviate symptoms such as in Parkinson’s disease. The variance in patient outcomes post-DBS is often linked to the optimization of DBS programming, which is inherently complex due to the multitude of adjustable parameters like contact points, polarity, frequency, pulse width, and amplitude. These numerous combinations must be evaluated swiftly during clinic ...

Biologic scaffolds rich in collagen have been used as dural grafts in cranial repairs as well as tendon wraps, soft tissue reinforcement, or adhesion resistant barriers in maxillofacial applications. Collagen may be used as a bone void filler or a dermal filler in plastic and reconstructive surgery ...
