Title: High-strength suture
Inventor: WERT ZACHARY D
IPC: A61B17/06
Filed: 2005-06-14
Granted: 2014-10-14
Abstract: A surgical suture is made of an elongate, hollow braid of high strength fibers. The braid defines an elongate, longitudinally-extending, central chamber that is open and without any core material extending therein so that, when a surgeon's knot is tied with the suture, the cross-sectional shape of the braid collapses upon itself and is reduced in size in response to pressures experienced when the knot is tightened thereby producing a low profile knot that resists slippage. Preferably, the braid is of a size corresponding to a USP size 5-0 to USP size 7 suture and has one or more, preferably a pair, of color contrasting monofilaments woven therein to enhance suture visibility. Methods of making a flattened suture and of utilizing the high strength suture to maintain body tissues in an engaged position to promote healing are also provided.

Title: Determination of a measure of a glycation end-product or disease state using tissue fluorescence
Inventor: HULL EDWARD L
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2004-10-26
Granted: 2013-07-09
Abstract: A method of determining a measure of a tissue state (e.g., glycation end-product or disease state) in an individual is disclosed. A portion of the individual's tissue is illuminated with excitation light from a light source subsystem (A) and light emitted by the tissue due to fluorescence of a chemical within the tissue responsive to the excitation light is detected by a detection subsystem (C). The detected light can be combined with a model stores in the signal processor (D), which relates fluorescence with a measure of tissue state to determine a tissue state. Correction techniques can be used to reduce errors due to the detection of non-fluorescent light, such as the reflectance of the tissue. Other biologic information can also be sued in combination with the fluorescence properties to aid in the determination of a measure of tissue state.
