Tissue Clamp for Repeated Opening and Closure of Incisions/Wounds

Abstract: Medical clamps currently available are not efficient nor are they sufficiently precise in closure and alignment of the edges of an incision or wound. Many available designs are difficult to use and handle, especially in situations where repeated opening and closure of an incision or wound is required. The functional short-comings of existing...

Surgical Tool for Sub-retinal Tissue Implantation

Abstract: The accurate placement of transplanted tissue at a precise position in the retina is difficult but critical for a successful implementation of an ocular surgical intervention. Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) developed a surgical tool (see image below) designed to place tissue patches, such as sheets of tissue, onto the retina...

Devices for Improved Tissue Cryopreservation and Recovery

Abstract: Problem: Cryopreservation is a process where living biological materials like cells, tissues, and cell therapies (which are susceptible to damage caused by unregulated chemical kinetics) are preserved by cooling to very low temperatures in the presence of specific cryopreservation media that protects the biological material from damage. In...

Novel Methods for Generating Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cells from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Abstract: The retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) make up a polarized monolayer in the vertebrate eye that separates the neural retina from the choroid, and performs a crucial role in retinal physiology by forming a blood-retinal barrier and closely interacting with photoreceptors to maintain visual function. Many ophthalmic diseases, such as age-related...
