The human face is efficiently and precisely dissected while radioifrequency energy is applied to controllably release target tissue bonds and alter surrounding tissues in such a fashion that these facial tissues contract and tighten in response to the energy application while automatically excluding vital nerves and vessels. Tightening will be most dramatic in younger patients between 45 and 55 years of age such that the surgeon may not have to cut-out or stretch skin for a desirable effect in most of this population. The device is inserted through only 3 relatively small 1 cm incisions allowing energy to be applied to the upper subcutaneous, lower dermal and platysmal face-lift layers. The procedures take less than 15 minutes following anesthesia and the effects will last for at least several years. The special arrangement of protrusions and recessions on the tip of the instrument allows the surgeon to efficiently force the device through face-lift planes with instantaneous knowledge of the location and progress simply by the “feel” of the apparatus. Vibrational energy and optional ultrasonic means will yield speed enhancement and tip debris and char reduction.

A device is described that can be used by surgeons to provide quick and accurate face-lifting maneuvers that minimize the amount of tissue that has to be removed. The device comprises of a hollow undermining shaft with specially designed tip that can safely separate tissue planes and lyse fibrous tissue. Laser light can be delivered down the shaft to heat and cause tissue contraction. Device can also include a temperature sensor that can be used to control laser power. Optionally the device can also use ultrasound or electrosurgical energy to improve tissue lysing.

The present apparatus suspends a book above the reader from an overhead support. It includes a suspension line hanging down from two support attachments above. Suspended from the middle of the line is an assembly of a book tie rod which holds the book along its spine and a suspension bar extending from side to side behind the cover of the book. An apertured control tube couples the book tie rod to the suspension bar. Page retainers are carried by the suspension bar to engage the open pages of the book. A pitch line extends down to the suspension bar at one side of the book from a pitch bar which engages the opposite sides of the hang line a short distance above the suspension bar and tie rod.

A noninvasive medical device and diagnostic system is disclosed that can be used to determine the degree of viability, flow and stenosis of a graft within the human body. This invention incorporates a sensing element in or near an AV graft. As stenosis occurs within or near the graft, the change in pressure within the graft can be detected by the sensors and provide the physician with information about the location of the stenosis. This information can than be used to provide the best course of treatment for the patient.

A device is described that uniformly cools a surface to a specified temperature using a mist of cryogenic fluid. The device comprises a cryogenic fluid reservoir, a valve for controllably releasing the fluid through an atomizing nozzle, a non-contact temperature sensor, and a control unit to display the measured temperature and optionally pre-set the desired surface temperature and control the valve. The application of mist can be controlled manually or electronically. This invention provides a portable tool for safely cooling skin for dermatological applications.

A sensor guided needle to be used for the delivery of medication or placement of indwelling catheters, angiocatheters, spinal or epidural catheters, central lines, arterial lines, intraneoplastic, pediatric lines. The needle is comprised of an outer metal sheath with a biocompatible inner core containing sensor or signal elements. The measurements collected by the sensors are analyzed by a control unit to determine tissue type and possibly tissue state. This information can be utilized to track the progress of the needle and determine safe placement in the patient

A device is described that can be used quickly and accurately by surgeons to provide uniform facial tissue planes that are tunnel-free and wall-free thus optimizing face lifting, tightening, and implant delivery. The device is comprised of a shaft with a substantially planar tip further comprised of relative protrusions and energized relative recession lysing segments. Forward motion of the device precisely divides and energizes various tissue planes causing contraction, especially via the fibrous tissues. Other forms of energy and matter can be delivered down the shaft to further enhance desirable tissue modification and contraction.
