Our group was involved in research regarding the effect of energy modality on tissue identification from surgical smoke by differential ion mobility spectrometry in the latest issue of Microchemical Journal. Turns out DMS-based tissue identification works not only with monopolar electrosurgery, but with ultrasonic instruments as well. For more details, you can find the open-access article ...
Abstract A large transducer to generate high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for surgery via tissue ablation is described. Designed to address the need for therapeutic applications into deep tissue, the device operates at 1.25 MHz. In order to increase focus-to-entrance intensity ratios, the design was optimized to have a natural focal distance of 10 cm at fA.0. Variable focus is achieved by ...
During an ACL reconstruction, the orthopedic surgeon removes all the remaining ACL tissue from your knee, drills holes in your thigh and shin bones, and inserts a graft to replace the ACL. ...
“ACL reconstruction has been the accepted treatment for an ACL tear, but there can be drawbacks based on the type of tissue used,” says Dr. Brett Owens, an orthopedic sports medicine and ACL surgeon who has been using the BEAR Implant to treat patients. ...
The use of lasers for periodontal treatment has become more complicated because the periodontium consists of both hard and soft tissues. Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy Dental plaque is known as the principal etiologic factor for the inflammatory periodontal disease; therefore, it is evident that treatment of the disease is dependent upon how much the plaque and its retentive factors are ...

Once all unhealthy or dead tissue has been surgically removed, clinicians can move forward with NovoSorb BTM application. ...
Bioceramic materials have a long history of being used to repair human hard tissues, from biologically inert materials (such as alumina and zirconia, etc.) to biological materials that are both biologically active and degradable (such as phosphate and silicate bioceramics, silicon Based bio-glass, etc.), its physiological function is no longer a simple tissue filling substitute, but a tissue ...

Surgical reconstruction of PSD lesions typically uses a tissue flap that is ‘freed’ from the surrounding tissue, then advanced over the wound to provide immediate closure. However, this approach is often compromised by the poor tissue quality that can lead to post-operative surgical complications (e.g. dehiscence – ...
