Lifting power = no hydrodissection required. Barrigel creates its own space. Its lifting strength creates adequate space from apex to base. -Non-polymerizing gel allows for sculpting the implant to the anatomy - perform touch-ups as needed -High TRUS visibility allows you to see exactly where you are placing the implant in real time -Can stop and reconfirm needle tip throughout the procedure See Barrigel’s lifting power in action: https://ow.ly/fIs150QUBtK Reference: Mariados NF, Orio PF, Schiffman Z et al.

Is there a non invasive alternative to treat kidney stones? With the lithogold380 MTS medical presents a new generation of devices for tissue-friendly and efficient treatment of kidney stones and other urological indications. The lithotripter is most notably characterised by its large focal area (20 x 101 mm) and low energy peaks (max. 36.9 MPa) which guarantee an effective and kidney-friendly therapy.   The large focal area generated by the Spark Wave applicator, enhances performance thanks to the so-called “𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁”. The electrohydraulic shockwave generation offered by the lithogold380 is characterized by high positive and minor tensile pressure. This combination offers high therapeutic efficacy with with only minor side effect potential   For further information about Lithotripsy click at the link in the comments! 👇   Witness.

US-GUIDED SUPRASCAPULAR N BLOCK Patient seen recently for regenerative medicine treatment to the rot cuff. A suprascapular nerve block was first performed at the suprascapular notch to help with intra-operative and post-procedure pain. The challenges with blocking the nerve at the suprascapular notch are: 1. Finding the notch! Surprisingly, this is quite challenging for those who are relatively new to MSK US. 2. Not being in the notch, but advancing too far and hitting the apex of the lung. Not a good day! Make sure that you ALWAYS see the needle tip and that the needle is actually touching bone before injecting. Using a curved probe can be very helpful because it allows a steep injection angle yet still with good needle visualization. The advantage of targeting the nerve at the upper notch (vs. the inferior spinoglenoid notch) is that you get both branches-- supraspinatus and infraspinatus. Targeting the nerve at the inferior spinoglenoid notch oftentimes only gets the branch to the infraspinatus.

A shift in the way we treat glaucoma is fast approaching... In case you missed it, Ike Ahmed, MD, and Ticiana De Francesco, MD, offered their perspectives on ViaLase's pioneering femtosecond laser-based technology, a visionary approach to noninvasive glaucoma treatment.  Thanks again to Glaucoma Today for the feature.

Hot topic in medical aesthetic. Sharing my thoughts and insights for safeties and best outcomes in treating Asians/Ethnic noses♥️

Addressing wounds properly is essential for a timely and successful recovery. Amniotic membrane skin grafts involve using the thin, innermost layer of the placenta, known as the amniotic membrane, as a biological material for skin grafting. This unique tissue is rich in growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix components that can promote tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. Amniotic membrane grafts are often utilized in various medical applications, including wound healing, burns, and surgical procedures. The grafts provide a natural scaffold that supports tissue repair, and their anti-inflammatory properties can aid in minimizing scarring and promoting faster recovery. The use of amniotic membrane grafts represents an innovative approach in regenerative medicine, offering potential benefits in enhancing heal. #woundhealing #woundhealingjourney #woundcare #amnioticmembranewrap

Although stentgrafts have shown higher target lesion patency rates (TLPR) as compared to plain old balloon angioplasty (#POBA) for the treatment of cephalic arch stenosis (#CAS), edge stenosis is the Achilles heel. How would you treat this edge stenosis (14 months after placement) in a normal-flow single-outflow #RCAVF? Surely, extending the #stentgraft is a valid solution, but it will jail the axillary/subclavian vein and risk future access option. Cephalic turndown is another solution, yet more invasive than endovascular methods. I’ve opted for vessel preparation (#FLEX VP VentureMed Inc.), followed by POBA (#Mustang Boston Scientific) and #DCB (#INPACT Medtronic) with the hope to extend the #TLPR for as long as possible #VascularAccessCenter #Hamburg

It is a peripheral self-expanding stent system consisting of an OTW delivery catheter and a pre-positioned nitinol stent. ATLAS is intended for use in the treatment of stenotic or occlusive lesions of the iliac or femoropopliteal arteries to establish and maintain patency. The ATLAS self-expanding stent is indicated for use in percutaneous intravascular implantation in patients with atherosclerotic, radiation-induced and post-traumatic lesions causing vascular stenosis, hemodynamically significant and difficult to treat with other forms of treatment. #phlebologist #vascular

Did you know that catheterization is one of the oldest urological procedures, dating back thousands of years ago? As early as 3000 B.C., various materials were used to relieve painful urinary retention by forming a hollow catheter shape. These materials included spring onions, rolled up palm leaves or hollow tops of onions*. Luckily, we have come a long way since. Today, intermittent catheterization is a pain-free, quick, and simple procedure that is considered the golden standard for bladder management, for anyone unable to empty the bladder naturally. As a business, we take pride in knowing that we were amongst those who revolutionized the use of urinary catheters by introducing the world’s first hydrophilic catheter in 1983. As technology and science continue to open the door to new possibilities, we remain committed to exploring new materials and a new generation of products that bring a real difference in the lives of our users https://lnkd.in/dADsfiAm *Urotoday, A Brief History of Urinary Catheters
