| Pressure reduction therapy beds | Pressure Reduction Therapy is used primarily in the treatment of pressure ulcerations, severe burns, skin graphs and open wounds resulting from massive trauma. These beds provide redistribution of the patient's weight and reduction in surface interface pressures, thereby maintaining proper blood flow. The beds included in this group are comprised of a series of cushions that are fed by a manifold that is attached to a blower or motor that pushes air through the cushions. This treatment also helps to prevent the development of additional pressure ulcerations and helps to provided wound infection control. Patients suffering from long-term immobility suffer from increased pressure between the skin and the support surface on which they are placed. This pressure causes the compression of the patient's tissues between the support surface and the patient's bone resulting in the reduction of blood flow to the affected areas. After a period of time, generally a matter of minutes, toxins and chemical wastes produced by the body's tissues along with oxygen deprivation result in the necrosis or death of the affected tissues. | Durable medical equipment |

| Seprafilm | Seprafilm is a unique bioresorbable membrane that serves as a barrier to separate opposing tissue within the body. The use of Seprafilm significantly reduces the incidence, severity, and extent of post-surgical adhesions which are a natural consequence of surgery and lead to serious postoperative complications. Seprafilm is inserted prior to closure of the wound to prevent the adhesion of two surfaces of tissue. Post-surgical adhesions can occur after both open and laproscopic surgery. They result from the normal process of tissue repair and form when tissue surfaces that are usually separated become united. The complications resulting from adhesion vary depending on the type of surgery involved, and can include bowel obstruction, infertility, and difficulty in reoperative procedures. Due to the serious nature of the complications, it is an important objective to reduce the occurrence of adhesion. | Prosthetic device |

| Gastric Bands | Gastric bands are used to correct morbid obesity in patients that re generally unable to regulate their caloric intake. They are prescription-only implanted devices that are placed around the top portion of the stomach via a minimally invasive "keyhole" or laproscopic surgical procedure. The placement of the band creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach that holds a volume of approximately 50 milliliters. The pouch fills quickly with food and also slows the passage of partially digested food from the top to the bottom of the stomach. As the upper part of the stomach believes it is "full" or satiated, the message to the brain is that the stomach is full and this sensation of satiation helps the person to eat smaller portions, eat less and therefore lose weight over time. | Prosthetic device |

While most commonly used in conjunction with breast reconstruction following a mastectomy (cancerous breast removal) procedure, tissue expanders are also used to facilitate replacement skin that has been compromised due to the presence of certain skin cancers, as well as to repair skin damaged by birth defects, accidents or surgery. In certain instances, the expander remains in the body indefinitely, particularly in the case of certain types of breast reconstruction procedures. | Prosthetic device |

After positioning the device in the stomach, the balloon is inflated by introducing saline solution solution through the placement catheter. Once filled, the catheter is removed. the balloon has a self-sealing valve and remains inflated in the stomach. Weight loss is achieved as the balloon displaces a certain volume in the stomach (typically 400 to 700 cc's), to induce the feeling of fullness and support patients in reducing food intake. | Prosthetic device |
