Sofsilk™ Coated Braided Silk Sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.

Sofsilk™ 6/0 and 7/0 black braided silk sutures are nonabsorbable, sterile, non-mutagenic surgical sutures composed of natural proteinaceous silk fibers called fibroin. This protein is derived from the domesticated silkworm species Bombyx mori of the family bombycidae. The silk fibers are treated to remove the naturally-occurring sericin gum and braided to produce Sofsilk™ surgical silk sutures. The braided sutures are coated uniformly with silicone to reduce capillarity and to increase surface lubricity, which enhances handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue, and knot run-down properties. Sofsilk™ sutures are colored black with Logwood extract (21CFR73.1410). Sofsilk™ sutures meet all requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopeia (EP) for nonabsorbable surgical sutures, Sofsilk™ Coated Braided Silk Suture. Sofsilk™ sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.

The BISTM Advance Monitoring System is intended for monitoring the state of the brain by data acquisition of EEG signals under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner or by personnel trained in its proper use. The BISTM Advance Monitoring System, and all its associated parameters, is intended for use on adults and pediatric patients (4 years old and above) within a hospital or medical facility. For Adult patients, the BIS™ Index, one of the BIS™ Advance Monitoring System's output parameters, may be used to guide anesthetic administration of desflurane, propofol and sevoflurane with balanced anesthetic techniques in order to monitor the anesthetic effects on the brain. The use of the BIS™ Index for monitoring may be associated with the following when used with propofol anesthesia: reduction in primary anesthetic use; reduction in emergence and recovery time; and reduction in incidence of awareness with recall. For pediatric patients, ages 4 and above, the BIS™ Index, one of the BIS™ Advance Monitoring System's output parameters, may be used to guide anesthetic administration of sevoffurane with balanced anesthetic techniques in order to monitor the anesthetic effects on the brain. The use of the BIS™ Index in pediatric patients, when used with sevothurane anesthesia, has demonstrated a reduction in primary anesthetic use.

The BIS™ Advance Monitoring System is a user-configurable patient monitoring system designed to monitor the hypnotic state of the brain based on acquisition and processing of EEG signals. It processes raw EEG signals to produce a single number, called the Bispectral Index, or BIS value, which correlates with the patient's level of hypnosis. The BIS™ Advance Monitoring system is comprised of the following components: BIS™ Advance Monitor, BIS™ Advance Docking Station, BIS™ Advance Adapter Cable, GCX Mounting Accessory, BISx/BISx4 Module, Patient Interface Cable (PIC) and Monitor Interface Cable (MIC). The BIS™ Advance Monitor displays: - The current BIS™ number . - . Raw EEG waveforms in real time - . Various signal quality indicators (EMG. SQI) - 트 Trend graphs of processed EEG parameters (including various options) - I Processed EEG variables: - . Electromyography (EMG) - Signal Quality Index (SQI) - . Suppression Ratio (SR) - . Burst Count (BURST) (for Extend Sensor and four-channel monitoring only) - . Suppression Time (ST) - I Spectral Edge Frequency (SEF) - Median Frequency (MF) - EEG Power Asymmetry Index (ASYM) (for four-channel monitoring only) - I Alarm Indicator and Messages The BIS™ Advance Monitor displays 2 channels of EEG when connected to the BISx module and a unilateral BIS sensor (BIS™ Extend Sensor, BIS™ Pediatric Sensor and BIS™ Quatro Sensor) and displays 4 channels of EEG, two from each side of the brain, when connected to the BISx4 module and BIS™ Bilateral Sensor. For both the 2-channel and the 4-channel systems, BIS monitoring is implemented as follows: A sensor placed on the patient's head transmits EEG signals to the BISx module. The BISx module filters the data, analyzes it for artifacts and processes it using digital signal processing techniques, then sends the data to the monitor for display. The purpose of processing the EEG waveform data is to extract characteristic features from the complex signal in order to provide easier pattern recognition of changes over time during the recording.
