This image was used by the graft manufacturer to show placement options for the biological graft including onlay, retromuscular, preperitoneal and intraperitoneal placement.
medical illustration of Illustration for a scientific journal article that flips the concept that the disease starts with tangles of alpha-synuclein proteins, but may very well be caused by the inability of cells to rid themselves of toxic materials leading to clumps of damaged cell contents (alpha-synuclein and other damaged cell organelles) to form Lewy bodies in the neuron.
medical illustration of Postpartum hemorrhage is consistently one of the top three causes of maternal mortality and is often the leading cause of maternal death even in developed countries. This balloon tamponade device creates pressure on the uterine wall to help stop bleeding after delivery.
medical illustration of Journal cover image about duration of dual antiplatelet therapy following angioplasty. Antiplatelet medicines work to keep platelets from sticking together and forming blood clots. There have been many recent studies debating whether shorter or longer courses of dual antiplatelet therapy are better for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
medical illustration of Amnion perforators are used to puncture the amniotic sac (amniotomy) during labor. This illustration was used for a medical device manufacturer’s marketing materials.
medical illustration of The illustration was for a cardiology journal cover article about the endovascular options for the treatment of stroke and blockage of the carotid arteries.
medical illustration of Bacteria-infecting viruses, or bacteriophages look like they were created for a sci-fi movie, but they really are naturally occurring viruses that selectively target and kill specific bacterial strains and are harmless to humans, animals, and plants. There are more bacteriophages on the planet that any other organism, including bacteria. Scientists are researching ways to use phages in biomedicine to treat antibiotic resistant bacterial infections.
medical illustration of Recent cover illustration for a cardiology journal article about adding physiological assessment to enhance angiography clinical decision making. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are both indices that use the concept of flow reserve to evaluate the severity of a coronary stenosis.
medical illustration of Cardiology journal illustration depicting the human cardiovascular system including the heart and major arteries and veins.
medical illustration of These illustrations were created for a medical device company to describe common spinal disc injuries. Intervertebral discs act as cushions between vertebrae in the spine. Degenerative disc disease is a term used to describe the changes to spinal discs as we age. When a disc bulges, it can put pressure on the spinal nerves, causing pain. In herniated discs, the jelly-like fluid within the disc leaks out due to a rupture in the annulus. This also causes pressure on the spinal nerves and pain.
medical illustration of Journal cover illustration about the difficulties and options for the treatment of superficial femoral artery disease (SFA).
medical illustration of Spinal fusion is the most widely performed surgery for scoliosis. This illustration was intended to demonstrate a spinal fixation device for correction of posterior spine defects.
medical illustration of The hiatus is an opening in the diaphragm (the muscular wall separating the chest cavity from the abdomen). Typically, the esophagus goes through the hiatus and attaches to the stomach. In a hiatal hernia the stomach bulges up into the chest through that opening. This illustration depicts a hernia repair with a graft.
medical illustration of Cardiogenic shock occurs when the heart can't pump enough blood to the body. Cardiogenic shock is the leading cause of death in acute myocardial infarction. Symptoms of cardiogenic shock include rapid breathing and heartbeat (tachycardia), mental confusion, sweating, weak pulse and poor tissue perfusion.
medical illustration of This illustration demonstrates a rectovaginal fistula repair with a biological material plug. The procedure repairs a fistula or hole between the vagina and rectum. This illustration was created for a medical device manufacturer’s marketing and educational materials.
medical illustration of Atherectomy is a minimally invasive endovascular technique for removing plaque build-up from blood vessels in the heart and in other areas of the body. In catheter-directed atherectomy, an interventional radiologist uses a catheter to reach the site of the blockage and either cut, shave, sand or vaporize the clot with lasers.
medical illustration of Esophagogastric fundoplication procedure to relieve chronic acid reflux caused by gastroesophogeal valve defect.
medical illustration of Otitis externa refers to an inflammation of the dog's outer ear, which is commonly caused by bacterial or yeast infection. This illustration was created to demonstrate the mode of action for a veterinary company’s new ointment.
medical illustration of Dislocation is an uncommon, but potential complication to hip replacement surgery. This illustration demonstrates the failure of a metal on metal hip implant.
medical illustration of The outside of the bone consists of a layer of connective tissue called the periosteum. The outer shell of the long bone is compact bone with a deeper layer of cancellous bone (spongy bone) which contains red bone marrow. The interior part of the long bone is the medullary cavity with the inner core of the bone cavity being composed of yellow marrow. This image was used in patient education materials.
medical illustration of Occipital Nerve Stimulation (ONS) therapy consists of applying mild electrical stimulation to the nerves via wires implanted just under the skin, near the occipital nerves at the base of the head. The wires are connected to an implanted battery that generates the stimulation, which interferes with pain signals and may evoke the sensation of tingling or paresthesia. This illustration was created as a 3D image with 2D illustration enhancements.
medical illustration of Journal cover illustration about transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with aortic stenosis at intermediate or low risk for surgery. Currently, the two TAVR devices approved in the US are indicated only for patients at high risk or extreme risk/inoperable, but the literature is now showing that TAVR benefits patients intermediate or low risk for surgery.
medical illustration of A rotator cuff tear is a tear in one of the tendons of the four rotator cuff muscles in the shoulder. This illustration was used as a journal cover illustration demonstrating the repair of a u-shaped rotator cuff tear.
