20120330192 | Biomedical Interface Pressure Transducer for Medical Tourniquets - A biomedical interface pressure transducer which is useful for interposing between a limb or tissue and an occlusive band, tourniquet cuff or other biomedical apparatus in order to estimate the pressure and pressure gradient applied to a selected area of the limb or tissue is disclosed. The pressure transducer comprises a modified MEMS pressure sensor and a conformable semisolid body enclosed in a shear relief membrane which translates the pressure applied by the occlusive band to the modified MEMS pressure sensor mounted on a flexible substrate with patterned electrical interconnect tracks allowing the connection of the pressure sensor to digital communication and control circuitry. | 12-27-2012 |
20110251637 | Internal Tourniquet Method - An internal tourniquet and method for establishing hemostasis within a portion of a limb to facilitate surgery controls flow of a fluid into a capsule surrounding substantially all of a human joint. Blood concentration in the capsule is sensed; and pressure in the capsule is controlled to maintain a fluid pressure in the capsule within a predetermined pressure tolerance window. The concentration of blood in the capsule is maintained below a predetermined maximum concentration while the fluid pressure is within the pressure tolerance window. | 10-13-2011 |
20100191277 | Ultrasonic Tourniquet System - A system for controlling blood flow through a zone of a patient limb, the zone being bounded by a proximal end and a distal end, comprises: a cuff configured for securing to the limb and for covering the zone, the cuff being inflatable to provide pressure to the zone for occluding the flow of blood flowing through the zone in the direction from the proximal to distal ends of the zone; an array of sensors fitting between the cuff and the limb and arranged for sensing and signaling the amount of penetration of blood flow into the zone; and a control instrument connected to the array and to the cuff for regulating the pressure in the cuff to occlude the blood flow in the zone depending upon the amount of blood flow penetration signaled by the array. | 07-29-2010 |
