Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080287824Systems and Methods for Locating A Blood Vessel - Systems and methods for locating a blood vessel are described. One described method includes receiving a first temperature measure associated with a first point on a surface of a skin; receiving a second temperature measure associated with a second point on the surface of the skin, and determining a differential between the first temperature measure and the second temperature measure. The method further includes generating an output signal indicating the presence of a blood vessel if the differential exceeds a threshold.11-20-2008
20110015585METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROVIDING INTERMITTENT NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND HEALING - A method and device for providing intermittent negative pressure wound healing which includes equipped to (a) apply a negative pressure compressible therapeutic dressing about a wound; (b) compress the therapeutic dressing using negative pressure to subject the wound and the therapeutic dressing to a first predetermined pressure which is low enough to provide therapy to the wound and high enough to maintain a seal between the dressing and the wound; and (c) decompress the therapeutic dressing to a second sub-atmospheric pressure above the first predetermined pressure sufficient to maintain the dressing in a generally sealed contact with the wound while relaxing compression about the wound.01-20-2011
20110015587Irrigation Device and Method Using Same - A disposable therapeutic device for the promotion of wound healing providing fluid irrigation and vacuum drainage of a wound includes a housing containing a controller and fluid moving device in a waterproof manner, a fluid mover capable of raising, compressing, or transferring fluid, a controller equipped to restrict fluid moving device in accordance with a predetermined treatment plan or duration, a chargeable power source removably connected to the housing, an optional therapeutic member of a compressible dressing or inflatable cuff to provide hemostasis, an identification member for regulating the operation of the device in accordance with a predetermined treatment plan, a disposable container, a pressure sensor and a control display panel. The fluid includes, but is not limited to, Lactoferrin, Xylitol, Dakins Solution, Polyhexanide and Hypochlorous Acid.01-20-2011
20110015589DISPOSABLE THERAPEUTIC DEVICE - A disposable therapeutic device for the promotion of wound healing, providing fluid irrigation and vacuum drainage of a wound includes a housing containing a controller and fluid moving device in a waterproof manner, the fluid moving means capable of raising, compressing, or transferring fluid, the controller equipped to restrict fluid moving device in accordance with a predetermined treatment plan or duration, a chargeable power source removably connected to the housing, an optional therapeutic member of a compressible dressing or inflatable cuff to provide hemostasis, an identification member for regulating the operation of the device in accordance with a predetermined treatment plan, a disposable container, a pressure sensor and a control display panel.01-20-2011
20110015590DISPOSABLE THERAPEUTIC DEVICE - A therapeutic device of the type which includes a fluid moving device for one of raising, compressing, or transferring fluid, a therapeutic member operably connected to the fluid moving device and actuated thereby, the therapeutic member operably disposable for use on a patient in a manner to deliver therapy to the patient as function of actuation of the fluid moving device, wherein the improvement includes a rechargeable power source operably connected to the fluid flowing device which includes a portable renewable energy producing device for powering the fluid moving device.01-20-2011
20110015592DIFFUSER DISK FOR NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY - A diffuser for use with a disposable therapeutic device for the promotion of wound healing, providing vacuum drainage and fluid irrigation of a wound includes a substrate having an opening larger than an opening for a conventional suction port to aid in removal of exudate and provide distributed therapeutic suction.01-20-2011
20110086632OBJECT RANGE DETECTOR AND LOCK DOWN DEVICE - A range detector system includes an safety system, a first electronic object, and a second electronic object, wherein the first and second electronic objects are wirelessly communicably connected in a manner equipped such that when the first object and the second object are moved from a first predetermined distance range from each other to a second predetermined distance range from each other, the safety system is operably deployed on at least one the first and the second objects is activated.04-14-2011
20110106058Adhesive Flange Attachment Reinforcer For Suction Port - An adhesive flange attachment reinforcer for a suction port of tubing for a wound healing device includes a polymer film which has one side including an adhesive wherein the film includes a slit extending inwardly from an edge of the film and defines an opening to receive the flange of a suction port therethrough. The reinforcer includes at least one aspect of its peripheral configuration which is larger than the peripheral configuration of the suction port and interconnection thereof with a treatment site which includes use of a semi-permeable and flexible plastic sheet having an opening therein which is generally aligned with the suction port and to which the reinforcer adheres. A disposable therapeutic device includes employing the suction port which can include the reinforcer.05-05-2011
20110112490Releasably Sealable Wound Dressing for NPWT - A therapeutic device having a hydrogel drape and a method of treatment using the same.05-12-2011
20110112494Method and device for providing intermittent negative pressure wound healing - A therapeutic device for providing intermittent negative pressure wound healing includes a fluid mover, a compressible therapeutic member operably connected to the fluid mover and actuated thereby, the compressible therapeutic member operably disposably used on a patient in a manner to deliver therapy to the patient as function of actuation of the fluid mover and a controller for controlling application of a negative pressure to the compressible therapeutic member about a wound in a manner to compress the compressible therapeutic member using negative pressure to subject the wound and the compressible therapeutic member to a first predetermined pressure to maintain a seal between the compressible therapeutic member and the wound and decompressing the compressible therapeutic member to a second sub-atmospheric pressure above the first predetermined pressure sufficient to maintain the compressible therapeutic member in generally sealed contact with the wound.05-12-2011
