Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090149084Biomedical Electrode Connectors - A biomedical electrode connector for coupling with a biomedical electrode of the type including an electrode base and a male terminal projecting from the electrode base is provided.06-11-2009
20090149731ECG Electrode Connector - Disclosed is an ECG electrode lead wire connector which provides improved electrical and mechanical coupling of the ECG electrode press stud to the lead wire, provides enhanced ergonomics to the clinician, and may alleviate patient discomfort associated with the attachment and removal of ECG leads. The connector may be engaged and disengaged with little or no force imparted to the patient or the ECG pad, which significantly minimizes the risk of inadvertent dislodgement of the pad. In one embodiment the disclosed connector provides a thumb cam lever which affirmatively engages the press stud to the connector, and provides tactile feedback to the clinician that the connector is properly engaged. In other embodiments, the connector provides a pushbutton to enable the clinician to easily engage and disengage the connector from the ECG stud. The disclosed connectors may also decrease clinician fatigue, and may provide more reliable ECG results.06-11-2009
20090270710Novel Electrodes - The present disclosure provides electrodes that possess components capable of indicating to an end-user when the electrode is in need of replacement.10-29-2009
20100059722Conductive Compositions and Method - Conductive compositions for use with medical electrodes are provided. The conductive compositions utilize a surfactant capable of both reducing the surface tension of the conductive composition as well as increasing the viscosity of the conductive composition. Methods of preparing these conductive compositions are also provided.03-11-2010
20100266671Device and Method for Treating Dermal Tissue - The present disclosure provides gel compositions useful for treating the skin. The gel compositions are hydrogels that include from about 33 wt % to about 68 wt % of a humectant or a mixture of humectants; about 0 wt % to about 8 wt % of an electrolyte or mixture of electrolytes; from about 2 wt % to about 20 wt % of water; from about 18 wt % to about 45 wt % of a copolymer. The copolymer includes, in polymerized form, from about 80 mol % to about 95 mol % of a first monomer, which is a mixture of acrylic acid and a salt thereof, from about 5 mol % to 20 mol % of a second monomer, which can be a salt of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, and, optionally a crosslinking agent. In embodiments, the gel composition has a pH of about 7.0 or less. The dermal patches of the present disclosure may be utilized in skin care, and may include the application of the patch, its removal, and re-application to tissue.10-21-2010
20110117793Biomedical Electrode Connectors - A biomedical electrode connector for coupling with a biomedical electrode of the type including an electrode base and a male terminal projecting from the electrode base is provided.05-19-2011
20110230925Electrode Delivery System - According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an automatic external defibrillator configured to deliver electrical pulses and/or shocks to a heart of a patient during a cardiac emergency is provided and includes a housing supporting an electrical connector; a defibrillator electrode delivery system supported on the housing; and a pair of defibrillation electrode pads supported by the defibrillator electrode delivery system. Each of the pair of defibrillation electrode pads is pre-connected to the electrical connector of the housing. A hydrogel layer of each defibrillation electrode pad is retained by the defibrillator electrode delivery system in such a manner so as to reduce a moisture vapor transmission rate thereof.09-22-2011
