20110302718WEIGHT-STABILIZING STRETCHER - A flat backboard for an injured person to lie upon is supported between two rigid support poles. The support poles are connected at each end of the stretcher to each other by an elevated support assembly. The support assembly has a handlebar structure and a mount assembly; this mount assembly has a central axle, around which the handlebar assembly fits, allowing for the handlebars to rotate without the mount assembly or the backboard rotating. When the holder of the handlebars generates a rocking motion, the central shaft rotates in the mount assembly, such that the weight of the injured person is supported by the mount assembly, but the rocking motion is not communicated to the mount assembly or the backboard.12-15-2011

20090171157CATHETER BASED BALLOON FOR THERAPY MODIFICATION AND POSITIONING OF TISSUE - An apparatus and method for shielding non-target tissues and organs during thermotherapy, brachytherapy or other treatment of a diseased target tissue. The apparatus includes a catheter shaft having input and output lumens and at least one inflatable balloon. A plurality of input lumens within the catheter shaft allows the passage of liquid or gas through an input port and into the interior of the balloon thereby inflating the balloon. The gas or liquid can then be cycled through the inflated balloon through an output port and output lumen and out of the catheter shaft. Temperature sensors or other sensors may be attached to the balloon or catheter to monitor temperature or other conditions at the treatment site. The catheter is positioned between the target tissue or organ and sensitive non-target tissues in proximity to the target tissue and inflated causing a physical separation of tissues as well as a physical shield.07-02-2009
20110073115TRACHEAL CUFF FOR PROVIDING SEAL WITH REDUCED PRESSURE ON THE TRACHEAL WALLS - According to various embodiments, a tracheal tube may include a cuff assembly that relies on mechanical pressure rather than inflation pressure to form a seal against a patient's trachea. Such cuff assemblies may include cone or umbrella-shaped structures that may form seals at substantially lower pressures than traditional inflation cuffs. One or more of such cuff assemblies may be used instead of or in addition to an inflation cuff to provide an improved seal.03-31-2011
