20100268159 | RETROGRADE CORONARY SINUS PERFUSION CANNULA AND METHODS OF USING SAME - A retrograde coronary sinus perfusion catheter including a tubular catheter body having a proximal end, a distal end, and an inner lumen, and an inflatable balloon spaced proximally from the distal end of the catheter body, wherein the balloon is echogenically enhanced. | 10-21-2010 |
20120024292 | DUAL-LUMEN TRACHEAL TUBE WITH SHAPED LUMEN DIVIDER - Various embodiments of a tracheal tube having a shaped divider disposed therein for separation of a tracheal tube into multiple ventilation lumens are provided. In some embodiments, the divider divides a tracheal ventilation lumen from a bronchial ventilation lumen. In some embodiments, the shaped divider provides an irregular inner diameter that allows a relatively bulky device to be inserted into one or both lumens. | 02-02-2012 |
20130060109 | TECHNIQUE FOR REMANUFACTURING A MEDICAL SENSOR - Remanufactured medical sensors and methods for remanufacturing used medical sensors are provided. Such a remanufactured sensor may include certain components from a used medical sensor and certain new components. For example, a remanufactured regional oximetry sensor may include a padding layer, an emitter and a pair of detectors, a flexible circuit coupled to the emitter and detectors, and a patient-contacting adhesive layer. The flexible circuit, the emitter, the first detector, the second detector, or any combination thereof, are from a used medical sensor, and the padding layer, the patient-contacting adhesive layer, or a combination thereof, are new. | 03-07-2013 |
20130079618 | TECHNIQUE FOR REMANUFACTURING A BIS SENSOR - Remanufactured BIS sensors and methods for remanufacturing used BIS sensors are provided. Such a remanufactured sensor may include certain components from a used medical sensor and certain new components. For example, a remanufactured BIS sensor may include a backing layer and at least first, second, and third electrodes disposed on the backing layer having a conductive ink. The first, second, and third electrodes are adapted to be in electrical contact with a patient to perform BIS measurements. A foam layer may be disposed on at least a portion of the backing layer, and an adhesive may be attached to the foam layer and is configured to secure the remanufactured BIS sensor to the patient. The first electrode, the second electrode, the third electrode, the backing layer, or a combination thereof, may be new and the foam layer, the adhesive, or a combination thereof, may be from a used medical sensor. | 03-28-2013 |
20130085356 | SENSOR SYSTEM WITH PRESSURE APPLICATION - Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sensors for applying pressure to a patient's tissue. According to certain embodiments, the sensors may include one or more deformable elements that hold the optical components of the sensor against the tissue with an appropriate amount of pressure. In additional embodiments, such sensors may include a rigid one-piece sensor body that incorporates a deformable element to facilitate fine-fitting of the sensor against the tissue. | 04-04-2013 |
20140171780 | SENSOR SYSTEM WITH PRESSURE APPLICATION - Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sensors for applying pressure to a patient's tissue. According to certain embodiments, the sensors may include one or more deformable elements that hold the optical components of the sensor against the tissue with an appropriate amount of pressure. In additional embodiments, such sensors may include a rigid one-piece sensor body that incorporates a deformable element to facilitate fine-fitting of the sensor against the tissue. | 06-19-2014 |
20140275816 | WIRELESS PATIENT MONITORING SYSTEM - Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to medical systems having a plurality of separately wireless sensor elements. According to certain embodiments, the sensor elements may be physically separate from each other and may be configured to separately wirelessly communicate with a medical monitor. In some systems, two or more of the sensor elements may function together to monitor a physiological parameter. At least one of the sensor elements may include optical elements for pulse oximetry monitoring or regional saturation monitoring. In certain embodiments, at least one of the sensor elements may include electrodes for bispectral index monitoring. | 09-18-2014 |
20150126831 | MEDICAL SENSOR WITH AMBIENT LIGHT SHIELDING - Medical sensors assemblies with shielding elements are provided that may be applied to a sensor body to reduce ambient light infiltration. In one embodiment, the shielding elements may be applied only about a portion of the sensor body such that an additive pressure of the shielding element and the sensor body on the patient's tissue is reduced. For example, the shielding element may include openings that reduce the total surface area of the sensor body that is covered by the shielding element. In addition, such shielding elements may be provided as separate accessories for a sensor that may be applied only when ambient light infiltration is detected. | 05-07-2015 |
