Appl. No.:

13/210733

Inventors:

Christopher L. Radl - Malvern PA, US
Robert Kropp - Norristown PA, US
Allison Lloyd - Spring City PA, US
Pat Paul - Norristown PA, US

Assignee:

BOEHRINGER LABORATORIES LLC - Phoenixville PA

International Classification:

A61H 1/00

US Classification:

601 46

Abstract:

A system and method of use for providing vibratory energy to a portion, e.g., the leg, of a living being for producing a beneficial effect, e.g., relief of RLS symptoms, is disclosed. The system is in the form of an elastic wrap or band arranged to be releasably secured to the portion of the being and holds plural electrical motors, which when operated vibrate. The vibrations of the motors are propagated to the adjacent portion of the being's body and topically apply random-like mechanical stimulations to tendons or ligaments to stimulate proprioceptors of the being. Power for the motors is provided from a power and control source. The elastic wrap is formed of at least one material adapted that is soft and pliable. The motors are arranged to be located at various positions and orientations along the elastic wrap.

US Classification:

604290, 602 57, 604313, 156289

Abstract:

A composite structure, a suction-assisted wound treatment system including the composite structure and a method of making the same is disclosed. The composite structure includes a cover, a stiffener, and a releasable liner. The cover is a thin flexible film having an, upper surface, an undersurface, a principal portion, a pair of marginal edges and an adhesive on the undersurface. The stiffener is releasably secured to the upper surface of the principal portion of the cover and includes a handle which is more rigid than the principal portion of the stiffener. The handle, forms a portion of the undersurface of the stiffener and defines a finger space between it and portion of the cover disposed therebelow. The liner includes at least one section releasably secured to the adhesive of the cover. The stiffener and the handle are removable as a unit from the cover.

International Classification:

A61F 5/00
A61B 17/072

Abstract:

Systems and methods for effecting bariatric procedures are disclosed. Each system includes an instrument, a control valve and, optionally, a suction controller. The instrument is in the form of an elongated, flexible sizing tube having a distal end portion including a plurality of apertures. The control valve enables suction to be applied to the patient's stomach via the apertures to drain gastric fluids and to bring adjacent portions of the patient's stomach into engagement with the sizing tube to provide a visually perceptible delineation line along which a portion of the stomach may be resected, sealed and tested.

International Classification:

A61M 1/00

US Classification:

604120

Abstract:

A suction regulator arranged to be coupled to a source of partial vacuum and a patient circuit and which is operative in four modes is disclosed. A first mode isolates the source of partial vacuum from the patient. A second mode provides continuous regulated suction to the patient. A third mode provides intermittent regulated suction to the patient. The fourth mode provides unregulated full suction to the patient. The regulator includes a movable control knob for establishing the first, second, third and fourth modes and a detent mechanism holding the control knob in the position to select the desired mode. An interlock is also provided to prevent the control knob from being accidentally moved to the position establishing the unregulated full suction mode.
