Title: Surface electrical stimulation for increasing the quality and quantity of synovial fluid in joints
Inventor: CARROLL WILLIAM J
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2003-09-11
Granted: 2011-03-29
Abstract: An electro-medical device and method for improving synovial fluid at a body segment having a joint by applying surface electrical stimulation using surface skin electrodes to the body segment. The electrical stimulation to the body segment and joint may be continuous or in a sequencing pattern. When the electrical stimulation uses a sequencing pattern, it mimics normal electrical sequencing of surrounding muscle of the joint during normal functioning activity. Surface electrical stimulation improves synovial fluid of the body segment and joint and ameliorates degenerative joint disease and osteoarthritis.

Abstract: La présente invention qui concerne un dispositif de vis d'ancrage, DVA, est un dispositif mécanique qui permet de fixer, dans le corps, des structures du type tube creux, tels que des vaisseaux sanguins et des uretères. Ce dispositif facilite le positionnement des aiguilles ou des cathéters dans les vaisseaux sanguins et les empêche de tomber et de sortir du vaisseau ou bien encore de 'se promener'' dans le vaisseau. Le DVA peut être utilisé dans toutes les situations médicales interventionnelles à des fins de diagnostic ou de thérapie. Le DVA est très facile à fixer sur la paroi du vaisseau. Le vissage est une technique rapide qui économise le temps d'intervention et qui ne nécessite que des talents de microchirurgie de base. La fabrication est simple. Il faut bien comprendre que ce dispositif n'est donné qu'à titre d'illustration et qu'il n'est pas limitatif, et que d'autre part des modifications peuvent être apportées par les personnes qualifiées dans l'art, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.

Title: Contoured, reinforced and adjustable seat cushion and method for offloading pressure from skeletal bone prominences and encouraging proper postural alignment
Inventor: HETZEL THOMAS R
IPC: A61G5/10
Filed: 2004-07-26
Granted: 2011-12-20
Abstract: A support contour of a cushion, such as a wheelchair cushion, defines relief areas at locations adjacent to skin covering the ischial tuberosities, the greater trochanters and the coccyx and sacrum of a person sitting on the support contour. Support areas of the support contour transfer force into the pelvic area adjacent to skin covering tissue masses on opposite lateral sides of the posterior buttocks and beneath the proximal thighs of the person. Risks of pressure ulcers from pressure and shear forces on bony prominences is reduced while providing support at the broader areas without bony prominences in such a manner to encourage postural alignment. A support member attached to a rear corner of the cushion is retained to resist deformation of the support contour from contact with the person and to adjust the support contour for better support of the pelvic area.
