Title: Magnetic nerve stimulator for exciting peripheral nerves
Inventor: DAVEY KENT R
IPC: A61N2/04
Filed: 1995-11-28
Abstract: A magnetic nerve stimulator system is comprised of a core of highly saturable material with a coil winding. A thyrister capacitive discharge circuit pulses the device. A rapidly changing magnetic field is guided by the core, preferably vanadium permendur. For task specific excitation of various nerve groups, specially constructed cores allow for excitation of nerves at deeper levels with higher efficiency than is possible with an air core stimulator.      Among the applications possible with this invention are treatment of incontinence, rehabilitation of large muscle groups in the leg and arm, and excitation of abdominal wall muscle groups to aid in weight loss and metabolic rate increase. A C-shape is employed for focussing the stimulation as desired.

Title: Shielded needle assembly
Inventor: SZABO SANDOR
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 1997-06-12
Abstract: A shielded needle assembly including an elongate needle with a proximal end, a distal end and a passageway therethrough. The assembly has a needle hub with a proximal end, a distal end and an outside surface. The proximal end of the needle is fitted and held in an axial opening through the needle hub at the distal end of the needle hub, with the distal end of the needle projecting distally axially. The proximal end of the needle hub is configured for releasable mounting the needle hub on a fluid handling device. The assembly of the invention has a shield with an open proximal end, a distal end, a sidewall having an elongate opening extending from the proximal end to the open end. The shield is operative between an open position, where the needle is exposed for use by passage through the elongate opening, a closed position, where the shield substantially obstructs access to the needle, and a latched position, where the shield is substantially prevented from inadvertent movement to the open position. The shield is attached to the needle hub by a mount with a hinge. The shield is movable between the open position and the closed position by an off axis pivotal movement about the hinge, and between the closed position and the latched position by an axial movement of the shield with respect to the mount.
