  • Patent number: 6443883
    Abstract: A multi-functional, modular PEMF biophysical stimulation field generator device and healing system using small coils and a PEMF technique to create a high magnetic flux penetration into hard and soft tissues for treatment of a variety of conditions, including fractures and osteoporosis, to achieve an anticipated shorter healing and rehabilitation time. The orthogonally-arranged coils are sequentially-activated to develop a rotating cylindrical energy field focussed on a target area so as to stimulate bone growth. An activation signal having a combined waveform is used to activate the coils, comprising a high frequency carrier wave, which is amplitude-modulated, by a low frequency treatment wave for optimal penetration of biological tissue. In a preferred embodiment, a pre-form wrap is provided as a cast, brace or splint, containing small magnetizing coils, with the wrap being placed circumferentially around the body part containing the treatment site.

  • Patent number: 6009346
    Abstract: An automated transdermal robotic treatment and drug delivery system to provide multimodal therapies and treatments to a patient. The movement of a robotic arm is preprogrammed to apply such treatment and medicine delivery to the skin of the patient in a desired sequence of movement. The robotic arm can fuirther be used for diagnosis and other medical treatments.

  • Patent number: 5983134
    Abstract: A flexible cuff for wrapping around a part of a limb, that is comprised of multiple biosensing patch units of a required size and shape to fit the body contour for applying to an area of skin. The cuff has an array of flexible porous (polymer) electrodes held at constant potential with alternating polarities. A network of supply tubes connected to an external liquid reservoir provides a slow supply of medicated fluid to each electrode. A pump/titration regulator is in communication with the transdermal electrode to regulate permeant flow to the skin. An electric and an electromagnetic field applied through the cuff then causes the drug to be rapidly absorbed throughout the skin. The electrodes within the cuff, or the applicator pads which it is comprised of, can be additionally used for applying electromagnetic, Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation, and for Electrical Muscle Stimulation.
