Patent number: 11974836Abstract: Disclosed herein is a base device with a pump device for applying pressure to a working fluid and a body contact device that can be detachably coupled to one another. A housing of the base device has a contact surface for the body contact device where the contact surface has a passage which can be closed by means of a closing member of a valve device. A spring is provided for applying spring force to move the closing member into a position that closes the passage. The body contact device has a pressure applicator, which can be acted upon by the working fluid, to apply pressure to the finger and a sealing element for creating a fluid connection with the base device. The body contact device has a deflecting means for deflecting the closing member against the spring force in the operating configuration.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: PULSION MEDICAL SYSTEMS SEInventors: Aaron Weber, André Hein

Publication number: 20230000370Abstract: The blood pressure measuring device (1) is designed as a photoplethysmographic measuring system which functions according to the “vascular unloading technique”. Metrological components and a pressure generating and pressure control system are accommodated in the base part (3). The fitted cuff part (2) has an ergonomic palm support (4), two finger supports (6) divided from one another by a web (5), and also a receiving part (7) which comprises two receiving tubes (9) for fingers. The cuff part (2) projects beyond the base part (3), both towards the front and also towards the rear, and covers the base part (3) almost completely, i.e. by more than 90%. The lateral attachment of the cable (8) facing in the direction of the forearm has the advantage that the cable can be guided along the patient's arm, the wrist does not rub against the cable (8), and in particular the carpal tunnel is also protected.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2020Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: PULSION MEDICAL SYSTEMS SEInventors: Aaron Weber, André Hein, Thomas Thalmeier

Publication number: 20230000374Abstract: The two inflatable sleeve cushions (10) which can be arranged in the receiving tubes (9) are each connected by means of a connection (11) at the interface between sleeve part (2) and base part (3) to the pressure generation and pressure control system in the base part (3). A valve device is preferably provided on the connection (11). The channels (19) that connect the respective connection (11) to the respective sleeve cushion (20) are formed in the main body (21) of the receiving body, said main body being produced from plastic by means of injection moulding, and are covered towards the outside by means of a cover (20). The connections (11) are disposed one behind the other in the direction parallel to the axial direction of the receiving tubes (9). From there, each channel (19) is first guided upwards, then diagonally to the side, and finally downwards to the fluid access opening (22) of the respective sleeve cushion (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2020Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: PULSION MEDICAL SYSTEMS SEInventors: Aaron Weber, André Hein

Publication number: 20220273474Abstract: An implant includes a tubular discontinuous structure formed of a plurality of webs that at least partially extend in a longitudinal direction. The plurality of webs includes at least one joint element having a main web substantially extending in the longitudinal direction. There is a continuous gap in the main web. At least one bridge web is arranged next to the main web in a circumferential direction (U) and connected to the main web in the longitudinal direction (A) in front of and behind the gap.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2020Publication date: September 1, 2022Inventors: Karsten Koop, Stephan Rothstock, André Hein, Paul Goebel, Imanol Flores, Andreas Hof

Publication number: 20220054260Abstract: A vascular implant, in particular a prosthetic heart valve, for providing valve function, has a stent structure with a proximal conical-convex inflow region, a distal, linear cylindrical outflow region, an intermediate transition region, and a corresponding valve arrangement. When the stent structure is in the expanded state, a higher maximum radial force exists in the inlet region in direct comparison to the lower maximum radial force in the outlet region and in the transition region.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2019Publication date: February 24, 2022Inventors: Karsten Koop, André Hein, Paul Goebel, Imanol Flores, Andreas Hof, Ulrich Sitz, Maik Neitzel, Thomas Kuske, Max Linde, Stephan Rothstock, Matteo Astorino, Giuseppe Pisani

Publication number: 20210307632Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring device for continuously determining the intra-arterial blood pressure in a finger of a hand, the measuring device comprises a base part and a cuff part. A light source for near-infrared light and a photodetector are provided for the finger. The light sources and the photodetectors are connected to an associated optical emission surface or optical collector surface via a respective so-called light pipe for coupling emitted light into the finger tissue or decoupling non-absorbed light from the finger tissue. The cuff-side and base-part-side sections of the light pipes are connected to one another via separable optical contact points at the interface between the cuff part and the base part. On the base-part side, a cover glass closes flush with the housing of the base part and is attached to the contact points.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2019Publication date: October 7, 2021Inventors: Torsten SCHEUERMANN, Aaron WEBER, André HEIN, Thomas THALMEIER
