  • Ostomy pump system and related methods of use and manufacture
    Patent number: 10028893
    Abstract: A device for refeeding bowel content of a subject configured to cover a proximal ostomy of a subject and a distal member configured to cover a distal ostomy of a subject. The device may include a bowel lumen member configured to carry bowel contents between the proximal ostomy and the distal ostomy. A method for refeeding bowel content of a subject by disposing a bowel lumen member between a proximal ostomy and distal ostomy, wherein the bowel member is configured to carry bowel contents between the proximal ostomy and the distal ostomy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 18, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 24, 2018
    Assignee: University of Virginia Patent Foundation
    Inventors: Bartholomew J. Kane, Eileen S. Cadel, Natalie A. Powers

  • Wound healing device
    Patent number: 8057446
    Abstract: Methods and devices transmit micromechanical forces locally on the millimeter to micron scale for promoting wound healing. Micromechanical forces can selectively be applied directly to tissue, in some embodiments, by using microchambers fluidically connected to microchannels. Each chamber, or in some cases, group of chambers, may be associated with a valve to control vacuum pressure, positive pressure, liquid delivery, and/or liquid removal from each chamber or group of chambers. Application of embodiments of the invention may shorten wound-healing time, reduce costs of therapy, enable restoration of functional tissue, and reduce the need for more invasive therapies, including surgery.
