Publication number: 20230032649Abstract: Craniofacial implants for neuroplastic surgery structured for filling cranial bone voids in the skull designed, shaped and manufactured to address problems including cranioplasty failure, soft tissue thinning above the implant, overlying scalp atrophy leading to contour irregularities and/or scalp breakdown with exposure/infection, ineffective pre-fabricated shapes with sharp corners requiring manually bending or cutting the implants for proper form/shape, and additional operative time and anesthesia morbidity, and a need to spend time hand-trimming prong edges along the perimeter to ensure an absence of sharp edges and/or corners capable of injuring the scalp/soft tissue above, leading to chronic pain.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventor: Chad GORDON

Publication number: 20230000616Abstract: An anatomy-specific implant for neuroplastic surgery. The implant includes a soft tissue implant component designed within and adapted to replace or restore missing soft tissue in a skull, joint or spine of the patient, wherein the soft tissue implant component is adapted to be coupled by an interdigitated connection to a rigid component. The rigid component can be a skull implant adapted to replace missing cranial or vertebral bone, or healthy cranial or vertebral bone, either of which can have downward extending catheters for medicinal brain or spinal cord infusion to help bypass the blood-brain barrier via multiphase flow. The soft tissue implant may include a functional component having neurotechnologies such as MRI-lucent pumps, Bluetooth connection systems, refillable diaphragms, remote imaging devices, wireless charging capabilities, and/or informative biosensors. The soft tissue implant component may be interchangeable with another soft tissue implant component in plug-and-play fashion.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: CraniUS LLCInventor: Chad GORDON

Patent number: 11504241Abstract: Patient-specific craniofacial implants structured for filling bone voids or planned bone voids in the cranium and face as well as for simultaneously providing soft tissue reconstruction and/or augmentation for improved aesthetic symmetry and appearance of face and skull. Pterional or temporal voids or defects generally result from a chronic skull or lateral facial deformity along with a compromised temporalis muscle or soft tissue distortion from previous surgery. When muscle and fat atrophy occurs in the pterion or temporal face, temporal hollowing deformity generally results where there would be soft tissue but for the atrophy. The patient-specific craniofacial implants with dual-purpose herein are configured to have an augmented region adjacent the temporal region of the face and cranium in order to prevent and/or correct any such temporal hollowing deformity and to utilize this newfound space to strategically embed implantable neurotechnologies for improved outcomes.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2022Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Plastic Surgery LLCInventor: Chad Gordon

Publication number: 20220331112Abstract: Provided herein are cranial implant devices that include at least one acoustic, optical, and/or photoacoustic lens element comprising one or more electromagnetically translucent, electromagnetically transparent, sonolucent, and/or acoustically active materials. The cranial implant devices are structured for subgaleal scalp implantation within, beneath, and/or over at least one cranial opening of a subject and typically includes a substantially anatomically-compatible shape. In addition, the cranial implant devices permit transcranial therapeutic ultrasound, transcranial diagnostic ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging, electromagnetic wave diagnostic imaging, and/or electromagnetic wave therapeutic intervention of intracranial matter of the subject via the acoustic, optical, and/or photoacoustic lens element when the cranial implant device is subgalealy implanted within, beneath, and/or over the cranial opening of the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2020Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Chad GORDON, Micah BELZBERG, Amir MANBACHI

Publication number: 20220296375Abstract: Provided herein are cranial implant devices that include a cranial implant housing configured for subgaleal scalp implantation within, beneath, and/or over at least one cranial opening of a subject. The cranial implant housing comprises a substantially anatomically-compatible shape and is fabricated from one or more sonolucent materials that permit transmission of mechanical waves through the sonolucent materials when the cranial implant device is subgaleally implanted. The cranial implant housing also includes a pressure sensor operably connected to the cranial implant housing, which pressure sensor is configured to sense intracranial pressure (ICR). The cranial implant housing also includes at least a first controller operably connected to the pressure sensor, which first controller is configured to selectively effect the pressure sensor to sense the ICR within a cranium of the subject to generate ICP data and to transmit the ICP data to an ICP data receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2020Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Chad GORDON, Netanel BEN-SHALOM
