  • Minimally invasive implantable neurostimulation system
    Patent number: 11957893
    Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

  • Torsion-spring based wind-up auto injector pen with dial-up/dial-down mechanism
    Patent number: 9533106
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic torsion spring based injection device having a dial-up/dial-down mechanism by which a dose can be set by rotating a dose setting member in a first direction and which dose size can be reduced by rotating the same dose setting member in a second and opposite direction. The dial-up/dial-down mechanism operates a torsion spring which is strained when setting a dose and unstained when rotating the dose setting element in the second direction.

  • Medical Device Having Integrated Sequence Control
    Publication number: 20140360623
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical device comprising a base member (2), a container (20) comprising a container interior (28) adapted to accommodate a substance, and a container closure (23) for fluidly sealing the container interior, and fluid connection means (50) for establishing fluid connection to the container interior. A cover (4) removably mountable on a cover receiving portion (36) is operatively coupled with the fluid connection means (50) to cause a relative motion between the fluid connection means (50) and the container closure (23) in response to a relative motion between the cover (4) and the base member (2).
