  • Impactor platform allowing freefall upon impact
    Patent number: 11963848
    Abstract: Devices and systems are disclosed which reduce compressional forces and allows for the induction of mild CCI injuries. An exemplary device features a resettable fall-away platform which allows for ultra-mild injuries to be induced on mice that are under light anesthesia. The result is injuries which do not produce long periods of unconsciousness, do not cause compressive injury and cause no increase in time-to-righting over control mice.
