Patent number: 11234887Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a device for circumduction of a limb having a base, a vertical support operably coupled to and extending away from the base, a rotary member operably connected to the vertical support, a limb support member operably connected to the rotary member, and a motor drivingly engaged with the rotary member. The vertical support may be a rigid plate member, bracket, or frame. The bracket and/or frame may include at least one vertical member and at least one horizontal member. The rotary member is operably connected to the vertical support such that rotary member is free to rotate. Limb support member receives and supports the limb to be treated and is operably coupled to rotary member at a radial distance from a center of rotation thereby resulting in a circular motion of a limb when the motor is operated.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2018Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Inventor: David L.

Patent number: 9840690Abstract: An autologous cell concentrating system and method are disclosed. The system has a blood separation component, a first vessel, a second vessel, a first valve, a second valve, and a concentration and flow logic and control component. The concentration and flow logic and control component is configured to: determine a first volume of a target cell-poor fraction in the first vessel to mix with a target cell-rich fraction in the second vessel in order to form a target cell-rich concentrate having a concentration of target cells that is within a target concentration range; and control the second valve to transfer the first volume of the target cell-rich fraction from the first vessel to the second vessel to form the target cell-rich concentrate. The target concentration range is between 1.0 and 1.5×106 target cells/?L.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2015Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: Greyledge Technologies, LLCInventors: David Karli, David L.

Patent number: 9164079Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatuses for forming concentrates of platelet-rich plasma or bone marrow cells having user-defined concentrations, concentration ranges, and/or volumes. Whole blood or bone marrow samples can be passed through one or two separation operations in which platelets or bone marrow cells are separated from red blood cells and concentrated in a plasma. During this separation and concentrating, a total number of platelets or bone marrow cells or a concentration of either is determined and then used to ascertain what volumes and concentrations need be mixed in order to produce a platelet-rich plasma concentrate or a bone marrow-rich plasma concentrate having a target concentration and/or volume.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2012Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: GREYLEDGE TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: David Karli, David L.
