  • Patent number: 7185656
    Abstract: The device configured in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention comprises a base element having a head support region and an upper body support region. The base element is configured to rest upon a base platform that has an attachment point for securing the base element to the base platform and a joint element that enables movement of the base element into an angled position. A restraint mechanism extends from the base platform and is configured to hold the patient's shoulders in position. Head support elements on each side of the device acts as a mechanism for restricting mobility of the patient's head. By holding the shoulders and head the device is able to also restrict neck movement. Reducing patient movement enables diagnostic angiography using a digital subtraction technique (DSA) of the head, neck, and upper shoulder, as well as both non-catheter-based and catheter-based interventions without motion artifact.

Reducing patient movement enables diagnostic angiography using a digital subtraction technique (DSA) of the head, neck, and upper shoulder, as well as both non-catheter-based and catheter-based interventions without motion artifact. Restricted movement also provides safe access to the patient for critical procedures which require little or no patient motion while maintaining patient comfort.

  • Publication number: 20060174390
    Abstract: One or more embodiments of the invention are directed to an apparatus and method for utilizing an object wrapper and wearable protective cover. An object wrapper and wearable protective cover an object to be wrapped inside of the apparatus wherein the apparatus may be later used as a wearable protective cover. In one or more embodiments of the invention pouches are integrated into the center portion of the object wrapper and wearable protective cover. This allows for each object inserted into the object wrapper and wearable protective cover to remain in a particular location when the object wrapper and wearable protective cover is unfolded and coupled with the wearer. In one or more embodiments of the invention the pouch or pouches may comprise insulating properties that may be utilizing in the pouch itself or may be integrated into the object wrapper and wearable protective cover as well.
