Patents by Inventor Jeffrey S. Mannheimer

Jeffrey S. Mannheimer has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6607500
    Abstract: The present invention is a device that allows electrical stimulation to an anatomical site that is covered by a cast. The electrode is applied to achieve a desired physiological response (e.g., bone growth), treatment of pain, or the prevention of muscle atrophy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 10, 2001
    Date of Patent: August 19, 2003
    Assignee: Cyclotec Advanced Medical Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Luiz B. Da Silva, Michael R. Weber, David I. Blatt, Jeffrey S. Mannheimer
  • Publication number: 20020193844
    Abstract: A combination electrode-battery assembly for a miniature wireless transcutaneous electrical neuro or muscular stimulation unit is provided, which is capable of being removably attached. The assembly is generally comprised of two sided electrodes, batteries, various conductive transmission materials and a mechanical means for securing the conductive materials to the batteries In addition, the assembly can be rechargeable or disposable.

  • Patent number: 6445955
    Abstract: A miniature wireless transcutaneous electrical neuro or muscular stimulation unit. The unit has a housing attached to a plurality of electrodes. An electronics module containing an electrical circuit is contained within the housing and provides a sequence of monophasic or biphasic pulses to a patient's pain site via the electrodes. The electrodes can be disposable and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The patient may select and control the intensity and the frequency of the pulses by choosing one of several TENS and microcurrent waveforms, as well as the orientation and quantity of the electrodes. The means for supplying power to the electronics module can be integrated with the electrodes in one detachable and disposable assembly. A worn-remote controller can send transmission signals to a receiver within the electronic module thereby allowing the patient to program specific units placed on the patient's body to perform operations in a specified series of waveforms.

  • Patent number: 4561851
    Abstract: An apparatus for demonstrating and teaching the application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to a human or animal body includes a representation of such body with receptors thereon at different sites thereof corresponding to treatment sites of different pains which could afflict the body, electronic circuits capable of visually indicating locations of pain when switched on, and electronic circuits for visually showing paths of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on the body representation when a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator is connected to the receptors and is activated. When the correct receptors are connected to T.E.N.S. unit for the treatment of a particular visually indicated pain and the T.E.N.S. unit is turned on the indication of the pain is cancelled. Also disclosed are apparatuses with which the electrical stimulator employed is of a type other than a T.E.N.S. unit, such as bone growth and muscle stimulators.
