Abstract: A system for monitoring a joint of a patient is described. The system includes at least one sensor configured to be coupled near the joint of the patient, the at least one sensor configured to sense one or more measurements of the joint. The system also includes a computing device comprising a digital processing device configured to receive the one or more measurements, determine one or more joint parameters based on the one or more measurements, generate a user interface for display, the user interface including a graphical representation of the one or more joint parameters. The digital processing device is also configured to compare the one or more joint parameters to a predetermined threshold and generate an icon for display within the user interface. The icon being generated in response to one of the one or more joint parameters exceeding the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An apparatus for closing a surgical incision comprises left and right base panels, a plurality of closure components, and a plurality of left and right axial supports coupled to the respective base panels. The closure components couple the left and right base panels to each other laterally and have left and right ends coupled to the respective base panels. The closure components are positioned laterally across the left and right panels, the left axial supports are disposed between pairs of left closure component ends, the right axial supports are disposed between pairs of right closure component ends, and the left and right axial supports are offset from one another such that a serpentine arrangement of consecutive closure components and axial supports is formed. The apparatus can be made of antimicrobial materials or materials impregnated with antimicrobial agents. A flexible adhesive cover can be provided over the apparatus when in use.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for post-surgical joint range of motion measurement, activity monitoring, as well as monitoring compliance with post-operative extremity elevation and cooling recommendations are provided. The system comprises sensor(s) to be attached adjacent a joint of the patient, with limb attachment element(s), applications running on a computing device of the patient and medical practitioner, and a cloud-based backend system.

Abstract: A wound dressing for use with a closure device is disclosed. The first and second base panels of the closure device are positioned on opposite lateral sides of a wound or incision. The base panels are coupled together to maintain wound or incision closure. A release liner is removed from a bottom surface of the wound dressing. The wound dressing is positioned over the closure device and the wound or incision. Exudate is absorbed by an absorbent material of the wound dressing through a porous strip of the wound dressing. The wound dressing is slightly larger than the closure device so that its perimeter area is adhered to the skin area around the closure device. Alternatively or in combination, the wound dressing is lightly adhered to the closure device and wound or incision area so that it can be removed without harming the underlying device and tissues.

Abstract: Devices, kits and methods described herein may be for treatment to skin, including but not limited to wound healing, the treatment, amelioration, and/or prevention of scars or keloids. A book-like packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device may be used to apply a dressing to a subject. The packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device may apply and/or maintain a strain in an elastic dressing.

Abstract: Devices and methods of closing a wound or incision and inhibiting scar formation in the closed wound or incision are provided. First and second base panels of a device are adhered to skin on first and second lateral sides of the wound or incision, respectively. The first and second panels are coupled together with one or more elastic lateral ties or straps positioned across the wound or incision. A lateral compressive force is applied on the wound or incision with the one or more lateral ties. The lateral compressive force is maintained for a period of time as the wound or incision heals. The maintained lateral compressive force inhibits scar formation in the healing wound or incision.
