Abstract: In some embodiments, the system includes a wearable garment that is able to couple to electrode panels to secure the electrode panels in a position to contract transversus abdominis muscles and lumbar multifidus muscles. In some embodiments, the system includes a controller that couples to at least one electrode panel to deliver electrical power to electrodes. In some embodiments, the controller executes program instructions that can independently contract transversus abdominis muscles and lumbar multifidus muscles or can contract the transversus abdominis muscles and lumbar multifidus muscles simultaneously. In some embodiments, the controller executes an NMES and a TENS program simultaneously. In some embodiments, the NMES and TENS are executed by the same electrode.

Abstract: The disclosure is direct to a unique system for delivering NMES and/or TENS therapy to one or more portions of a biological structure. In some embodiments, the biological structure includes a limb such as an elbow or knee. In some embodiments, the system includes a flexible panel with an integrated flexible circuit. In some embodiments, the flexible panel is configured to couple to and bend with a garment. In some embodiments, the flexible panel enables the coupling of one or more electrodes. In some embodiments, the flexible panel is removable from the garment which allows for the garment to be washed without exposing flexible panel electrical connections to submersion in a fluid.

Abstract: This disclosure describes various aspects of a unique therapeutic does for an NMES system. In some embodiments, the system includes one or more electrodes and one or more controls that execute a therapy session program. The therapy session program causes the controller to implement a pulse to the one or more electrodes that, when viewed on a graph of amplitude vs. time, create a “chair” shape with an exponentially decreasing amplitude. In some embodiments, the pulse is considerably longer (e.g., 5 ms) than those implemented in the past (e.g., 300 ?s). In some embodiments, the pulse is held at a non-zero amplitude after an exponential decrease for a period of time before a non-electrical relaxation time period is implemented by the one or more controllers.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a knee therapy system that includes a flexible garment or wrap that is electrically conductive, and a range-of-motion sensor coupled or integrated with the flexible garment or wrap. The sensor is coupled or integrated with the flexible garment or wrap, and includes a plurality of electrodes including an active electrode and a receiving electrode. The electrodes can be in physical contact with skin of a patient forming an electrical circuit with control electronics of the controller. The electrical circuit measures an electrical parameter using the active and receiving electrodes, and forms a closed loop electrical muscle stimulation system, where stimulation current or voltage is applied by the electrodes onto the skin between the active and receiving electrodes based on a program and an electrical parameter measured through the electrodes. An optical sensor or camera can be configured to track body joints of a user.

Abstract: The system is directed to improving muscle strength using electrostimulation therapy and/or occlusion according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, the system is configured to use electrodes placed outside the body and/or on the surface of the skin to activate pelvic floor muscles to control urine flow from the bladder. In some embodiments, the system includes one or more fluid bladders configured to reduce blood flow to a targeted area while applying electrostimulation using one or more electrodes. In some embodiments, the occlusion system results in higher muscle growth and/or retraining results than conventional methods.

Abstract: A self-sealing vascular graft, including a substrate with a sealant layer and several optional additional layers, is described. The substrate can be ePTFE and the material used for the sealant and additional layers can be polyurethane. The sealant layer and additional layers may include one or more base layers, one or more foam layers, beading of different sizes and shapes, and ePTFE tape. A flared cuff may be integral to one or both ends of the substrate or may be attached to one or both ends. Various methods of making a self-sealing vascular graft are also described, including methods of disposition, methods of forming, methods of bonding and methods of attaching.
