Patent number: 9186469Abstract: A template for locating a proper place for inserting a needle. The template has two reference indicators that are placed on a person's body and an elongated body, with incremental markings on each side of the elongated body, that moves relative to the two reference indicators. The incremental markings on each side of the elongated body can be scaled differently. One reference indicator is placed over the clavicle and the other is placed over the nipple on the same lateral side. The elongated body is moved until the reference indicators are each lined up with equivalent incremental markings on each half of the elongated body. When the reference indicators are lined up with matching incremental markings, a fixed target, positioned between the two sets of incremental markings, will indicate a proper location for inserting a pneumothorax relief needle.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2014Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Christopher Murphy, Corey Russ

Patent number: 9000251Abstract: A wound dressing is made of multiple layers and includes a collection chamber that is in fluid communication with a drainage channel. When applied over a wound, the wound dressing provides protection for the wound while allowing air and fluids to evacuate from the wound through the collection chamber and out through the drainage channel. The wound dressing can include a valve that restricts air and fluids from entering the wound, which is beneficial for treating pneumothorax.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2011Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Combat Medical Systems, LLCInventors: Christopher Murphy, Corey Russ, Jim McGuire

Patent number: 8579115Abstract: A container having a base and a cap is disclosed herein for protecting needles and/or catheters during transport. The base has a cavity for storing the needle and/or catheter and a flange region for securing the needle and/or catheter within the base. The cap can be releasably coupled to the base and provide a seal to protect the needle and/or catheter from contamination. Semi-permeable plugs can be disposed on the ends of the base and cap to enable gas sterilization of the container and the needle and/or catheter contained inside.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Combat Medical Systems, LLCInventors: Christopher Murphy, Corey Russ

Publication number: 20110237994Abstract: A wound dressing includes a wound-filling member attached to a hemostasis inducer that can be impregnated with an active compound, such as coagulants. The wound dressing can be placed in wounds to provide pressure, as well as chemical action, to promote blood coagulation and thereby arrest bleeding. A wrap can be attached to the wound dressing to provide an easy and quick method of securing the wound dressing. The wound dressing can be compressed in a small package for easy transport.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2010Publication date: September 29, 2011Applicant: COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Corey Russ, Christopher Murphy

Publication number: 20110054340Abstract: A wound dressing can include an adhesive dressing with a diaphragm vent that allows the passage of gas out of a patient's body but restricts the flow of gas into the body. A sensor device is positioned so as to be able to sample gas passing through the vent and measure one or more gas characteristics, such as temperature, humidity, and/or pressure. If the data from the sensor device exceeds certain parameters suggestive of a pneumothorax, a processing device can activate an alert system, such as an indicator light, audible alarm, and/or wireless signal, to alert the care provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2010Publication date: March 3, 2011Applicant: COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS, LLC.Inventors: Corey Russ, Christopher Murphy, Brian Farrell, Keith High, Sean Mahoney

Publication number: 20100100120Abstract: A compression or tourniquet device can include a frame which has a first arm and a support arm and a pad mounted on the first arm. The position of the first arm can be laterally and vertically adjustable on the frame relative to the brace arm. The device can be secured to a patient and the pad can be adjusted to provide pressure on an injury to stop the bleeding.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2009Publication date: April 22, 2010Applicant: COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Jessica Perkins, Corey Russ, Christopher Murphy
