Patent number: 9186444Abstract: In various embodiments of the invention, a vacuum pump can be used as a stand alone unit to create, monitor and control a vacuum in a variety of surgical procedures. The vacuum pump can be controlled by a processor and automatically increases or decreases the vacuum based on monitoring of parameters selected from the group consisting of heart-rate of the fetus, heart rate of the mother, heart rate of patient, blood pressure of the fetus, blood pressure of the mother and blood pressure of the patient, position of the wound, position of the fetus, condition of the fetus, condition of the mother, condition of the patient. Visual or audio feedback is used to allow the care giver increased control of the pumping device while carrying out the procedure.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: MEDITECH DEVELOPMENT INCORPORATEDInventors: Neal M. Lonky, A. Steve Gurganian

Patent number: 8915894Abstract: In various embodiments of the invention, the components can include a hemostatic vacuum cup which can utilize ancillary or self-contained vacuum generation, and a therapeutic agent which is supplied prior, simultaneously or subsequent to the application of a vacuum with the ultimate aim of slowing or arresting the flow of blood in a bodily tissue or organ. The invention relates to a hemostatic vacuum cup which can utilize ancillary or self-contained vacuum generation. The cup produces a hemostatic effect by the physical application of the device upon a traumatized tissue site and through the delivery of an agent, such as one that assists in hemostasis, antinociception, coagulation, sterilization, or other effective wound healing agents including antibiotics, antiseptics and antioxidants. The cup can be adapted to deliver the therapeutic agent, by methods integral to the vacuum cup. The therapeutic agent can be delivered in the form of a sponge, cellulose or other filter material.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2012Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Meditech Development IncorporatedInventors: Neal Marc Lonky, Albert Steve Gurganian
