  • Patient support for external counterpulsation cardiac assist device
    Patent number: 6948501
    Abstract: A patient support for an external counterpulsation cardiac assist procedure. The patient support includes: a base; and at least one support connected to the base for maintaining at least a portion of the patient above a tabletop during a positive pressure portion of the external counterpulsation cardiac assist procedure. In one embodiment, the base is a tabletop and the at least one support is movably supported on the table top in lateral and/or vertical directions. In another embodiment, the base is higher than the tabletop and the at least one support is a sling.

  • External counterpulsation cardiac assist device pressure applicators having an outer shell which resists deformation
    Patent number: 6770041
    Abstract: An applicator for applying an external counterpulsation to a body portion is provided. The applicator including: an outer shell for covering the body portion, the outer shell having a length in a longitudinal direction and a circumference in a circumferential direction; a balloon disposed in the outer shell, pressurization of which applies an external pressure to the body portion; and at least one anti-deformation member for reducing an amount of deformation of the outer shell caused by the pressurization of the balloon.
