Agnes Bonvilain has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11872107
    Abstract: A device to prevent urinary leakage intended to be implanted in a patient includes a compressor to compress the patient's urethra, an electronic controller to actuate the compressor, and a measurer to measure the patient's activity. The measurer is coupled with the controller and the controller functions according to a predictive model of urinary leakage based on patient activity, so as to anticipate a possible urinary leak in relation to the measured activity of the patient.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 17, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 16, 2024
    Assignee: UROMEMS
    Inventors: Philippe Cinquin, Pierre Mozer, Hamid Lamraoui, Agnes Bonvilain, Gilberte Robain

  • Patent number: 10383714
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device to prevent urinary leakage intended to be implanted in a patient, comprising: compression means (1, 3, 4, 5) to compress the patient's urethra, electronic control means (2) to actuate the compression means (1, 3, 4, 5), characterized in that it further comprises measurement means (7) to measure the patient's activity, coupled with the control means (2), the control means (2) functioning according to a predictive model of urinary leakage based on patient activity, so as to anticipate a possible urinary leak in relation to the measured activity of the patient.

  • Patent number: 8534131
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a surgical intervention device, including a surgical instrument capable of passing through human or animal tissue and a system comprising so-called “passive” components capable of measuring deformation or a local strain of the instrument and/or so-called “active” components capable of imposing a local strain on the instrument, the system comprising at least two series of passive components arranged at the surface of the instrument so as to establish a biunivocal relation between the position of the instrument or the position of the distal end of the instrument and all the data originating from the series, and, where required, at least two series of active components arranged at the surface of the instrument. The disclosure also relates to a process for determining the position of the distal end of a surgical instrument capable of passing through human or animal tissue.
