  • ACTIVE COMPRESSION-DECOMPRESSION DEVICES AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20200121552
    Abstract: A system for performing an active compression decompression (ACD) treatment on a patient includes a platform for placement under a patient, a chest compression actuator that may include a belt configured to extend over a thorax of the patient, an upward force actuator, a coupling mechanism for coupling the upward force actuator to the thorax of the patient to transfer a decompressing force from the upward force actuator to the thorax of the patient, and a motor that is coupled to the belt, the motor configured to cause the belt to tighten about the thorax of the patient and exert a compressing force on the thorax of the patient; and cause the belt to loosen about the thorax of the patient and allow the upward force actuator to cause decompression of the patient.

  • Methods and apparatus for introducing tumescent fluid to body tissue
    Patent number: 9055956
    Abstract: A catheter is usable to treat a hollow anatomical structure (HAS). The catheter comprises one or more shafts which extend away from a proximal end of the catheter toward a distal end thereof. The catheter further comprises an HAS constriction energy source located at or near the distal end of the catheter. The catheter further comprises at least one radially expandable transmural fluid delivery channel located in the catheter near the HAS constriction energy source.

  • Occlusive implant and methods for hollow anatomical structure
    Patent number: 9017361
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for treating a hollow anatomical structure comprises an implant sized for insertion into a hollow anatomical structure. The implant comprises a plurality of loose, bulked fibers. The fibers are formed from one or more bioabsorbable materials. Upon implantation, the apparatus causes a partial occlusion of the hollow anatomical structure, followed by a complete or substantially complete occlusion.
