Patent number: 10617432Abstract: Systems and methods that enable harvesting of cartilage from a subject (e.g., a patient) via a harvesting unit that mitigates or eliminates a requirement of dicing and/or separation/division of the cartilage by hand. The harvesting unit employs a power supply to accumulate and cut the cartilage. By employing the harvesting unit, an automatic accumulation and reduction of size for the cartilage is provided, while freeing a person from having to manually dice the cartilage.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2017Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Inventors: Davood Varghai, Bahman Guyuron

Publication number: 20180103992Abstract: A method for treating headaches caused by a blood vessel irritating an associated nerve. The method is performed using a doppler ultrasound device and a treatment device (e.g., electrocautery or radiofrequency ablation). The method includes receiving an estimated location of an origin of the headaches. The estimated location is investigated for a blood vessel using the doppler ultrasound device. When the investigation of the estimated location identifies a blood vessel, the estimated location is cauterized or radiofrequency ablated using the treatment device, such that pressure is reduced on a nerve associated with the identified blood vessel and such that the treatment device does not directly stimulate the nerve.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Inventor: Bahman Guyuron

Publication number: 20160015560Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods to improve the performance of heat exchangers used in thermoelectric cooling/heating devices, wherein improved heat conduction between heat exchanger and thermal exchange fluid is accomplished. Additionally, a method is disclosed to minimize the necessary delay used to protect the thermoelectric modules against thermal shock when switching from heat to cold, or vice versa. Thermal shock can damage thermoelectric modules when the direction of current passing through the modules is instantly switched.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2015Publication date: January 21, 2016Inventors: Farhad Bahremand, Brad A.

Patent number: 8616198Abstract: A nasal dilator that includes an upper resilient member for dilating the nasal valve and a lower resilient member for dilating the nostrils. The upper resilient member and lower resilient member may be attached to one another by a flexible substrate having a middle portion that is narrower in length than the upper or lower resilient members. The nasal dilator also may have adhesive tabs extending downwardly from the lower portion of the substrate on either side of the nose and towards the nostril entry, for temporary attachment to the side of the nasal vestibule to reduce nostril collapse. The nasal dilator also may include bendable or configurable hooks extending downwardly from the lower portion of the substrate and towards the nostril entrance for insertion into the nostril to reduce nostril collapse.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Innovative Medical Equipment, LLCInventors: Bahman Guyuron, Daniel Puthoff, Jamie Horvath, Paul Tamulewicz

Publication number: 20130019872Abstract: An anatomically designed egg-shaped or elliptical-shaped nasopharyngeal airway for providing a comfortable and safe air passage through a nose to a nasopharynx includes a cannula having a proximal open end, a distal end, and a sidewall surrounding a lumen of the cannula. The nasopharyngeal airway has a port, which includes two or more openings separated by one or more bridges, in the sidewall, at a distal portion of the cannula. Upper and lower conduits may be located in channels of the sidewall of the cannula for delivery of oxygen and measurement of CO2 or other purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2011Publication date: January 24, 2013Inventors: Bahman Guyuron, Jamie Horvath, Brad A. Pulver

Publication number: 20120080037Abstract: A nasopharyngeal airway for providing an air passage through a nose to a nasopharynx includes a cannula having a proximal open end, a distal closed end, and a sidewall surrounding a lumen of the cannula. The nasopharyngeal airway has an opening in the sidewall at a distal portion of the cannula for providing fluid communication between a distal portion of the lumen and the nasopharynx when the cannula is inserted into the nose and a conduit in the sidewall of the cannula, the conduit having an opening adjacent to the proximal open end of the cannula and a conduit opening in a distal portion of the cannula for providing fluid communication between the conduit and the distal portion of the lumen.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2010Publication date: April 5, 2012Applicant: INNOVATIVE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, LLCInventors: Bahman Guyuron, Jamie Horvath
