  • Patent number: 12232944
    Abstract: Provided is a medical device formed entirely from or formed partially from a polymer, e.g., a polysaccharide such as chitosan. In some embodiments, the medical device may be formed as a tubular member formed from a sheet of a chitosan material. This chitosan tube may be used to wrap around tissue, such as a nerve or tendon to help with the regeneration or healing process of the nerve or tendon, as applicable.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 2023
    Date of Patent: February 25, 2025
    Assignee: CHECKPOINT SURGICAL, INC.

  • Patent number: 9878165
    Abstract: A patient programmer has a housing having a key-fob-sized form factor. The patient programmer has electrical circuitry implemented inside the housing. The electrical circuitry includes a communication module configured to conduct wireless communications with an implantable pulse generator. The patient programmer has a user display implemented on the housing. The user display is configured to display one or more statuses of the implantable pulse generator. The implantable pulse generator is configured to generate an electrical stimulation therapy. The patient programmer has one or more buttons implemented on the housing. The one or more buttons are configured to send instructions, via the communication module, to the implantable pulse generator to adjust a stimulation parameter of the electrical stimulation therapy.
