Abstract: A portable customizable smart orthotic for wound care, trauma and critical care. The cranial orthotic includes an exterior shell, with or without an accompanying bladder providing additional cushion to the wound environment. The cranial orthotic is adapted to sense pressures and biometrics associated with the wound environment and as well as heat or cool portions of the wound environment. A communications module accompanies the smart cranial orthotic.

Abstract: A portable customizable smart helmet, cap or splint for wound care, trauma and critical care.

Abstract: A force adjustable spring distractor device having an elongated, relatively thin guide plate, a force adjusting rod member having first and second oppositely threaded portions, first and second anchor bodies mounted on the guide plate and the threaded portions of the rod, first and second distractor bodies mounted on the guide plate and the rod, and first and second distraction springs connecting the anchor bodies to the distractor bodies, whereby rotation of the force adjusting rod results in separation of the anchor bodies and elongation of the distraction springs, thereby imparting a separation force to the distractor bodies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an osteogenic distractor suitable for indexed osteotomy following permanent implantation into bone. The osteogenic distractor may be a means for anchoring two or more sections of bone and a means for facilitating movement of one section of anchored bone relative to another section of anchored bone. Furthermore, the continuous tension on the bone produced by the distractor may facilitate stimulation of osteogenesis around the implant.
