Abstract: The present invention provides an electrode having a substrate and a conductive polymer film layer on the exposed surface, the film layer having a capacitance per area of at least 0.5 F/cm2 and/or wherein the film layer has a thickness of between 50-1000 ?m. A medical device having a plurality of electrodes wherein at least one of the electrodes includes a polymer film layer, the film layer having a capacitance per area of at least 0.5 F/cm2 is also provided, as are systems including the medical device, methods of treatment of a spinal cord lesion and methods of manufacturing the electrodes.

Abstract: A medical device comprising a flexible electrode array having a bend radius of no more than about 2 mm; and a fluidic component, wherein the fluidic component is fluidically actuatable to cause the fluidic component to change configuration; wherein the fluidic component and the flexible electrode array are configured such that a change in configuration of the fluidic component causes a change in configuration of the flexible electrode array.

Abstract: Apparatus includes an imaging system with a user interface, and a hospital radiological information system (RIS) coupled to the imaging system such that the user interface allows for bi-directional data transfer between the imaging system and the RIS.

Abstract: A sling having a generally rectangular shoulder pad with a cutout for the user's neck and four D-rings attached thereto is disclosed. A chest strap is attached to two of the D-rings, one on each end of the shoulder pad. An arm strap is attached to the two remaining D-rings. Both of the straps are formed of a resilient material to allow the user flexibility and mobility while wearing the sling. In order to create an easily adjusted attachment, each of the straps has a layer of resilient hook material on one side. At each end of each strap is a patch of hook material. The combination of hook and loop material is used to connect each end of the strap to the corresponding D-ring. An alternate embodiment uses two O-rings. Each O-ring attaches one end of both the arm strap and the chest strap to the shoulder pad.
