  • Publication number: 20250072904
    Abstract: A compression device includes an adhesion sheet including an adhesion surface; and a compression member mounted on the adhesion sheet and configured to compress a biological surface. The compression member includes a fixing portion fixed to the adhesion sheet on a side of the sheet opposite the adhesion surface in a thickness direction, and a compression main body portion provided in a portion of the compression member, in a plan view seen along the thickness direction, that does not overlap the adhesion sheet. The compression main body is configured to protrude or be protrusible further toward one side in the thickness direction than the adhesion surface. The adhesion sheet includes a first portion to which the fixing portion is fixed and a second portion to which the fixing portion is not fixed. The second portion is provided on at least a compression main body portion side of the adhesion sheet.

  • Patent number: 8942804
    Abstract: A system for detecting myocardial ischemia includes an implantable device having one or more leads connected thereto, at least one electrode on a lead of the device, and a microprocessor in the implantable device. The electrode is configured to stimulate the heart. The at least one sensor is configured to measure a characteristic of blood in a coronary vessel. The microprocessor is programmed to: run a stress test on the heart by stimulating the heart with the electrode; record data obtained from the at least one sensor during the stress test; and determine whether there is myocardial ischemia based upon the recorded data.
