  • Publication number: 20240316339
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a wristband nerve stimulator and a use method thereof. The wristband nerve stimulator is small in volume and wearable, and has a waterproof function. As a wristband instrument, the wristband nerve stimulator can perform treatment at any time. Furthermore, the fixed main unit and the band can be quickly mounted and removed, which is convenient to replace the band.

  • Publication number: 20240285831
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes the use of immune modulators to promote nerve growth and regeneration, particularly in the context of nerve deficit stemming from trauma and disease. In particular, the disclosure provides for the use of CXCR4 antagonists, STAT3 activators, and an agent that increases levels of nitric oxide, either alone or in any combination of these drugs, in surgery performed to treat nerve deficit conditions, especially peripheral nerve deficit conditions caused by cut injury or tear injury, the method especially useful in bridging nerve gaps of 3 cm or longer.

  • Patent number: 12029287
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a manufacturing method of a wristband embedded with multiple groups of electrode pieces. The present disclosure provides a band manufacturing method that can take metal electrodes and silica gel electrodes into account, which ensures that the electrodes are firm and will not fall off when the wristband is worn. All the electrodes are clung to the skin through electrode bands, so that the wires are effectively prevented from being intertwined and broken, and the service life of the wires can be prolonged. Meanwhile, fast mounting and connection between the electrodes and the main unit are realized, and it can also be ensured that joints of the band and the main unit after assembling are waterproof.
