  • System and method for stimulating sensory nerves
    Patent number: 8417352
    Abstract: An electrotherapy system for stimulating sensory nerves within skin tissue includes a electrode carrier, a pulse generator, an array of skin-penetrating electrodes and surface skin electrodes, a pulse conditioning circuit, and a power source. The system administers biphasic pulsed current at the surface skin electrodes and monophasic pulsed current at each skin-penetrating electrode. The skin-penetrating surfaces and skin contact surfaces of the electrotherapy system may be sterilized or may be replaceable for outpatient reusability.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 28, 2010
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2013
    Assignee: Meagan Medical, Inc.
    Inventors: William J. Carroll, Erling Jensen Aune, Jr., Timothy J. Johnson, Jens Olaf Roe Schouenborg

  • Cervical traction/stretch device and method for its use
    Publication number: 20100121243
    Abstract: A cervical traction/stretch system includes a traction/stretch mechanism for applying tension between a body's head and shoulders, the traction/stretch mechanism including a bellows; a pump operatively coupled with the traction/stretch mechanism for alternately inflating and deflating the bellows; and an at least semi-automatic controller operatively coupled with the pump for at least semi-automatically controlling the pump by activating and deactivating the same in such manner as to alternately and repeatably inflate and deflate the bellows to prescribed pressure levels over prescribed pressure intervals.
