Publication number: 20220151813Abstract: A foldable pelvic binding device and method of use is provided. The device includes a main body divided into a plurality of panels and segments by a grid of living hinges, thereby facilitating movement between stowed and flat configurations. The main body is configured to couple with one or more other main body, as necessary or desired, to create a binding device that is sized for the required application, thereby accommodating a variety of applications in a variety of situations for a variety of body shapes and sizes. By engaging the binding device with a tourniquet, a binding system is created. When not in use, each the main body of the binding device can be moved to the stowable configuration by folding the various panels over each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Christopher B.

Patent number: 11324516Abstract: A pre-fabricated pneumatic tourniquet apparatus and related methods are provided. The tourniquet is easy to apply, ensures consistent and even circumferential pressure, is light weight, provides standard life saving operation, and can be utilized in any setting or situation. The pneumatic tourniquet apparatus is comprised of a bladder, a reservoir chassis, a retaining cover, a receiver and a slider. The bladder is elongated in shaped—long enough to wrap around most human limbs.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Inventors: Christopher B. Kosiorek, Dexter C. Drayton, Esra Abir, Neslihan Damar, Nilufer Polat, Yavuz Avci

Publication number: 20220110636Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and systems for hemorrhage control and pelvic stabilization are provided. The hemorrhage control plate includes a baseplate and a bulbous node extending outwardly. The bulbous node is positioned against a patient's body at a location where pressure is desired. The device is used in connection with a tourniquet to occlude blood flow at a hemorrhage site. The device is configured to attach to the tourniquet.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: CHRISTOPHER B. KOSIOREK, RYAN WILLIAMS, ESRA ABIR, CHRISTIAN D. REID, JON R. MATTSON, CHRISTOPHER J. MURPHY, COREY F. RUSS, BRENDA MEE, FAISAL AHMED

Patent number: 11234854Abstract: A foldable splint and method of use is provided. The foldable splint includes a main body divided into a plurality of panels and segments by a grid of living hinges. Each panel includes opposed first and second outer segments and a plurality of inner segments extending therebetween. By folding the main body along segment hinges, the splint is moved to a first rigid configuration for securing an appendage in a straight configuration. By further folding the splint at opposed pinch locations, the splint is moved to a second rigid configuration for securing an appendage in a bent configuration. By folding the splint along panel hinges, the splint is moved to a third rigid configuration for securing around an abdomen or pelvis of a user. When not in use, the splint can be moved back to the stowable configuration by folding the various panels over each other.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: ALPHAPOINTEInventors: Christopher B. Kosiorek, Esra Abir, Brenda Mee, Ryan Williams

Patent number: 11207077Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and systems for junctional hemorrhage control and pelvic stabilization are provided. The hemorrhage control plate includes a baseplate and a bulbous node extending outwardly. It is positioned against a patient's body such that it aligns with an artery. It is used in connection with a tourniquet to occlude blood flow at a junctional hemorrhage site. The device includes tabs to attach to the tourniquet.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: ALPHAPOINTEInventors: Christopher B.
