Fred F. Naraghi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240032976
    Abstract: Catheter system, devices and methods for diagnosing and treating lateral stenosis causing back pain and or leg pain. The devices comprise a tubular part for insertion into a working cannula to self-position itself safely within the foramen, and minimize the risk of displacement medially or laterally, to prevent nerve or dura injury. An expandable membrane is configured to maintain the catheter device within the foramen. Expansion of this membrane would decompress the nerve within the foramen by opening the foraminal canal as the membrane expands.

  • Publication number: 20120016420
    Abstract: Systems and methods are positioned between left and right transverse processes of adjacent vertebrae in a spine to provide dynamic inter-transverse process distraction and stabilization and indirect expansion of both anterior and posterior spaces of the spine. The systems and methods employ a left support component sized and configured to be mounted between the left transverse processes of the adjacent vertebrae and a right support component and configured to be mounted between the right transverse processes of the adjacent vertebrae. The left and right support components exert a dynamic separation force between the left and right transverse processes generally longitudinally along the spine to distract and stabilize space between the adjacent inferior and superior vertebrae and indirectly expand both anterior and posterior spaces of the spine. The systems and methods relieve pain associated with, e.g. disc herniation, disc degeneration, facet arthropathy, and spinal stenosis.

  • Patent number: 5084047
    Abstract: A fracture reducing apparatus for achieving and maintaining fracture reduction having three side arms which are threadedly connected to two main arms. A knob pivotally connects the two main arms and maintains their relative position with respect to one another. The side arms of the apparatus distribute the surgeon's manipulating force to three points along the surface of the fractured limb and when the reduction is achieved, the knob is tightened to maintain the reduction, thus freeing surgeon's hands to apply the fixation, or to completely move out of the field of x-ray exposure.
