  • Patent number: 10610114
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention relates to systems, methods, and apparatus relating to the detection of a neuropathy such as a perioperative neuropathy. In one embodiment, a wristband comprising a plurality of anodes and cathodes is used. The wristband can be a component in a electrode array that includes a plurality of reference or recording electrodes. The electrode array can be configured to stimulate and collect responsive signals from an ulnar, a median, radial and posterior tibial nerve. The simulation and signal collection can be performed on a continuous basis for time periods of interest such as a given perioperative time period using a monitoring device.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110046540
    Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and methods for the delivery of therapeutic agents to target tissues by electromigration. The utilization of electric fields according to the methods of the invention aids in the distribution and targeting of therapeutic agents, in particular, where standard means of agent application in the target tissue is insufficient to achieve prophylactic or therapeutic results. In particular embodiments, the present invention utilizes a convective force in combination with the developed electric fields to further increase the flux of the therapeutic agent or to further improve distribution of the therapeutic agent within the target tissues.
