Publication number: 20220249822Abstract: The present disclosure relates to applicators for microneedle array patches and methods of application of microneedle array patches to a skin surface. The applicator can include a shaft having an opening at a first end for affixing a microneedle array patch, a plunger positioned substantially within the shaft, a loading mechanism operably associated with the plunger within the shaft, and a force applicator. The method can include affixing the microneedle array patch to a first end of a plunger of a microneedle array patch applicator, loading the plunger and the affixed microneedle array patch to a loaded position, positioning the opening against the skin region of the individual and operating the force applicator to release the plunger.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicant: Tokitae, LLCInventors: Ari Karchin, John Arthur Ohrt, Evan Schuster, David J.

Patent number: 10842534Abstract: The disclosure discloses methods, devices, systems and kits for repairing, replacing and/or augmenting natural facet joint surfaces and/or facet capsules. An implantable facet joint device of one embodiment comprises a cephalad facet joint element and a caudal facet joint element. The cephalad facet joint element includes a member adapted to engage a first vertebra, and an artificial cephalad bearing member. The caudal facet joint element includes a connector adapted for fixation to a second vertebra at a fixation point and an artificial caudal bearing member adapted to engage the cephalad bearing member. The artificial caudal bearing member is adapted for a location lateral to the fixation point.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Globus Medical, Inc.Inventors: Philip Berg, John Arthur Ohrt, Cin Abidin, Mark K.

Patent number: 10201727Abstract: An exercise device providing a fore and aft horizontal component of striding motion that is dynamically user-defined, while providing a vertical component of the motion that is maintained on a predetermined vertically reciprocating path in some embodiments. The exercise device guides the user's foot in a pseudo-elliptical stride path, while providing a dynamically variable stride length that allows the user to move with a natural stride length. The exercise device allows tall and short users to extend or curtail the stride length to match their natural stride lengths. The length of the reciprocating path is dynamically adjusted during the exercise operation without equipment adjustments by changes in the length of the stride input by the user at a pair of foot engagement pads disposed on laterally spaced apart foot support members.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2016Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Nautilus, Inc.Inventors: John Arthur Ohrt, James A.
