  • Systems and methods for tissue treatment
    Patent number: 11883054
    Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to treat a tissue by automatically linearly oscillating an instrument into a target site. A system may include a body having a length and configured to receive a portion of the instrument guide member having an exposed end and/or an instrument. The system may further include an actuator member disposed within the body and configured to linearly oscillate the instrument within the instrument guide member a fixed distance past the exposed end. The systems and methods can increase patient comfort while empowering clinicians by simplifying interventions for musculoskeletal disorders.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 9, 2022
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignee: Emory University
    Inventors: Kenneth R. Mautner, Luka Grujic, Shawna M. Hagen, Brett Rogers, Jonathan Shaw

  • IMPROVED DEVICES FOR TISSUE TREATMENT AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20210145477
    Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for monitoring a status of targeted tissue undergoing a procedure via a medical device, such as, for example, a tenotomy, and further providing feedback associated with one or more parameters of the targeted tissue in real-time to thereby indicate a completeness of the procedure to an operator of the medical device. The invention also provides devices with a magnetic coupling of components and methods of use of such devices.
