Patent number: 10182934Abstract: A belt-like hip-girdling pelvic sling device for maintaining a desired amount of tension surrounding a person's hips and pelvis to securely support and stabilize a fractured pelvis, including a force-controlled buckle that automatically latches to control the tension and that includes a releasable latching mechanism. The latching mechanism maintains engagement of the buckle with a strap at the required position of the strap with respect to the buckle. The latching mechanism includes a movable member of the buckle that is moved to and latched in a position in which the buckle engages the strap, once a desired amount of tension is reached, limiting and maintaining the required tension.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2013Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: The Seaberg Company, Inc.Inventors: Lance David Hopman, Lane Michael Johnson, Eric E. Batdorf, Brian Lux, Nolan Brophy, Aaron Lundquist, Matthew Malone, Kenneth J. Courian

Patent number: 9028435Abstract: A junctional and truncal tourniquet and a hip-girdling pelvic sling device for maintaining a desired amount of tension surrounding a person's hips and pelvis to securely support and stabilize a pelvis that has been fractured and for securing a pressure applying device to a person so that blood vessel-occluding pressure can be applied. Areas of mating types of fastener material such as mating hook-bearing fastener material and loop pile fastener material are arranged on the device to enable a strap to be secured at various effective lengths to provide a wide range of adjustability. The device may include inflatable bladders, stays, and a chin support and may be wrapped around a patient's neck as a cervical support collar, or around the torso to occlude blood vessels proximal to an injury on a limb.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: The Seaberg Company, LLCInventors: Lance David Hopman, Lane Michael Johnson, Stephen C. Melia, Mark Douglas Smith, Adrian Abram Polliack
