  • Publication number: 20210393309
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to improved medical devices, systems, and methods. In many embodiments, devices, systems, and methods for locating and treating a target nerve with integrated cold therapy and electrical stimulation systems are provided. For example, nerve stimulation and cryoneurolysis may be delivered concurrently or alternately with the cryo-stimulation device. In some embodiments, the device may be operated by a single operator or clinician. Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure may improve nerve targeting during cryoneurolysis procedures. Improvements in nerve localization and targeting may increase treatment accuracy, physician confidence in needle placement during treatment, and clinical efficacy and safety. In turn, such improvements may decrease overall treatment times, the number of repeat treatments, and the re-treatment rate.

  • Publication number: 20200340250
    Abstract: A rebar coupler having a casing with two opposite ends disposed along a central longitudinal axis. Each opposite end includes a frustum-shaped internal wall tapering along the axis from an inward to an outward position, as well as an assembly of a plurality of locking jaws, arrayed around the axis and engaging the internal wall, at least a portion of a spring, aligned with the axis and engaging the locking jaws, and a spacer, initially positioned within and engaging the locking jaws to separate the locking jaws and bias the assembly towards the inward position. The spacer is ejectable from the locking jaws through a center of the spring by insertion of a rebar end through the outward position and past the initial position of the spacer, whereupon the spring biases the locking jaws toward the outward position and into full engagement with the rebar end.
