Patents by Inventor Michael Patrick Willand

Michael Patrick Willand has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12616832
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are disclosed for the treatment of injured peripheral nerves or other tissue using electrical stimulation. The systems can be used either in intraoperative or peri-operative settings and incorporate the use of either a plurality of monopolar electrodes with a patch used as return or a plurality of bipolar electrodes such as a cuff. The systems can provide hands-free delivery of electrical stimulation therapy over a predetermined set of time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 11, 2022
    Date of Patent: May 5, 2026
    Assignee: Epineuron Technologies Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Patrick Willand, Sergio David Aguirre
  • Patent number: 12611538
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are disclosed related to shapeable lead assemblies. Such lead assemblies can be configured to be shaped in a desired manner before and/or during a procedure, such as, for example, after the lead assembly has been at least partially placed within the anatomy of a subject. The shapeable lead assembly can be shaped during a neuroregenerative procedure to contact and/or otherwise interface with a targeted nerve.

  • Publication number: 20250339082
    Abstract: Systems and devices for providing stimulation to target tissue to locate nerves. Devices may incorporate the use of haptic feedback to provide surgeons optimal communication of device status and/or target tissue excitability. Haptic communication may also work in conjunction with visual indicators to provide dual confirmatory responses to the user or signal other information. Haptic communication is also used to be timed with the application of electrical stimulation to elicit a feeling of contraction in the surgeon's hands as they apply electrical stimulation to a target nerve that results in a muscle contraction.

  • Publication number: 20220313984
    Abstract: A method of managing pain related to a peripheral nerve injury of a subject comprises delivering stimulation energy of a first frequency to the target nerve via at least one electrode assembly during a regenerative phase and delivering stimulation energy of a second frequency for a predetermined period via the at least one electrode assembly during at least one neuropathic pain management phase.
