  • Publication number: 20230277115
    Abstract: A system to determine status of a pelvic condition in a subject characterised by abnormal contractility activity of a target pelvic structure is described. The system comprises a sensing module to measure electrical activity of the subjects pelvis at a plurality of time points during the subjects hormonal cycle, a signal processing module configured to receive electrical activity measurements from the sensing module and isolate from the electrical activity measurements electrical contractility parameter measurements representative of the target pelvic structure, and a processor module operably connected to the signal processing module.

  • Patent number: 10617430
    Abstract: A surgical bur with a head that defined a single flute. The flute has a rake surface with a cutting edge and an opposed recess edge. The cutting edge is spaced further from axis of shaft of the bur than the recess edge. The rake surface is often, but not always, planar.
