Patent number: 11887503Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a simulated wound apparatus allowing a wearer to simulate injuries for purposes of casualty simulation and medical response training. Aspects of the present disclosure are directed towards a wearable medical training device and more specifically a device for training of hemorrhage control procedures on junctional bleeding. The present disclosure, when used by a live actor, may allow users to safely simulate hemorrhaging in some of the most challenging blood vessels in the most challenging anatomical locations such as the carotid artery, the axillary artery, and the femoral artery. The present disclosure may further provide the ability for users to safely perform hemorrhage control procedures, such as compression and ligation. The simulated wound of the present disclosure may be compressed to control hemorrhage. The simulated wound receptacle of the present disclosure may be packed with hemostatic or simple gauze to control hemorrhage.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2023Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Inventor: Stuart C. Segall

Publication number: 20220020293Abstract: A wearable device for simulating wounds and injuries received during a trauma event includes a raiment and vest for covering the torso of a person. The raiment has an outer surface with a color and a texture comparable to human skin. Mounted on the outer surface is at least one wound simulator formed with an orifice that is in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir. Thus, the person can selectively expel a blood-like fluid from the reservoir, and through the wound simulator orifice, to simulate a trauma event. The vest includes an artificial rib cage and prosthetic internal organs juxtaposed with at least one wound simulator to simulate internal effects of a trauma event.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2021Publication date: January 20, 2022Inventors: Stuart C.

Publication number: 20220010541Abstract: A field-deployable construction set for the assembly of a Relocatable Habitat Unit (RHU) and associated panels, used for simulating real world environments without costly construction expenses. The various panels, supports, and accessories used to construct an RHU may be interchangeable and readily modified in the field with minimal tools, further providing significant options for reconfiguration of floor, ceiling, and wall panels without having to disassemble the structure. The exterior of the lightweight panels may be customizable to provide a realistic environment for high quality training in a versatile system that is deployable by truck or aircraft and can be assembled with only a single tool. The RHU or components thereof may simulate a real building structure both visually and in a non-visual domain such as via electromagnetic sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2021Publication date: January 13, 2022Inventors: Stuart C.

Patent number: 10977962Abstract: The Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis Simulation Device of the present disclosure includes a base with a depression to receive a simulated eye, a skin covering, and a plug having a plug head and a plug band that is removably attached to the base under said skin covering, where the band is under tension between the first end and the second end to simulate a canthal tendon. The plug band is pulled through an opening formed into the skin covering and an opening formed into the base. A bending member is attached at one end to a stationary member and the other end to plug. The simulated eye is attached to a hook, which is used with the bending member to move to simulated eye away from the base to simulate proptosis. When plug band is cut, bending member moves to a relaxed configuration and simulated eye moves back towards base.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Inventor: Stuart C.
