    Abstract: Embodiments provide devices, systems and methods for preventing deep vein (DV) thrombosis (DVT). One embodiment provides a DVT prevention device comprising a cuff that fits over a patient's leg, an applanator coupled to an inside cuff surface, an expandable member (EM) coupled to the applanator, a pressure source fluidically coupled to the EM and a controller for controlling inflation of the EM. When the EM is expanded, it applies a force to the applanator which is transmitted by the applanator as a force to the leg surface which causes a DV under the cuff to be compressed so as to minimize blood flow through the DV. The EM is then deflated, stopping DV compression and blood flow resumes. The EM can be inflated in a cycle including pulsed inflation, inflation hold and relaxation. The cycles can be repeated and adjusted to achieve a desired increase of flow/velocity in the DV.

The treatment further has the steps of activating acoustic shock waves or pressure pulses of an acoustic shock wave or pressure pulse generator to emit acoustic shock waves or pressure pulses and subjecting the one or more reflexology zones or the one or more reflexology zones and the area near a source of the medical condition or pain, if any is exhibited, to acoustic shock waves or pressure pulses to treat the medical condition.

  • Publication number: 20190209433
    Abstract: Arrangements are provided for “smart” functionality such as for tracking medication use to determine adherence, without requiring smart containers therefor. A bin is provided for receiving used/empty containers, packaging, or other discarded material incidental to the use of the medication. Sensors generate signals when the material is deposited within the bin, and a processor determines whether those signals correspond with the incidental material of interest. The processor also may identify when signals correspond with other, spurious material deposited in the bin. Responsive to a positive correspondence, a contextual event such as deposition of a used vial is stored, displayed, communicated, and/or otherwise registered. Contextual events, times therefor, lack of same, etc. are considered to provide authenticated determinations of adherence to a medication regimen.

  • Publication number: 20190209435
    Abstract: A container for a medical liquid, comprising a connection piece via which a medical liquid can be pumped into or out of the container, an attachment part which can be attached to the connection piece and connected to a pump device to pump a medical liquid or out of the container, and a sealing element for sealing a passage between the connection piece and the attachment part. The sealing element has a slot opening which is closed against a liquid flow when the pump device is not attached to the attachment part and which is open when the pump device is attached to the attachment part such that a medical liquid can be pumped through the slot opening. The attachment part has a connection portion with an opening into which the connection piece can be inserted along an insertion direction in order to connect to the attachment part.

    Abstract: A method and device for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis using a combination of an anti-mucositis agent and the device that is held in place for prolonged periods of time within the mouth. Portions of the device overlie and are brought into direct contact with the portions of the oral mucosa that are affected by oral mucositis. The method provides prolonged contact time of the anti-mucositis agents to the areas of the mucosa that are affected by oral mucositis. The combination may be used to treat oral mucositis or, prophylactically, to prevent oral mucositis that may occur in patients that receive chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

  • Publication number: 20190209437
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for whitening the teeth of a patient or subject are described for performing a dental prophylaxis or cleaning procedure during which at least one tooth whitening composition is applied to the surface of a stained tooth, said compositions and methods resulting in a tooth color change that is noticeable to the patient or subject immediately following the procedure. The novel procedure allows for a high degree of tooth whitening to be safely achieved in a short period of time while under the control of a dentist, dental hygienist, or other dental professional, and which at least partially coincides with the performance of a dental prophylaxis or cleaning procedure in order to save significant clinical operatory chair time compared to cleaning and whitening procedures that are performed in non-overlapping time frames or appointments. Light may also be used to enhance whitening.
