The present invention relates to a medical treatment device for stimulating neurons of a patient. The device comprises a first non-invasive stimulating device for generating at least two different first stimuli to a patient's body, a second non-invasive stimulating device for generating at least two different second stimuli to the patient's body, and a control unit for selectively and intermittently actuating the stimulating devices. In a first operating mode, the control unit is configured to actuate the first stimulating device in a sequence of successive actuating periods such that a number n of first stimuli to be generated simultaneously during the actuating periods is variedly determined across the sequence and to actuate the second stimulating device so as to generate the second stimuli to be paired to the generation of at least a part of the first stimuli. In a second operating mode, the control unit is configured to actuate the second stimulating device so as to generate the second stimuli to be de-coupled from the generation of at least a part of the first stimuli.

The skin therapy system includes a body part shaped encaser including a first and second film substrate and an encaser liner disposed between the first and second film substrates. An outer peripheral edge of the encaser liner is sealed between outer peripheral edges of the first and second film substrates to create a hermetic seal forming a first fillable space between the first film substrate and a first layer of the encaser liner, a second fillable space between the second film substrate and a second layer of the encaser liner, and an internal volume defined by the first and second layers of the encaser liner and disposed between the first and second fillable spaces. The skin therapy system further includes a therapeutic composition contained within the first and second fillable spaces.

Apparatus and methods to install, support and/or monitor performance of intraosseous devices
11103281 · 2021-08-31 · ·

A system and method are provided to monitor performance of an intraosseous device by using a supporting structure and an attachment mechanism. The attachment mechanism releasably secures the supporting structure proximate an insertion site for the intraosseous device. The supporting structure includes an opening formed therein and sized to receive at least a portion of the intraosseous device. A sensor detects parameters associated with providing fluids and/or medications through the intraosseous device to the bone marrow. The attachment mechanism and the supporting structure cooperate with each other to minimize movement of the intraosseous device relative to the insertion site when the portion of the intraosseous device is disposed in the opening of the supporting structure.

Systems and methods for reducing contaminants in a portion of a patient

Systems and methods for reducing pathogens near an implant are discussed. In some cases, the methods include reducing contaminants in a portion of a patient that has an implant and that is disposed interior to a closed surface of skin of the patient. The method can further include placing a conduit in the closed surface of skin and flowing an antimicrobial fluid into that portion of the patient to contact the antimicrobial fluid with a surface of the implant and tissue adjacent to the implant. In some cases, the antimicrobial fluid is then removed from the portion of the patient having the implant. As part of this method, biofilm near the implant can be mechanically, ultrasonically, electrically, chemically, enzymatically, or otherwise disrupted. Other implementations are described.
