Apparatus for minimally-invasive prevention and treatment of hydrocephalus and method for use of same
11324933 · 2022-05-10 · ·

An apparatus for minimally-invasive, including non-invasive, prevention and/or treatment of hydrocephalus and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the apparatus, a housing is sized for superjacent contact with a skull having a fontanel. Within the housing, a compartment includes a pressure applicator, such as a fluid-filled bladder, under the control of a pressure regulator. The pressure applicator is configured to selectively apply an external pressure to the fontanel. The compartment includes a pressure sensor configured to measure intracranial pulse pressure of the fontanel. Further, in one embodiment, the apparatus can cause pulse pressure modulation by adjusting the intracranial pulse pressure via the pressure applicator. This enables a non-invasive measurement of the pulse pressure and modulation thereof in infants, for example.

POSE-ADJUSTABLE RIGID-FLEXIBLE COUPLED WAIST REHABILITATION ROBOT

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of rehabilitation medical devices, and in particular relates to a pose-adjustable rigid-flexible coupled waist rehabilitation robot. The robot comprises a fixed platform, a movable platform connected to the fixed platform, a lumbar vertebra support assembly mounted on the movable platform, and two support airbags symmetrically arranged at both sides of the lumbar vertebra support assembly. The lumbar vertebra support assembly comprises a plurality of bellow air bags arranged in parallel. By controlling the pressure in a plurality of bellow air bags arranged in parallel, the lumbar vertebra support assembly at the lumbar vertebra position can be adjusted to different curvatures to adapt to different patients, such that the lumbar vertebra support assembly can support the lumbar vertebra part of the patient in a perfectly fitting manner to guarantee the comfort in the rehabilitation training process.

Various devices and methods useful for providing vasocompression to a patient who is undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

Pressure field stimulation device

Embodiments of the improved stimulation device include a cup and a driver. The cup has a cavity surrounded by a rim. The driver comprises a plate disposed on an underside of the cup, a cam disposed adjacent to the plate, and a motor mechanically coupled to the cam. The driver is configured to intermittently vary a volume of the cavity of the cup from a first volume to a second volume without returning the cup from the second volume to the first volume. In some embodiments, the cup returns from the second volume to the first volume, in between intermittent varying from the first volume to the second volume, due to the resilient nature of the material of the cup and/or the configuration of the cup. This varying of the volume between the first and second volumes creates a pressure field in a chamber formed by the cavity and a user's skin.
