Venom Desensitizer
20210060332 · 2021-03-04 ·

Portable DC unit for delivery of a single titratable dose of free electrons at the site of envenomation in the treatment of venomous bites, allergic reactions to insect stings and other animals and contact with poisonous plants and their toxins. An extension wire provides a means of ensuring adequate coverage of large affected areas of the bite/sting area. The medical application of high voltage DC electrons in the treatment of venomous bites has been described by Ronald H. Guderian, Charles D. Mackenzie and Jeffrey F. Williams in the journal, Lancet (High Voltage Shock Treatment for Snake Bite, Lancet, 26 Jul. 1986). A follow-up publication in the same journal (Kroegel C., Meyer K H and Buschenfelde Z, Biological Basis for High-voltage -shock treatment for snakebite, Lancet, 6 Dec. 1986), provides additional details. Venomous vectors are primarily found in the wild but in the cases of venomous spiders and scorpions, the vectors may invade and occupy buildings and living spaces. When planning to spend time outdoors, most people consciously assume a degree of risk related to venomous vectors, caustic plants, and flying and stinging insects (i.e., although combining alcohol and drugs with outdoor activities oftentimes leads to poor judgment and increased risky behaviors). Even inadvertent contact with fire ants can be acutely and excruciatingly painful. The pain may be brief or it may last for days with significant local and even systemic effects. When humans invade nature's space and nature invades our living spaces, the effects can be nothing short of traumatic. If there was an effective and efficient tool or method to treat venomous bites and stings, it would significantly impact how most of the world lives and views the risk associated with venomous bites. If the tool or treatment was highly effective, it could truly change the nature of outdoor activities, including farming, agriculture, outdoor professions, camping, hiking, etc. The present invention utilizes several unique aspects of high voltage DC current directed to the envenomation site to neutralize the venom. For the above scenarios, the use of a high voltage and low amperage DC electrical device to neutralize the venom, disassociate the venomous components and slow down or halt the oxidative stress, is a desirable option for those working outdoors, in the agricultural sector, ranchers, hikers, campers, water sports, veterinarians, etc. The transfer of approximately 18 Kv to 25 Kv, at a distance of 50 mm between the contact electrodes (or longer distances when the extension wire is needed), overcomes skin resistance and delivers a direct current shock to the envenomation site, effectively stoppi

Systems, methods and devices for electrical stimulation therapy

Systems, devices and methods are provided for transcutaneously delivering energy impulses to bodily tissues for therapeutic purposes, such as for enhancing the body's bone healing process in spinal fusion patients. A therapeutic stimulator system comprises a housing for an energy source and a signal generator. The system further includes one or more electrodes coupled to the signal generator. A processor is coupled to the housing and configured to determine usage levels of the signal generator and/or motion data of the housing. The system may include a mobile device that allows the patient to input user status data, such as pain levels, and compare the user status data with the usage levels and/or the motion data, thereby improving patient compliance with a prescribed therapy regimen.

DEVICES AND METHODS FOR STIMULATION OF HAIR GROWTH

The present invention discloses a comb-like device for stimulation of hair re-growth on the epidermis of an area of skin of a subject and methods of stimulating hair re-growth for stimulation of hair re-growth.

Delivery assembly for percutaneously delivering and deploying an electrode array at a target location, the assembly including a steerable core around which the array is wrapped

An electrode array and a delivery assembly are disclosed. The array is wrapped around a flexible core part of the delivery assembly. A sheath, also part of the delivery assembly, is disposed over the array and core. Steering cables extend through the core. Once the delivery assembly-encased array is inserted in the body, the combination is advanced to the tissue over which the array is to be deployed. By pulling on the steering cables the array and assembly are steered into position. Once the array is in position, the sheath is retracted, the array deploys over the target tissue.
