High-power pulsed electromagnetic field applicator system
Described herein are high-power pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) applicator systems. The systems can comprise a base housing including a controller configured to generate a low-power control signal and one or more applicators coupled to the base. Each applicator can include a drive circuitry comprising a generator configured to receive the low-power control signal and to produce, in the applicator, a high-power, pulsed electromagnetic field signal based on the low-power control signal. The high-power pulsed electromagnetic field signal can have a power of greater than 40W. Each applicator can further include a coil circuit configured to emit the high-power pulsed electromagnetic field signal, and an electromagnetic energy shield disposed between the drive circuitry and the coil circuit.
METHODS AND DEVICES FOR TREATING EXTERNAL FIXATION SITES
An apparatus includes multiple first reservoirs and multiple second reservoirs joined with a substrate. Selected ones of the multiple first reservoirs include a reducing agent, and first reservoir surfaces of selected ones of the multiple first reservoirs are proximate to a first substrate surface. Selected ones of the multiple second reservoirs include an oxidizing agent, and second reservoir surfaces of selected ones of the multiple second reservoirs are proximate to the first substrate surface.
Apparatus and method for treatment of wounds and skin medical conditions at a predetermined skin area
A system for treatment of wounds consists of a treatment housing, a fluid delivery mechanism for supplying debridement fluids to the wound treatment area, an evacuation mechanism for evacuation of debris from the treatment chamber. A handheld device is connected to the treatment housing, wherein its interior accommodates a laser source, a scanning device, an image recording device and at least one sensor/detector, a control unit having a microprocessor for controlling operation of the system. The sensor detects concentration of various substances in the wound, and the microprocessor analyzes data obtained by the sensor and generates signals to adjust parameters of the laser, the liquid dispensing nozzles and the suction outlet to optimize removal of necrotic tissue so as to ultimately to promote wound healing.
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.
APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF DAMAGED TISSUE
A therapeutic apparatus for treating damaged tissue on a limb or body of a subject includes a wearable adapted to cover and be secured to the limb or body of a subject over damaged tissue. The wearable being configured to reduce pressure on the damaged tissue and adapted to deliver one or more treatments selected from the group consisting of heat, oxygen, electrical current, and light to the damaged tissue.
Method and Apparatus for Injury Treatment
An electrical stimulation apparatus provides an electrical stimulation signal as a DC pulse train at a frequency between 20 kHz and 50 kHz, with the electrical stimulation signal applied to the body of a patient at an injury site, based on sequentially activating respective subsets among a set of electrodes included in an electrode carrier that places the electrodes in contact with the body of the patient. An electrical stimulation method sequentially activates, via an electrical stimulation signal, respective subsets of electrodes among a set of electrodes contacting the body of a patient at an injury site on the body of the patient. Advantageously, in one or more embodiments, the sequential activation follows an activation sequence that “moves” the sources and sinks for the electrical stimulation signal around the injury site, thereby creating spatially distributed signal paths through or across the injury over time.
METHODS AND DEVICES FOR TREATING SKIN CONDITIONS
Provided are methods and devices for treating skin conditions using an electrical signal applied to the skin of a subject.
AN ELECTRICAL STIMULATION SYSTEM
An electric simulation system for home technical textiles, medical and hygiene technical textiles. The system applies electrical stimulation in order to prevent pressure ulcers with a proactive approach. With the system, in contrast to existing electrical simulation applications, blood pressure is increased at body stable pressure points before the development of pressure ulcers. In the system, a selective mechanism is developed instead of applying a fixed electrical stimulation to the whole body. In the system where electrical stimulation is applied, muscles surrounding blood vessels are stimulated and an effect equivalent to natural movement mechanism of body is provided. Thus blood is put into order and suspension of oxygen and nutrition is prevented, accumulation of waste products in cells is provided and defence mechanism of cells is kept active against invasion of cells by micro-organisms, and thus pressure ulcers are proactively prevented.
