Biocompatible hemostatic, antiblocking, healing-promoting and surgical wound-closing modified starch material

The invention relates to a modified starch material for biocompatible hemostasis, biocompatible anti-adhesion, tissue healing promotion, absorbable surgery sealing and tissue adhesion. The invention applies biocompatible modified starch to animal tissues, wherein the modified starch material has the molecular weight of more than 15,000 daltons, and the particle diameter of between 1 and 1,000 mu m. The modified starch hemostatic material has stypticity, reduces hemorrhage, blood oozing and tissue fluid oozing of wounds, maintains relative moistening or drying of wound surfaces or the wounds, inhibits bacterium growth and inflammation reaction, and contributes to locally diminish inflammation of the wounds and relieve pain of patients. Moreover, the modified starch material can wash local parts after operation is over and remove redundant modified starch which does not participate in hemostasis, and can easily remove haemostatic under the condition of debridement treatment after self-help and first-aid treatment of war wounds; and hemostatic materials with a small amount of modified starch can be absorbed by the body, so that the pain of tearing of gauzes and bandages on people is avoided.

Non-invasive characterization of a physiological parameter

InactiveUS20100324398A1Insensitive to fluctuating patientInsensitive to environment conditionSensorsBlood characterising devicesData setPatient data
The present invention provides a method and device for characterizing a physiological parameter. The method, in one application, uses one or more non-invasive sensors to collect patient data, and may also collect data on environmental conditions. At least some of the patient data has a direct relationship with the physiological parameter, that is, a change in the physiological parameter is reflected in the data set, although the magnitude of the physiological parameter may masked by noise, interference, or other environmental or patient influences. The direct patient data preferably has a generally linear relationship with the physiological parameter, and if not, the patient data is linearized according to an algorithm, table, or other adjustment process. These linearizing processes may be predefined, and may adaptively learn or adjust. A blind signal source process is applied to the linearized data to generate separated signals, and the signal associated with the physiological parameter is identified. The identified signal is scaled or further processed, and the characterization result is presented. Although the method and device are described for use with a human, they may be advantageously used on animals.

Electronic apparatus including removable dust catcher

A fan is enclosed in the enclosure of an electronic apparatus. The fan discharges air out of a ventilation opening of the fan itself. Heat radiating fins are located in an air passage extending from the ventilation opening. A dust catcher is removably mounted in an opening of the enclosure from the outside of the enclosure. The dust catcher is located in the air passage between the heat radiating fins and the ventilation opening. The dust catcher serves to catch the dust in the air passage. The dust catcher is removed from the enclosure along with the dust. The dust is thus reliably cleared from the air passage. The dust catcher can then be cleaned. The cleaned dust catcher can again be set in the opening of the enclosure. Airflow of a sufficient amount is in this manner always kept in the air passage.

Pain management using cryogenic remodeling

Medical devices, systems, and methods for pain management and other applications may apply cooling with at least one probe inserted through an exposed skin surface of skin. The cooling may remodel one or more target tissues so as to effect a desired change in composition of the target tissue and / or a change in its behavior, often to interfere with transmission of pain signals along sensory nerves. Alternative embodiments may interfere with the function of motor nerves, the function of contractile muscles, and / or some other tissue included in the contractile function chain so as to inhibit muscle contraction and thereby alleviate associated pain. In some embodiments, other sources of pain such as components of the spine (optionally including herniated disks) may be treated.

Therapeutic device and system

Therapeutic devices that provide support or pressure to tissue. Devices contain a material that is capable of being contracted from its relaxed state to an evacuated state. The material applies pressure to the tissue of a patient when the material is in its relaxed state. Reduction of pressure by application of a vacuum results in a contracted state of the device, so that the device can be applied or delivered to a patient. Release of vacuum results in a return to the relaxed state, thus providing a maximum desirable pressure to tissue and avoiding the possibility of over-pressure which can result in tissue damage or necrosis.
