Treatment of indications using electrical stimulation

InactiveUS20090326602A1Reduce or preventSufficient lengthElectrotherapyArtificial respirationSurface electrodePosterior tibial nerve
In one embodiment, a method includes implanting an implant entirely under the subject's skin. The implant includes a passive electrical conductor of sufficient length to extend from subcutaneous tissue located below one of a surface cathodic electrode and a surface anodic electrode to the tibial nerve. The surface electrodes are positioned in spaced relationship on the subject's skin, with one of the electrodes positioned over the pick-up end of the electrical conductor such that the portion of the current is transmitted through the conductor to the tibial nerve, and such that the current flows through the tibial nerve and returns to the other of the surface cathodic electrode and the surface anodic electrode. An electrical current is applied between the surface cathodic electrode and the surface anodic electrode to cause the portion of the electrical current to flow through the implant to stimulate the tibial nerve.

Adjustable Dental Impression Tray with Adaptive Lock

InactiveUS20170202648A1Prevent and eliminate any injuryReduce or preventImpression capsSingle useImpression trays
An improved dental impression tray system provides a way to accommodate multiple arch sizes by incorporating a plurality of arch accommodating markers (AAM) and adaptive locking Mechanisms (ALM) into one adaptive dental impression tray (ADIT). Upon trying in an impression tray for a patient, the size of the ADIT can be adjusted by removing one or more AAMs and securely affixing the male ALM (hereafter mALM) into the female ALM (hereafter fALM) until a customized sized tray is configured which best fits the patient's anatomy. This novel arch accommodating and adaptive locking mechanism allows the operator to customize one tray to ideally fit each patient in a manner which, among other benefits, reduces time, cross-contamination, waste, expense, improves the accuracy of the intended impression and reduces patient discomfort because the ALM protects the patient from any rough or sharp edges. Additionally, the ADIT can be manufactured in various manners such as but not limited to: for disposable / single-use or sterilizeable / multiple use, can be made of one piece or multiple interlocking pieces, and can be designed to accommodate single-arch / open mouth impressions or dual-arch / closed bit impressions.
