Vascular Assist Methods And Apparatus
US Patent:
6007559, Dec 28, 1999
Filed:
Jun 12, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/096757
Inventors:
Edward J. Arkans - Carlsbad CA
Assignee:
ACI Medical - San Marcos CA
International Classification:
A61B 1700
US Classification:
606201
Abstract:
A vascular assist device which maintains a static graduated pressure as the minimum pressure at all times during use. At least two inflatable chambers which wrap around selected portions of a limb apply elevated pressure to selected portions of a limb to disgorge blood therefrom. The inflatable chambers also apply static pressure which is graduated from distal to proximal along selected portions of a limb, such as from the ankle to the hip. A separate inflatable foot chamber can be included and is not necessarily utilized in conjunction with the compression phases for the ankle, calf, or thigh inflatable chambers. A desired pressure level is generated and maintained in a pressure accumulator, and a pressure regulator and regulator valve control the pressure in the inflatable chambers. The inflatable chambers between the ankle and hip are inflated to a predetermined and uniform dynamic pressure which is maintained in the inflatable chambers for a predetermined amount of time. The pressure is then decreased to a static pressure level which is graduated in pressure from the most distal inflatable chamber to the most proximal inflatable chamber between the ankle and the hip.
Treatment Devices And Methods
US Patent:
2011019, Aug 11, 2011
Filed:
Feb 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/702288
Inventors:
Edward ARKANS - Carlsbad CA, US
International Classification:
A61H 7/00, A61H 9/00, A61N 1/36
US Classification:
601 15, 601 84, 601152
Abstract:
Venous therapy methods and apparatus improve arterial or venous blood flow, for example in the legs. Venous therapy can reduce venous backflow and can improve arterial therapy such as that provided by intermittent pneumatic compression therapy.
Fluidic Connector
US Patent:
6062244, May 16, 2000
Filed:
Aug 13, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/133463
Inventors:
Edward J. Arkans - Carlsbad CA
Assignee:
ACI Medical - San Marcos CA
International Classification:
F16L 2108
US Classification:
137 1
Abstract:
An apparatus for ensuring proper engagement between connectors in external pneumatic compression devices. Two or more compression bladders are connected via tubing to a controller by a mated connector unit. Each mated connector includes an upstream portion and a downstream portion. The upstream portion includes a shut-off valve per individually addressed bladder. The downstream portion includes structure which defeats or opens the shut-off valve in the upstream connector and allows for fluid flow. Internally and externally, the mated connectors are configured for reciprocal engagement. Even if visual orientation of the connectors fails, the reciprocal structure of the connectors prevents incorrect engagement therebetween.
