Mechanical Wound Therapy For Sub-Atmospheric Wound Care System
US Patent:
2014006, Mar 6, 2014
Filed:
Nov 11, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/076837
Inventors:
Michael S. Shuler - Athens GA, US
Assignee:
J&M Shuler Medical, Inc. - Athens GA
International Classification:
A61M 1/00, A61M 3/02
US Classification:
604319
Abstract:
A mechanical wound therapy (MWT) system includes a connection for a vacuum source, which is routed through an airtight covering to a porous material positioned over the wound. The porous material may be a tubing network interspaced by a netting material constructed of biologically inert or bioabsorbable material. Alternatively, the porous material may be a layered unified dressing in which layers of mesh, netting or thin perforated film are separated and fixedly attached to functional elements of the dressing (e.g., irrigation tubing) or spacers. The vacuum and irrigation systems may be completely separated. An airtight sealing layer or foldable adhesive sealing layer may seal the dressing and facilitate sealing the dressing to the wound margins. Additional modular devices such as a wound approximating system, positive pressure bladders and adjuvant therapy modules as well as enhanced monitoring technology can be added to synergistically increase the capabilities of each dressing.
Methods And Dressing Systems For Promoting Healing Of Injured Tissue
US Patent:
2014001, Jan 16, 2014
Filed:
Apr 21, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/867100
Inventors:
MICHAEL SIMMS SHULER - Athens GA, US
International Classification:
A61M 1/00
US Classification:
604319
Abstract:
A dressing system is disclosed which has a sponge and a near infrared spectroscopy sensor positioned adjacent to the sponge for monitoring oxygenation levels of tissue adjacent to the sponge. The dressing system may further include a tube coupled to the sponge for removing fluid from the sponge. The dressing system comprises: a sponge; and a tensioning system coupled to the sponge. The tensioning system further comprises a central longitudinal member coupled to the sponge; and at least one tensioning member coupled to the central longitudinal member. A sequential compression system comprises: an envelope sleeve dressing; and a bladder that is both expandable and retractable. A tissue filler system is also described and includes a plurality of tubes; wherein each of the plurality of tubes further comprises apertures; and a pump coupled to at least one of the tubes which obviates the need for any sponge or wound screen.
Method And System For Providing Versatile Nirs Sensors
US Patent:
2013031, Nov 28, 2013
Filed:
Nov 8, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/671861
Inventors:
MICHAEL SIMMS SHULER - Athens GA, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
600473
Abstract:
A wireless near-infrared spectrometry sensor includes a light source for emitting near-infrared energy into tissue and a light receiver for receiving the near-infrared energy after it exits the tissue. The sensor may include a portable energy source for supplying energy to the light source. A processing module may control the light source and process readings in connection with the light source. A wireless transceiver may be coupled to the processing module for at least one of transmitting and receiving information, wherein the light source emits near-infrared energy at predetermined intervals in order to conserve energy in the portable energy source. The portable energy source may include at least one of a battery, a capacitor, a thermoelectric generator, a kinetic energy transducer, electricity derived from RF energy, and any combination thereof. The sensor may further include a substrate for support and which may be part of a sterile bandage.

Method And System For Monitoring Oxygenation Levels Of Compartments And Tissue
US Patent:
8639309, Jan 28, 2014
Filed:
May 4, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/773312
Inventors:
Michael Simms Shuler - Athens GA, US
Assignee:
J&M Shuler, Inc. - Athens GA
International Classification:
A61B 5/0205
US Classification:
600324, 600323, 600481, 600483
Abstract:
A method and system for continually monitoring oxygenation levels in real-time in compartments of an animal limb, such as in a human leg or a human thigh or a forearm, can be used to assist in the diagnosis of a compartment syndrome. The method and system can include one or more near infrared compartment sensors in which each sensor can be provided with a compartment alignment mechanism and a central scan depth marker so that each sensor may be precisely positioned over a compartment of a living organism. The method and system may comprise hardware or software (or both) may adjust one or more algorithms based on whether tissue being monitored was traumatized or is healthy. The method and system can also monitor the relationship between blood pressure and oxygenation levels and activate alarms based on predetermined conditions relating to the oxygenation levels or blood pressure or both.
