| 20080200857 | System and method for distinguishing leaks from a disengaged canister condition in a reduced pressure treatment system - A reduced pressure treatment system includes a processing unit, a reduced pressure source, and a conduit fluidly connected between the reduced pressure source and a tissue site of a patient. The reduced pressure source is configured to operate at a target power level to apply a reduced pressure to the tissue site. A canister is provided to collect fluid drawn from the tissue site. A sensor is provided in communication with the reduced pressure source to determine a source pressure at the reduced pressure source, and an alarm indicator is provided in communication with the processing unit. The processing unit communicates a leak alarm signal or a canister disengaged alarm signal to the alarm indicator when an actual power level of the reduced pressure source exceeds the target power level for a selected period of time. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20080281244 | Electronic bandage with flexible electronic controller - An electronic bandage includes (i) bandage material, (ii) a treatment portion supported by the bandage material, the treatment portion being constructed and arranged to provide a treatment, and (iii) a flexible electronic controller supported by the bandage material. The flexible electronic controller combines with the bandage material and the treatment portion to form a conformable bandage which conforms to a treatment surface. The flexible electronic controller is constructed and arranged to dynamically control application of the treatment to the treatment surface while the conformable bandage conforms to the treatment surface. Such a bandage is capable of being packaged as a unitary body which is small, inexpensive and/or disposable. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090012439 | Attachment Member for Semiconductor Sensor Device - A semiconductor sensor device is electrically coupled to an object. An attachment member attaches the semiconductor sensor device to the object. The attachment member comprises a first conductive contact region and a second conductive contact region. An insulating portion is electrically isolates the semiconductor sensor device from the first conductive contact region and second conductive contact region. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090209896 | Method and apparatus for time-dependent and temperature-dependent clinical alert - Devices and methods are disclosed for measuring a pre-defined period as a method to alert medical personnel of the need for clinical intervention. Many invasive and non-invasive medical procedures require constant monitoring or intervention. Failure to properly observe or intervene may result in clinical harm. The devices and methods disclosed herein are useful in any field of medicine where periodic monitoring or procedures are required. The devices is designed to be familiar to medical personnel, and in its most common form will be packaged as a band aid, but may also be packaged as a coin sized device that adheres to or clips onto a patient's bandage, limb, or on a necklace. The timer provides an audible warning of timeout, a visual indication of timeout, a tactile indication or any combination of the three. The number of hours in the countdown sequence is variable and determined from a series of choices provided to the caregiver. The device can be used to monitor temperature and warn of an infection. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100081982 | PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE TAPE OR SHEET FOR APPLICATION TO SKIN, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - The present invention provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or sheet for application to skin, which contains: a stretch fabric, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on one surface of the stretch fabric, in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains: an acrylic copolymer obtained from a monomer mixture including an alkyl(meth)acrylate of from 40 to 80% by weight, an alkoxy (meth)acrylate of from 10 to 50% by weight and a (meth)acrylic acid of from 1 to 10% by weight; a long-chain fatty acid glycerin ester in an amount of from 20 to 100 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the acrylic copolymer, and a crosslinking agent, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer being crosslinked with the crosslinking agent; and also provides a process for producing the tape or sheet. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100210986 | NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND TREATMENT DRESSINGS AND SYSTEMS - Dressings, systems, and methods to facilitate the application of reduced pressure to an extremity, such as heel, on a patient are provided. In one instance, a dressing for treating an extremity on a patient includes a drape envelope, a transport manifold, and a pouch. The drape envelope has an outer drape member, inner drape member, and an interior portion between the outer drape member and the inner drape member. The inner drape member has fenestrations on at least an application portion. The transport manifold is disposed within the interior portion of the drape envelope. The pouch is for receiving the extremity and includes the drape envelope and a pouch-forming attachment. The dressing allows reduced pressure to be initially supplied at a remote location from the wound and avoid leaks. Other systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110092868 | Filtered Fluid Pump Dispenser with Direct Application Mode - A filtered fluid pump spray dispenser and applicator assembly includes a container having a pump spray mechanism connected to a fluid feed tube immersed in a fluid to be dispensed. The open end of the fluid feed tube is covered by a porous and permeable filter, which filters particulate matter from the fluid during spray mode fluid dispensing.
