Electrode “buckle” anchor device, RIH 1385

Overview Percutaneous dorsal column stimulating electrodes have a high rate of migration that leads to clinical failures. We have designed a low profile, flat device with holes in it for an electrode or electrodes to pass and a suture (or screws) to pass to secure it and the electrode to prevent the electrode from migrating. Other devices exist to...

Matrilin-2 within a Lysine Augmented Chitosan Scaffold for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration, RIH 1354

Overview Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) may cause partial to complete loss of sensory and motor function, leading to loss of independence, chronic pain, and a significant decline in quality of life. We have developed a biomimetic regenerative nerve scaffold with chemotactic properties, improving cell migration, axonal outgrowth, and overall improvement...

Percutaneous method for clearing epidural adhesions, RIH 1372

Overview Neuromodulation has tremendous future applications in medicine and electrodes can be placed in the epidural space in the brain and in the spine. Currently, one challenge in deploying epidural electrodes in the brain or spine, in a minimally invasive way, is to get them to expand to cover the epidural space because they can be restricted by...

Surgical Drain Rescue, RIH 324

Overview Surgical drains are used frequently in operations to allow fluid to drain out of the body. Typically, these drains are flexible tubing that collects in a bulb or accordion collection receptacle. Surgical drains are placed near the end of the operation, and, after placement, the wound is closed. One of the risks of placing a surgical drain,...
