Method And Device For Locating And Mapping Nerves

View page
US Patent:
6535759, Mar 18, 2003
Filed:
Oct 20, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/692418
Inventors:
Richard Epstein - McGaw Park IL
David G. Abichaker - West Roxbury MA
Richard P. Rego - Mansfield MA
Assignee:
Blue Torch Medical Technologies, Inc. - Ashland MA
International Classification:
A61B 505
US Classification:
600547
Abstract:
The present application discloses a method and device for locating and mapping the cavernosal nerve bundle by electro-stimulation to enable safe and effective implantation of radioactive seeds for prostate brachytherapy. By locating and mapping the cavernosal nerve bundle prior to seed implantation, the brachytherapist can make intra-operative decisions to avoid mechanical and radiational injury to the nerve which results in impotency or other prostate-Urethral complications. The device of the invention takes the form of an automated closed-looped electro-stimulating system having a handle for manipulating the device, a stimulating tip for applying an electro-stimulus to a tissue site, a control unit to activate and terminate application of the electro-stimulus and to interpret a tumescence response, a sensor for detecting and measuring a tumescence response, a patient ground return, and a display monitor to indicate the nature, stability and strength of the tumescence response to the brachytherapist. If the control unit concludes that the applied electro-stimulus failed to evoke a tumescence response in excess of a pre-determined baseline and that the tissue lacks cavernosal nerve bundle fibers, radioactive seeds can be implanted in the prostate through the stimulating tip which also serves as a brachytherapy seed implantation needle. Alternatively, the coordinates of the tissue site can be mapped on the perineal grid or on a pre-plan grid for later seed implantation.

Process For Histological Tissue Specimen Treatment That Includes Variable Sensitivity Level Control

View page
US Patent:
50495100, Sep 17, 1991
Filed:
Jan 5, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/461379
Inventors:
Roger J. Repasi - Monroeville PA
David G. Abichaker - West Roxbury MA
Jerry C. Premus - Scottdale PA
Assignee:
Fisher Scientific Company - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
G01N 130
A01N 100
B05D 136
US Classification:
436176
Abstract:
A histological tissue specimen treatment process includes the steps of placing a plurality of histological tissue specimens to be processed in chamber structure, closing the chamber structure, monitoring the level of a first tissue processing material flowed into the chamber structure with a sensor system that responds to a characteristic of the first tissue processing material, terminating the flow of the first tissue processing material when the histological tissue specimens are immersed in the first tissue processing material, flowing the first tissue processing material from the chamber structure after the histological tissue specimens have been immersed in the first tissue processing material for a predetermined time interval, monitoring the level of a second tissue processing material flowed into the chamber structure with the sensor system in a changed sensitivity condition, terminating the flow of the second tissue processing material when the plurality of histological tissue specimens are immersed in the second tissue processing material, and flowing the second tissue processing material from the chamber structure after the plurality of histological tissue specimens have been immersed in the second tissue processing material for a predetermined time interval.

Method And Device For Locating A Nerve

View page
US Patent:
62599453, Jul 10, 2001
Filed:
Apr 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/303501
Inventors:
Richard Epstein - Sharon MA
David G. Abichaker - Boston MA
Assignee:
UroMed Corporation - Norwood MA
International Classification:
A61B 505
US Classification:
600547
Abstract:
An improved method and device for locating a nerve based on a closed-loop automated system is described. The device applies an electro-stimulus to a target tissue area and measures and interprets a change in a response evoked by application of an electro-stimulus to determine the location and responsiveness of a nerve. The improvement of the invention comprises a method for determining if the signal of the response is stable prior to application of electro-stimulation to prevent misinterpretation of a response and to enhance the locating accuracy of the device.

Method And Apparatus For Sensing A Fluid Handling

View page
US Patent:
52452921, Sep 14, 1993
Filed:
Sep 23, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/949748
Inventors:
Lawrence Milesky - Needham MA
David G. AbiChaker - West Roxbury MA
Assignee:
Iniziative Marittime 1991, S.R.L. - Turin
International Classification:
G01N 114
G01N 2117
US Classification:
324639
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for sensing fluid interface(s) in a complex fluid such as centrifuged blood, includes a sensing assembly with a microwave source and a microwave sensor positioned in spaced opposed relation, the microwave source and sensor defining a microwave propagation path. Relative motion is induced between the sample container and the microwave energy propagation path in the region between the source and sensor in a direction that intersects and is essentially perpendicular to the microwave energy propagation path; and processor apparatus responsive to the scanning apparatus and the modification in microwave energy sensed by the microwave sensor provides an indication(s) of the location(s) of a fluid interface(s) in the container.
