Method for fabricating a pressure sensor

Technology description Every year, clinicians in the United States alone place more than 1.5 million pulmonary artery catheters for the purpose of hemodynamic monitoring. Balloon occlusion of the aorta has emerged as a tool for controlling life-threatening hemorrhage from the pelvis and lower extremities. Currently, the pressure of the inflated balloon...

System to Interface with Targeted Neurons

Current neural interface and neuromodulation technologies lack the stability and specificity to target specific sensory or motor neurons within a nerve bundle. Emerging prosthetic devices for the central and peripheral nervous system require interfaces that can stimulate or sense targeted neurons with high discriminability to achieve very specific end-target...

Amorphous Silicon Carbide Ultramicroelectrode Arrays for Neural Interfaces

The clinical ability to record and stimulate neural activity with implanted microelectrode arrays has been limited by the problems of insertion trauma and foreign body response (FBR), which can lead to neuron damage and reduced reliability. Minimizing this tissue response is necessary for the development of implantable interfaces for studying neural...

Enhancing Plasticity and Recovery Following Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to a wide range of functional impairments that reduce the independence and quality of life for millions worldwide. Intense rehabilitation therapy is the most consistently effective therapy for SCI patients, but serious impairments may persist even after years of treatment.While the impairments that result from SCI are...

Improved Dental Abutment Geometries for Cement-Retained Crowns

According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, over 500,000 dental implants are performed per year in the United States. Despite being such a common procedure, peri-implant disease has been found to affect as much as 48% of implants according to the American Academy of Periodontology. Inefficiencies of commercial dental implant systems have...

Multifunctional Ionic liquids for Surface Modification of Dental Implants

Titanium dental implants are known for their high success rates and adequate osseointegration in vivo. However, with an increasing number of implants used, higher incidence of failures has been reported. These failures have been associated with microbial colonization, peri-implant inflammation, corrosion, implant design, overload, as well as a combination...
