Rotatably-actuated endourethral artificial sphincter
The present invention relates to an artificial sphincter for implantation in a urethral canal, in particular for treating patients suffering from urinary incontinence.
Wearable mechatronic device for measuring the dilation of the uterine cervix during labor
The invention relates to a gynecological medical device and concerns an instrument to be used in the stage of labor that precedes the birth of the child.
Wearable assiste-walking device
The invention is able to reduce the speed of the foot and store its energy in a group of springs: in this way, the body can freely continue its movements without further interaction with the exoskeleton.
Implantable device for hemolysis optical detection
The invention relates a system made of a mechanical structure and a microfiltration system at the end of the VAD, allowing the separation of erithrocytes from the other blood components.
Natural bladder
The invention relates to an artificial bladder that can be implanted in a patient's body for the collection and discharge of urinary biological fluids
Artificial bladder and manufacturing process
The invention consists of a multilayered device whose conformation allows to have a non-polymeric internal layer with high resistance to urine
A miniature robotic device applicable to a flexible endoscope for the surgical dissection of a gastro-intestinal tract surface neoplasms
The invention is a tool installed as cap to the tip of an endoscope. The cap contains a teleoperation robot with 2 arms which the surgeon/endoscopist can control with an ergonomic console.
Wobble-type stepping electromagnetic micromotor
The invention is such as to provide an internal component and an annular component to this external one. The external component can have a stator role and the internal one a rotor role, or vice versa.
Kinematic chain for flexion-extension
This industrial patent proposes an apparently simple geometry (a degree of freedom) capable of arching by moving the center of instantaneous rotation of the end effector as a function of the input angle
Artificial heart muscle
This patent is focusing on an artificial heart muscle, an innovative artificial device able to replicate the natural human heart functionalities.
