Latest Patents

The available information lists 1 patent for Jourdan: “Device for Determining the Abdominal Wall Dynamic Biomechanical Behavior, and a Method Making Use of Such a Device.”

The invention describes an adjustable, flexible frame with central, left lateral, and right lateral areas. A network of sensors attached to the frame measures local deformations and/or forces on the abdomen. Connecting means link the sensors to a treatment unit, while optional positioning and adjustment features help place and fit the device on the subject.

The device is intended to evaluate or monitor intra-abdominal pressure, abdominal wall deformations, and the risk of incisional hernia without invasive procedures. The patent also describes a system combining the device with a treatment unit, as well as a method for determining a subject’s dynamic abdominal wall biomechanics.
