Areas of Expertise:
Eitan T Wiener, a prolific inventor based in Cincinnati, OH (US), has been granted a staggering 100 patents over the course of his innovative career.
Among Wiener's latest inventions is a "Method for controlling an energy module output," which is designed to facilitate modular energy systems. This method includes determining which port of a plurality of ports a surgical instrument is connected to, selectively coupling an amplifier to that port, and controlling the amplifier to deliver a drive signal for driving the connected surgical instrument through the port.
In addition, Wiener has also developed an "Ultrasonic surgical instrument," which includes an ultrasonic blade, a transducer operably coupled to the blade, and a control circuit. The transducer is configured to transmit ultrasonic vibrations to the blade based on a drive signal, while the control circuit monitors a vibration frequency of the drive signal and modifies it based on changes in that frequency.
Wiener has worked for some of the biggest names in the medical device industry, including Cilag International GmbH (now known as Janssen-Cilag GmbH), a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, and Ethicon, a global leader in surgical sutures and staplers.
Wiener has collaborated with fellow inventors Jeffrey L Aldridge and James R Giordano, both of whom have played significant roles in the development of some of his most successful patents.
With his impressive body of work, Eitan T Wiener has established himself as a leading figure in the medical device industry, and his innovative spirit is sure to continue driving new breakthroughs in this field for years to come.
