Norbert Kaula: Pioneering Innovator in Neurostimulation and Lead Placement Evaluation
Norbert Kaula, hailing from Arvada, Colorado, is a highly accomplished inventor and patent holder with an impressive portfolio of 129 patents. Known for his groundbreaking advancements in the fields of diagnostic, neurostimulating, and therapeutic methods, Kaula has made significant contributions to medical science.
One notable patent of Kaula's is for a diagnostic, neurostimulating, and therapeutic method applied to biological targets that are naturally integrated with each other. This invention presents a technique for coordinated neurostimulation of multiple biological targets, particularly nerves. The method involves disintegrating and separating the biological targets, followed by wrapping an electrode device around them. This electrode device includes suture holes for secure attachment to the targets. By stitching the electrode device through these suture holes, a stable electrical connection can be established between the electrodes and the biological targets.
Another remarkable patent by Kaula involves systems, methods, and devices for evaluating lead placement based on patient physiological responses. This invention focuses on assessing the efficacy of lead placement for electrical stimulation therapies implanted inside a patient. By determining the ideal range of electrical stimulation parameters based on patient responses, the implantation of the lead can be effectively evaluated and adjusted for optimal results.
Throughout his illustrious career, Kaula has worked with esteemed companies such as NuVasive, Inc. and Greatbatch Ltd. (now known as Integer Holdings Corporation). Collaborating with renowned professionals and industry experts, Kaula has further honed his skills and contributed to cutting-edge developments in the medical device sector.
