Systems and methods of localizing or delivery cells, biologics and/or drugs to a specific target area to treat pelvic health disorders are provided. A treatment composition including cells, biologics and/or drugs are associated with magnetic particulates, and the positioning of these materials is facilitated through use of a magnetic field-generating device that is configured to be placed on or into a pelvic anatomical structure. Certain embodiments directed to the treatment of ED in male patients can include a cell based therapy system.

Systems and methods for the treatment of pelvic disorders including magnetic particulates

The invention provides methods for the treatment of vaginal laxity which include delivering a cell-containing composition to the vagina. The composition can include fat tissue to provide a bulking effect to reduce the size of the vaginal opening. The cells can provide healing and revascularization of the vaginal treatment area to sustain the bulking provided by the fat. The invention also provides systems and compositions useful for performing the method, and can include instruments and devices for removal of autologous adipose tissue from a patient (e.g., by liposuction), equipment for the enrichment of cells from adipose tissue, mechanical processing of adipose tissue, and the mixing of cells and processed adipose tissue. Devices for the delivery of the cell compositions to the vagina can also be included in the system.

An electrical stimulation device configured to perform an electrical stimulation therapy on a patient includes a stimulation circuit, at least one electrode lead comprising one or more electrodes, a communication circuit and a controller. The controller is configured to execute a stimulation program received through the communication circuit. Electrical stimulation pulses are generated by the stimulation circuit and delivered to the at least one electrode lead in response to the execution of the stimulation program.

Electrical stimulation device having remote access

An implantable electrical stimulation device configured to treat multiple pelvic conditions of a patient includes a pulse generator, memory, first and second electrode leads comprising one or more electrodes, a switch and a controller. The switch has a first state, in which the first electrode lead is electrically coupled to the pulse generator, and a second state, in which the second electrode lead is electrically coupled to the pulse generator. The controller includes at least one processor that is configured to execute at least one stimulation program stored in the memory. The controller is also configured to selectively set the switch in the first or second state. Electrical stimulation pulses generated by the pulse generator responsive to the execution of the stimulation program are delivered to the first or second electrode lead depending on the state of the switch.

Electrical stimulation device having multiple stimulation channels

A tibial nerve stimulation therapy device configured to provide an electrical stimulation therapy to branches of the tibial nerve includes a plurality of stimulation electrodes, a support member, a stimulation circuit, and a sensing circuit. The support member is configured to support the plurality of electrodes on a top surface of an ankle area of the patient. The stimulation circuit is configured to generate electrical stimulation pulses. The sensing circuit is configured to generate an output signal indicative of an electromyogram (EMG) signal generated by the patient.

Tibial nerve stimulation therapy device calibration

A stimulation therapy device provides an electrical stimulation therapy to branches of the tibial nerve of a patient. The device comprises a support member configured to be worn around the ankle or foot of the patient, first and second pairs of electrodes attached to the support member, and a stimulation circuit attached to the support member. The stimulation circuit is configured to deliver electrical stimulation pulses through the first and second pairs of electrodes.

A CRM system enhances intracardiac electrogram-based arrhythmia detection using a wireless electrocardiogram (ECG), which is a signal sensed with implantable electrodes and approximating a surface ECG. In one embodiment, an intracardiac electrogram allows for detection of an arrhythmia, and the wireless ECG allows for classification of the detected arrhythmia by locating its origin. In another embodiment, the wireless ECG is sensed as a substitute signal for the intracardiac electrogram when the sensing of the intracardiac electrogram becomes unreliable. In another embodiment, a cardiac signal needed for a particular purpose is selected from one or more intracardiac electrograms and one or more wireless ECGs based on a desirable signal quality. In another embodiment, intracardiac electrogram-based arrhythmia detection and wireless ECG-based arrhythmia detection confirm with each other before indicating a detection of arrhythmia of a certain type.

A tibial nerve stimulation therapy device configured to provide an electrical stimulation therapy to branches of the tibial nerve includes a plurality of stimulation electrodes, a stimulation circuit configured to generate electrical stimulation pulses, a sensing circuit configured to generate an output signal indicative of an electromyogram (EMG) signal generated by the patient, and a controller. The controller is configured to execute a plurality of unique stimulation therapies in accordance with unique stimulation therapy settings, analyze the output signals generated by the sensing circuit after each of the stimulation therapies, and designate final stimulation therapy settings based on the analyzed output signals. The stimulation therapy settings include an identification of a pair of the electrodes through which the electrical stimulation pulses are delivered during a stimulation therapy, and/or at least one parameter defining the electrical stimulation pulses generated by the stimulation circuit.
