DEVICE FOR TREATMENT OF SPINAL CORD INJURIES AND EDEMA OF SPINAL CORD Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A61B17/56 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment. Device for the treatment of spinal cord injuries and edema of the spinal cord is made in the form of a prosthetic vertebral body with a hollow body, ventral and dorsal walls of which have openings for temperature sensors. Ventral wall has a rounded surface, and in the dorsal wall there is a grooved channel. Body contains a cooling system, including: switching and power supply unit, communication module unit, microcontroller unit, battery unit, Peltier unit, temperature sensor unit, charger antenna unit. Memory of the microcontroller unit has a program for controlling the temperature of cooling and communication with an external computer, temperature sensor block contains sensors for measuring the temperature of the spinal cord, located in the openings of the dorsal wall of the vertebral body and for measuring the temperature of adjacent tissues in the holes of the ventral wall of the prosthesis. Sensors are insulated from the main body material with a heat insulating lining. Peltier block of elements is located along the dorsal wall of the prosthesis.

EFFECT: stabilization of the vertebral segment is ensured by replacing the vertebra with a prosthesis and local cooling of the spinal cord at the point of contact of the prosthesis and spinal cord during autonomous wireless operation of the device in the body in the intraoperative and postoperative periods.
