Patents by Inventor David W. Smith, MD
David W. Smith has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes pending patent applications and patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Dr. David Smith, the founder of TBI Innovations LLC and Delta Chase LLC, both companies dedicated to protecting and improving the brain, has discovered how Nature protects the brains of her children in ways previously unknown, and he converted those discoveries into inexpensive products to us on the battlefield, whether sport or military. These products primarily reduce or prevent concussive forces from damaging the brain by overcoming Slosh energy absorption. These products work by filling the cranial reserve volume so that concussive forces pass right through the brain with minimal or no damage. In addition, Dr. Smith and his team continue working on ways to mitigate the effects of concussive forces on the brain and beyond, such as having produced some viable evidence that some brain damage may be able to be reversed if treatment occurs soon enough after the trauma.

DEVICES AND SYSTEMS TO MITIGATE TRAUMATIC BRAIN AND OTHER INJURIES CAUSED BY CONCUSSIVE OR BLAST FORCES
Methods and devices to reduce the likelihood of injury from concussive or blast forces
Publication number: 20200187957
Abstract: A method and device for reducing the damaging effects of radiant energy, blast, or concussive events include applying pressure to at least one jugular vein to reduce the egress of blood from the cranial cavity during or before the incidence of the imparting event. Reducing blood outflow from the cranial cavity increases the cerebrospinal fluid’s intracranial volume and/or pressure to reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury and injuries to the spinal column. Reducing blood outflow further increases the intracranial pressure and volume, and thereby increases the pressure and volume of the cochlear fluid, the vitreous humor, and the cerebrospinal fluid to thereby reduce the risk of injury to the inner ear, the internal structure of the eye, and of the spinal column. In addition, increasing intracranial pressure and volume reduces the likelihood of brain injury and any associated loss of olfactory function.

US10368877: Methods and devices to reduce damaging effects of concussive or blast forces on a subject
Abstract
Methods and devices to reduce damaging effects of concussive or blast forces on a subject
A method and device for reducing the damaging effects of a blast or concussive event includes applying pressure to at least one jugular vein to reduce the egress of blood from the cranial cavity during the incidence of the concussive event. Reducing blood out flow from the cranial cavity increases intracranial pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid to reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury and injuries to the spinal column. Reducing blood out flow further increases the intracranial pressure, and thereby increases the pressure of the cochlear fluid, the vitreous humor and the cerebrospinal fluid to thereby reduce the risk of injury to the inner ear, internal structure of the eye and of the spinal column. In addition, increasing intracranial pressure reduces the likelihood of brain injury and any associated loss of olfactory function

Abstract
Methods and devices to reduce the likelihood of injury from concussive or blast forces
A method and device for reducing the damaging effects of radiant energy, blast, or concussive events includes applying pressure to at least one jugular vein to reduce the egress of blood from the cranial cavity during or before the incidence of the imparting event. Reducing blood outflow from the cranial cavity increases intracranial volume and/or pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid to reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury and injuries to the spinal column. Reducing blood outflow further increases the intracranial pressure and volume, and thereby increases the pressure and volume of the cochlear fluid, the vitreous humor, and the cerebrospinal fluid to thereby reduce the risk of injury to the inner ear, the internal structure of the eye, and of the spinal column. In addition, increasing intracranial pressure and volume reduces the likelihood of brain injury and any associated loss of olfactory function.

US20130041352A1: Self-Cleansing Bladder Drainage Catheter
Abstract
Self-Cleansing Bladder Drainage Catheter
An indwelling endourethral drainage catheter includes a tubular distal portion and a spiral first portion. A central lumen extends along substantially the entire length of the catheter. The spiral first portion defines an outer spiral channel in fluid communication with the central lumen. The distal end of the catheter is anchored externally so that the catheter is held against advancement into or out of the urethra. In certain methods, the diameter of the spiral first portion may be changed to address obstructions within the urethra or facilitate navigation of the catheter along the urethra.
