Company patents
ZOLL Circulation, Inc.
ZOLL Circulation, Inc. demonstrates a patent strategy heavily focused on medical devices, with Implants & Prosthetics (48.4% of portfolio) and Physical Therapy Apparatus (33.9%) as core areas, despite a significant decline in patenting activity across most categories in 2025 and so far in 2026. While patenting in Healthcare Informatics saw a 100% YoY growth in 2024, indicating a brief emerging focus, this was followed by a 100% decline in 2025, suggesting a shifting priority away from this area.

Systems that utilize sensor arrays and processing capabilities to monitor patient activity, vital signs, or environmental conditions in therapeutic settings, providing alerts or adaptive control for safety and privacy.
Systems and devices for delivering gases, aerosols, or pressure support to the respiratory system, often including interfaces like masks and sophisticated control mechanisms for therapeutic effect or airway management.
Minimally invasive medical devices, typically flexible tubes, inserted into body lumens to deliver substances, remove obstructions, or perform localized treatments like ablation, dialysis, or drainage.
Devices that use motors, actuators, and control systems to provide active assistance, resistance, or repetitive motion for physical therapy, limb rehabilitation, or circulation enhancement.
Implantable devices that deliver electrical, optical, or other forms of energy to stimulate tissues or nerves, or sense physiological parameters for therapeutic purposes.
Software, algorithms, and associated hardware for monitoring, controlling, and optimizing battery performance, safety, and lifespan, including charge/discharge cycles, thermal regulation, and system integration.
Devices and systems that provide ergonomic support and precise positioning for patients during medical procedures, recovery, or extended care, often incorporating adjustability for comfort, injury prevention, or surgical access.
Mechanical or assistive systems designed to safely lift, move, or transfer patients between different positions, beds, chairs, or vehicles, often focusing on reducing caregiver strain and improving patient safety.
Development of devices and methods for non-invasive or minimally invasive collection and analysis of physiological data, often from wearable sensors, to monitor health, activity, or specific conditions.
Novel designs and configurations for heat exchangers that improve heat transfer efficiency, compactness, or enable specific phase change or separation processes within refrigeration and heat pump cycles.
Devices providing mechanical support, alignment, traction, or targeted compression to specific body parts, often focusing on joints, spine, or limbs, for therapeutic or corrective purposes.
