A system for treating an occlusive region of a blood vessel comprises: a catheter outer tube forming a lumen for inflation of a centering balloon; a catheter inner tube lined with either internal spiral threads or point slots to assist controlled guidewire movement; and a rotatable guidewire that may be solid or hollow. The guidewire comprises a rotatable body and a proximal shaft. The rotatable body has two components: a distal rotating head and a proximal rotating shaft, wherein these components are of equal length and the rotating shaft resides within the proximal shaft. Linear force applied to the proximal shaft will result in the rotational guidewire tip puncturing cutting through an occlusion. In an alternative embodiment, the guidewire rotatable body comprises two mechanical rings and a compression spring, wherein when the spring is released via depression of a button, the guidewire tip drills through an occlusion.

The present invention relates to dual-spring assembly that may be employed in cooperation with a damper unit to form a shock absorber. The spring rate of at least one of the springs is adjustable with a preload mechanism, which in turn is movable relative to the damper unit. Further, the dual-spring assembly includes two compression springs arranged in series and each having selected, but different spring rates. The first spring primarily absorbs the energy of applied loads that are below a first amplitude or threshold of applied load. Once the applied loads exceed the first amplitude of applied load, the dual-spring assembly operates with an effective spring rate to absorb the energy of applied loads that exceed the first amplitude of applied load. After a second spring of the dual-spring assembly achieves a desired amount of deflection, the first spring continues to absorb energy from the applied loads.

The controller controls electrical power to the receiver so that if the sensed acceleration reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, electrical power to the data receiver is enabled. The recorded acceleration data may be used for injury analysis.
