System and components for inducing pleurodesis while minimizing likelihood of tissue damage from direct application of pleurodesisenhancing materials. A tube device is provided that is configured to elute pleurodesis-enhancing material. The device includes one or more features configured to prevent or lessen the likelihood that the pleurodesisenhancing material comes into direct and concentrated contact with patient tissue when a distal length of the device is disposed indwelling a patient.

A nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) device for use with an nCPAP system, characterized in that: a generator body (30) defines a patient side (36) and an exhaust side (38), and forms first and second fluid flow circuits each including a tube (42) defining a passageway (44a), wherein one or both of the first and second fluid flow circuits includes three or more nozzles (50a, 50b) fluidly connected to the passageway, each of the nozzles extending from an inlet end (52) to an outlet end (54) having a reduced diameter as compared to the inlet end.
摘要:
System and components for inducing pleurodesis. A tube device is provided that is generally inert in a first state. The device includes a second state that is configured to provide one or both of mechanical and chemical stimulation to induce pleurodesis. Different sheath and tube configurations are provided for the actuatable features of the device.
摘要:
In accordance with aspects of the present invention, an applicator assembly suitable for application of a catheter patch with one hand comprises an upper arm with a proximal end and a distal portion, a lower arm with a proximal end and a distal portion, and a hinge member fixedly joining the proximal ends of the upper arm and the lower arm, wherein an upper surface of the upper arm distal portion abuts a lower surface of the lower arm distal portion. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a catheter patch assembly may be secured against a lower surface of the upper arm distal portion. The distal portion of the lower arm may include a securing mechanism for securing the catheter patch assembly to the applicator assembly. A method of applying a catheter patch is provided.
