A container is described. The container includes a receptacle, lid, and fastener. The receptacle includes a latch. The lid is coupled to the receptacle and moves between an open and a closed position. The fastener is coupled to the lid and fastens the lid to the receptacle. The fastener includes first, second, third, and fourth portions. The first portion is coupled to the lid and extends along a first axis that is perpendicular to a plane of the lid when the lid is in the closed position. The second portion is coupled to the first portion and extends along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis. The third portion is coupled to the second portion and extends along an axis that is parallel to the first axis. The fourth portion is coupled to the third portion and includes a contact member that couples to the latch.
摘要:
In accordance with aspects of the present invention, an applicator assembly suitable for application of a catheter patch about an insertion site of a percutaneous device includes a body having a distal end, a proximal end, and laterally extending right and left side gripping members, a pull tab member attached toward the proximal end of the body, and a release tab connected to the pull tab member, wherein the release tab is positioned toward the distal end of the body so that a lower surface of the release tab abuts an upper surface of the body. The release tab may have a securing mechanism for securing a catheter patch to a lower surface of the body toward the distal end of the body. A method of applying a catheter patch about an insertion site of a percutaneous device using an applicator assembly is provided.
摘要:
A protective sheath including a first portion configured to receive a medical instrument. The protective sheath also includes a second portion configured to accommodate movement of a distal end of the medical instrument within the second portion. The second portion is moveably coupled to the first portion. The protective sheath is configured to control contamination of the medical instrument when the medical instrument and the protective sheath are placed within a patient.
摘要:
A tool kit for interchanging tools within an at least partially closed area is provided. The tool kit includes at least one tool, each tool being preferably provided within a tubular housing, and adapted to pivot out from the tool kit so that they can be attached to a receiving tool. The tool is designed to be returned to the tool kit after use, and if desired, switched with a different tool. In one embodiment, a surgical system permitting surgical tools to be interchanged within a patient's body is provided. A method of interchanging surgical tools within a patient's body is also provided.
摘要:
A double cylinder system is disclosed, comprising at least one controller adapted to transmit hydraulic control signals; at least one slave in fluid communication with the controller and configured to respond to the hydraulic control signals transmitted by the controller; and at least one control line providing hydraulic communication between the controller and the slave. Also disclosed is a surgical device, comprising at least one controller located at a proximal end of the device, the controller adapted to transmit hydraulic control signals; at least one manipulator, configured to be controlled by a human hand and to actuate the controller; at least one slave located at a distal end of the device, the slave being in fluid communication with the controller and configured to respond to the hydraulic control signals transmitted by the controller; and at least one control line providing hydraulic communication between the controller and the slave.
摘要:
A bronchoalveolar lavage instillation/aspiration system (200) which includes (i) a needleless bronchoalveolar lavage instillation/aspiration device (300) with a barrel member (306) including a barrel lumen (307) having a distal aperture (310) and a self-sealing member (312) configured for maintaining a f luid-disruptable, resealable barrier to the distal aperture (310); and (ii) a catheter asssembly (500) configured to provide a patent path of fluid communication between the instillation/aspiration device (300) and a patient bronchial passage, where the catheter (502) includes a wedging structure (512) configured to engage a patient bronchial passage. In another aspect, embodiments of the present invention may include one or more methods of making and using a system or component described herein.
摘要:
A patient interface assembly includes a housing that defines an inlet port and an outlet port. A jet pump receives pressurized gas flow from the inlet port and delivers the gas flow to the outlet port. A nebulizer is fluidly coupled to the outlet port and positioned to introduce medication into the gas flow and deliver medicated gas flow to a patient.
