摘要:
An embodiment of the present invention provides a smart menstrual cup comprising: a storage unit, a side of which is open so as to receive menstrual blood in at least one inner space thereof; a measuring unit for measuring menstrual blood received in the storage unit; and a control unit for generating a signal on the basis of measurement information from the measuring unit or processing information obtained on the basis of the measurement information.
摘要:
The present invention refers to a device for blood extraction and collection from the placenta and/or the umbilical cord through a system that combines the collection of said blood falling under gravity, together with a suction system facilitating this fall. The invention allows the extraction of a larger amount of blood than is obtained by conventional gravity systems without posing a health risk to the mother, allowing a controlled suction that prevents premature detachment of the placenta.
摘要:
A device and method for the collection and testing of mammalian fluid samples. The device consists of an outer sleeve and an inner swab whereby the inner swab fits into the internal cavity of the outer sleeve and is moveable within the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve contains testing means, such as a pH test or an amine release test within its internal cavity. A fluid sample is introduced to the device by way of a sample collection opening in the outer sleeve, which is received by the inner swab within the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve containing the sample is then moved through the outer sleeve so that it comes into contact with the testing means.
摘要:
The invention is devices and methods for collecting fetal blood from the umbilical cord and placenta after the birth of a baby. Embodiments of the invention are open circuit devices and methods that allow collection of relatively large quantities of cord blood while reducing the risk of contamination to levels lower than those presently associated with closed circuit systems. Other embodiments are methods and devices for use in closed system procedures that increase the amount of blood collected and also reduce the amount of contamination in presently employed closed systems.
摘要:
Procédé et appareil d'extraction de sang foetal d'un cordon ombilical et/ou de placenta comprenant la centrifugation, l'application de pression par l'intermédiaire de rouleaux (890) et l'aspiration sous vide. Dans chaque appareil un récipient conique (630) renferme le placenta et un ballon gonflable (650) presse le placenta afin de forcer le sang à passer dans le cordon ombilical. De plus, dans un procédé de conservation du sang du cordon ombilical, un cordon ombilical sectionné comporte au moins un vaisseau sanguin tubulaire fermé à ses extrémités opposées afin de maintenir du liquide dans le vaisseau. On ajoute un anticoagulant au liquide sanguin dans le vaisseau, puis on déplace le liquide sanguin dans ledit vaisseau afin de répartir l'anticoagulant dans tout le sang.
摘要:
Coextruded plastic capillary tube and method of manufacturing a coextruded tube for collecting a volume of liquid. The tube is disposable, inexpensive to manufacture and can reliably draw blood and other aqueous based fluids into the tube by capillary action, at a fluid uptake level comparable to glass and other commercially pre-treated plastic tubes, without requiring further interior coating.

摘要:
An apparatus (1) for extracting fluids from a body tissue or organ having an aperture, including a seat (26) for positioning said tissue, and a pressure means (17, 22) for applying pressure to said tissue while leaving said tissue aperture open for the exit of said fluids. The surface (23) of the supporting surface of the tissue is shaped as a funnel or cone, so that the apex is directed downward and the base (29) delimits the supporting surface of the tissue; the apex region being constituted by a hollow cylinder (22) in order to allow the passage of the umbilical cord of a placenta or of the vessel for the drainage of fluids from the placenta or organ or tissue; the supporting surface being provided so as to avoid producing obstructions or collapse of the surface vessels of the placenta or organ or tissue, so as to avoid hindering the flow of blood or fluid.
