    摘要: A system for enhancing visibility in the epidural space is provided that improves visibility in the epidural space of a patient for more effectively conducting therapeutic surgery therein. The method includes the steps of distending a portion of the epidural space of a patient by filling the portion of the epidural space with a fluid supplied from a catheter and positioning a portion of an optical scope in the distended portion of the epidural space by inserting the optical scope through the same catheter that supplies the distending fluid to thereby provide a visual image of the epidural space.

    摘要: A catheter and methods are provided for inserting at least portions thereof into a vessel, cavity, or tissue of a human body to thereby provide manipulation of a distal portion of the catheter when positioned within a vessel, cavity, or tissue. The catheter preferably has a module which includes an elongate tube having at least one lumen extending from a distal end to a proximal end of the tube, a module interface connected to the proximal end of the tube, and a deflector connected to the tube for deflecting the distal portion of the elongate tube. A handle detachably connects to the module and is configured to be readily held in the hand of a user. The handle has a body which includes a wall positioned in and extending transversely across distal portions of the body. The wall has an outer surface thereof defining an exterior portion of the body and a first cavity formed within the body. Preferably, the body detachably and coextensively connects to the module interface through the outer surface of the wall. A controller is connected to the body and detachably connects to the deflector of the module for responsively controlling the deflector to thereby manipulate distal portions of the elongate tube. The controller and the deflector connect to define a unitary catheter manipulator extending from the first cavity, through the wall, and to the tube for manipulating a distal portion of the catheter when positioned within a vessel, cavity, or tissue.

    摘要: A medical device introduction system and method can include a medical introducer, a separate imaging device, and/or a separate working channel device, each of which may be movable independent of the other. The medical introducer can include a handle and an elongate introducer tube extending from the handle and having a plurality of lumens, and may be inserted into an interior body region of a patient. The separate imaging device may be inserted through the handle and positioned in one of lumens. The separate working channel device can include an elongate working channel tube and a position controller. The working channel tube can include at least one lumen defining a working channel. The position controller can be configured to control positioning of the working channel tube. The working channel device may be removably connected to the handle and positioned in another lumen. Associated with the medical device may be a slider and a rail that stabilizes a medical device and prevents it from turning allowing medical personnel that previously had to hold the medical device to be free to be able to perform other tasks. The medical device may also possess a bent working channel device that provides easier access to orifices or other body parts that are in an orientation that is not straight (i.e., in an orientation that does not require a bend in the working channel device). The medical device may also have sheaths associated with it that causes a bend in the working channel device that also allows easier access to orifices or other body parts that are not straight

    摘要: An antimicrobial envelope made of a soft, pliable and stretchable fabric and shaped and dimensioned to accept and snugly hold a cell phone of a range of sizes and configured to effect antimicrobial action. A flat, rectangular envelope has two overlapping layers of fabric joined at two longer sides and one shorter side and open at the remaining shorter side, and is made of a material that is stretchable to change length and width to snugly accept devices such as a cell phone and is enhanced with a metal or metal compound having antimicrobial properties. The material is sufficiently soft and pliable to avoid or reduce scratching of the device and to maintain therewith for antibacterial action even into depressions therein.
