摘要:
A hot water dispensing system comprises a one-piece plastic tank having a main heating chamber, an expansion chamber, and an air collection chamber. The air collection chamber is disposed generally below the expansion chamber and alongside the main heating chamber. The main heating chamber is in fluid communication with the expansion chamber and the air collection chamber. The hot water dispensing system also includes a temperature control system having a heating element, a metal temperature sensing bracket, and a thermostat. The heating element is disposed within the plastic tank and connected to a metal temperature sensing bracket disposed outside the tank. The excellent conductive properties of a metal sheath that connects the metal temperature sensing bracket to the heating element allow the metal temperature sensing bracket to simulate changes in the temperature of water in the tank. The thermostat is mounted to the metal temperature sensing bracket and measures a temperature of the metal temperature sensing bracket and activates or deactivates a heating element in response to the measured temperature of the metal temperature sensing bracket.
摘要:
A bone biopsy needle assembly includes an elongated tubular cannula having an axially extending lumen therethrough. A guide is provided to facilitate insertion of a probe into the cannula for sample removal. The guide has a molded shape with an elongated dimension having first and second ends. A cylindrical opening extends through the length of the elongated dimension and has a diameter substantially equal to that of the interior lumen of the cannula. A flared outward enlargement of the cylindrical opening at each of the first and second ends provides for easy alignment of one of the ends with the distal end of the cannula and the other end forms a guide for insertion of a probe into the distal end of the cannula for removal of the biopsy specimen.
摘要:
A bone marrow biopsy needle assembly includes an elongated tubular cannula having an axially extending lumen therethrough, and a cannula handle attached to the proximal end of the cannula, the cannula handle extending transversely to the axis of the cannula and having a cavity aligned with and open to the proximal end of the cannula. The handle is provided with a cover connected to the cannula by means of a living hinge. A stylet having a knob affixed to its proximal end which knob is sized to fit within the cavity with the stylet slidably received within the cannula lumen. The cavity is provided with projections that engage the knob to prevent relative rotation between the stylet and the cannula. A guide is provided to facilitate insertion of a stylet into the cannula for sample removal.
