A percutaneous lead assembly for an active implantable device, the lead assembly comprising a sheath with a plurality of wires extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The wires being adapted to power the active implantable device; the distal end having at least one electrode fixed thereon. The electrodes being in communication with sensor electronics and wherein at least one electrode is on the outer layer of the lead assembly in which the electrode is used to detect at least one of acceleration and electrical signals of an organ.

The disclosure relates to medical tubes and methods of manufacturing medical tubes. The tube may be a composite structure made of two or more distinct components that are spirally wound to form an elongate tube. For example, one of the components may be a spirally wound elongate hollow body, and the other component may be an elongate structural component also spirally wound between turns of the spirally wound hollow body The tube need not be made from distinct components, however. For instance, an elongate hollow body formed (e.g., extruded) from a single material may be spirally wound to form an elongate tube. The elongate hollow body itself may in transverse cross-section have a thin wall portion and a relatively thicker or more rigid reinforcement portion. The tubes can be incorporated into a variety of medical circuits or may be employed for other medical uses.

We generally describe an enteral feeding adapter comprising: a tube section; a crimping fixation unit arranged on said tube section at a first section of said enteral feeding adapter for releasably connecting said enteral feeding adapter with a gastrostomy tube connector; and a screw cap freely rotatably arranged around said tube section at a second section of said enteral feeding adapter for connecting said enteral feeding adapter with a screw connector.

Occlusive implants are provided with various embodiments of active and/or passive release structures. Systems for delivering the occlusive implants as well as methods for making and delivering the implants are also provided.

A catheter adapter may include a distal end, a proximal end, a lumen extending between the distal end and the proximal end, and a side port. A central axis of a fluid path extending through the side port may be disposed at an angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the catheter adapter. The angle may be less than 45°. Additionally or alternatively to the angle being less than 45°, the catheter adapter may include a wedge and/or an insert configured to facilitate instrument delivery to the catheter assembly via the side port.

A storage and manual dispenser apparatus for dispensing a pharmaceutical liquid under atmospheric pressure. This apparatus retains the liquid in a controlled and stable environment during storage.

Photocurable (meth)acrylate compositions with low viscosity when uncured, and high flexibility and shear/tensile strength when cured, further possessing rapid tack-free fixture times, comprising mixtures of urethane acrylate resin, isobornyl acrylate, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, a photoinitiator component, and a low percentage of tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate, for example from about 9% to about 15% by weight based on the weight of the composition. Applications can include adhesive bonding of medical tubing, UV/Visible transparent plastics material medical devices or equipment, or other flexible UV/Visible transparent material substrates.
