An integrated multi-lumen tubing includes two or more lumens. A webbing is provided between each of said two or more lumens and holding the two or more lumens together as a ribbon. A set of terminations are provided at opposing ends of each of the two or more lumens. A sheath can also be provided surrounding the two or more lumens. A system for supply of intravenous fluid and vacuum to a patient includes the aforementioned integrated multi-lumen tubing. An intravenous bag or bottle is provided that is in fluid communication with an infusion pump. The integrated multi-lumen tubing connects the infusion pump and a vacuum pump to a percutaneous access device (PAD). A method of using said integrated multi-lumen tubing to delivery simultaneously two or more inputs into a subject in need thereof is also provided.

Apparatus for use in dialyzing a patient comprising a hemodialysis catheter comprising an elongated body having a proximal and a distal end, wherein the distal end terminates in a substantially planar distal end surface; first and second lumens extending from the proximal end to the distal end, wherein the lumens terminate on the distal end surface in first and second mouths, arranged in side-by-side configuration, and further wherein the lumens are separated by a septum; and first and second longitudinal slots formed in the distal end of the elongated body and communicating with the interiors of the lumens, the slots opening on the distal end surface; wherein the slots each have a length and a width, relative to the dimensions of the lumens and the rate of blood flow to be passed through the hemodialysis catheter, so as to minimize undesirable recirculation of dialyzed blood.

The invention primarily is directed to a medical tubing adapted for insertion into a body tissue or cavity and method of manufacturing different variations of the tubing along a length of the tubing. The tubing comprises a plurality of individual, discrete, generally ring-shaped elements arranged in series and fused or bonded together forming a continuous tubular structure. The ring-shaped elements may include a combination of flexible and rigid ring-shaped elements assembled along different portions or sections of the tubular structure. In another aspect of the invention, the medical tubing may further comprise a secondary lumen and a pull wire to control the tubular structure. In another aspect of the invention, the ring-shaped elements may vary in diameter and/or composition in different portions or sections of the tubular structure.

A bioresorbable device (2901) for implantation at a treatment site in the body of a patient, for draining fluid from the treatment site or delivering fluid to the treatment site. The device has a bioresorbable resilient truss (2915, 2916) for holding two tissue surfaces spaced apart, thereby defining a channel into which fluid from the treatment site can drain or from which fluid can be delivered to the treatment site, and a port in fluid communication with the one or more channels. The port is connectable to a source of negative pressure or positive pressure.

The present invention provides improved dual lumen endobronchial tube devices. The dual lumen endobronchial tube devices feature a universal design for left or right mainstem bronchus insertion. The dual lumen endobronchial tube devices also feature enhanced balloon cuff designs to minimize dislodgement while maintaining proper airway sealing. The present invention also includes water activated lubricious coating inside the shaft to reduce friction during insertion of a bronchoscope into the airway. The present invention also provides improved double clamps that prevent the accidental clamping of both tubes of a Y-adapter.

A catheter for atraumatic delivery of fluid is disclosed. In embodiments, the catheter includes a catheter shaft with a guidewire lumen disposed within the catheter shaft and an infusion lumen at least partially defined by the catheter shaft. The infusion lumen may at least partially surround the guidewire lumen. The catheter shaft includes a plurality of pores extending through an outer surface of the catheter shaft to the infusion lumen. The plurality of pores are disposed near a distal end of the catheter shaft and are configured to radially dispense a fluid from the infusion lumen.

A dual-chamber syringe may include an end wall and a primary plunger. The primary plunger may include a primary stopper. The primary stopper may form a primary chamber with the end wall. A secondary plunger may be in mechanical association with the primary plunger. The secondary plunger may include a secondary stopper. The secondary stopper may form a secondary chamber with the primary stopper. A primary nozzle may extend from the end wall and may be in fluid communication with the primary chamber. A secondary nozzle may extend from the end wall and may be in fluid communication with the secondary chamber.

A resilient connector for a negative pressure wound therapy system. The connector includes a first lumen having an entrance dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a projection of a canister adapter to provide fluid communication of the first lumen to a first portion of reduced pressure tubing and an exit dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a first projection of a dressing adapter to provide fluid communication of the first lumen to a second portion of reduced pressure tubing. The connector further a second lumen having an entrance dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a second projection of the canister adapter to provide fluid communication of the second lumen to a first portion of secondary pressure tubing and an exit dimensioned and configured for slidably engaging a second projection of the dressing adapter to provide fluid communication of the second lumen to a second portion of the secondary pressure tubing.

A negative pressure wound therapy device that includes a first tubing connectable in flow communication with a source of negative pressure configured for application of negative pressure to a wound site, a second tubing in flow communication with the wound site, and a valve.
