CATHETER INSERTION SYSTEM
A catheter inserter (100) including an actuator assembly (125) to move a catheter assembly outside a housing (101) by engaging the catheter assembly multiple times, in an example. The inserter includes a needle assembly (140) in a housing that has a first position with a needle extending from the housing and a second position with the needle retracted into the housing. A catheter assembly (180) is removably positioned in the housing and includes a catheter (181) and a hub (182) connected to the catheter. An actuator assembly (125) is further mounted to the housing and operates to selectively engage a guidewire assembly to move the guidewire past the needle and to selectively engage the catheter assembly to move the catheter and the hub outside the housing.
MANUAL RESUSCITATOR REGULATING SYSTEM
A manual resuscitator regulating system for regulating the rate and volume of ventilation during manual resuscitation. The manual resuscitator regulating system may include an intake assembly configured to permit a selected volume of gas to flow into a chamber over a predetermined amount of time and/or an outtake assembly configured to permit a selected volume of gas flow out of the chamber over a predetermined amount of time. The intake assembly and/or the outtake assembly may include one or more adjustment mechanisms configured to allow a user to selectively adjust volume. The intake assembly and the outtake assembly may be configured to coordinate with one another to deliver a selected tidal volume and/or volume of gas. The manual resuscitator regulating system may include a placement indicator configured to indicate or guide a user where to squeeze or compress the chamber.
Window Element and Drug Delivery Device
The present disclosure is directed to a window element and a drug delivery device, like a pen-type injector, that provides for administration by injection of medicinal products from a multidose cartridge. The drug delivery device may comprise a housing, a dose setting member, a dial, a drive member, a clutch and/or a clicker. The window element comprises a first member with a window and being made from a rigid material, a second member and a third member, each made from an elastically deformable material and being attached to the first member.
APPLICATION AID FOR THE TREATMENT OF WOUNDS
The invention relates to a flexible application aid for the treatment of wounds. The application aid can be used in particular for the debridement and/or cleansing of wounds, including the skin surrounding the wound. The application aid according to the invention including a flexible or elastically deformable application wand, facilitates debridement of superficial to deep wounds without the risk of injury to the wound.
PLENUM CHAMBER INSERT FOR PATIENT INTERFACE
A patient interface includes: a plenum chamber; a seal-forming structure; a positioning and stabilising structure; a plenum chamber insert configured to be positioned and retained within the plenum chamber; and a vent structure; wherein the plenum chamber insert has a plenum chamber insert port; wherein the plenum chamber insert has an exterior surface configured to be positioned adjacent to an interior surface of the plenum chamber; wherein when the plenum chamber insert is positioned and retained within the plenum chamber, a radial channel is formed by the interior surface of the plenum chamber and the exterior surface of the plenum chamber insert such that gas is able to pass between a patient-proximal side plenum chamber insert and a patient-distal side of the plenum chamber insert via the radial channel during use.
MASK VENTILATION ASSIST DEVICE
A mask ventilation assist device that is attached to a mask to aid in ventilating a patient. Generally, the device comprises an opening that fits over the universal ventilation port of a mask, a cavity that compatibly mates with the mask, and one or more grips that permit a practitioner to apply downward force to the mask via the device. The device may comprise various shapes, sizes, configurations, and features depending on the type of mask on which the device will be deployed.
HANDLE FOR A MEDICINAL PEN
According to one embodiment, a handle includes a frame and a connection surface coupled to the frame. The connection surface is configured to grasp a rotary dial of a medicinal pen. The handle further includes a cap rotatingly coupled to the frame. The cap is configured to rotate with respect to the frame.
HANDHELD MEDICAL SUBSTANCE DISPENSING SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHODS
Various handheld medical dispensing configurations and methods including the following: Handheld medical dispensing system comprises a syringe, which has a plunger, releasably mounted to syringe actuation apparatus, the apparatus having an actuator configured such that it can move the plunger more than once to dispense a plurality of amounts of substance from the syringe and having a housing adapted for singled handed administration of an injection.
Medical treatment apparatus and water reservoir for same
A water reservoir includes a water reservoir base configured to hold a volume of water to be used for humidification of pressurized breathable air, a water reservoir lid connected to the water reservoir base, and a compressible resilient portion configured to seal between the water reservoir base and the water reservoir lid. The base and the lid are movable relative to one another when connected whilst maintaining sealing therebetween due to the compressible resilient portion. A retainer is configured to secure the water reservoir to a water reservoir dock, and has a protrusion or recess to releasably engage one another when the water reservoir is received in the dock, with a reaction force to compression of the compressible resilient portion urging the protrusion and the recess into engagement with one another.
Peristaltic positive displacement pump apparatus
A pump apparatus (1) comprises a pump head (2) and a container (20) for a liquid to be dispensed. The pump head (2) has a flexible dispensing tube (4) in fluid connection with the inside of the container (20). The fluid connection between the dispensing tube (4) and the inside of the container (20) is provided by a supply tube (28) which co-operates with the dispensing tube (4) to provide a non-return valve function. An end (48) of the supply tube (28) is disposed within an end of the dispensing tube (4) and the non-return valve function is provided by a hole (46) through a side wall of the supply tube (28) in a region where the dispensing tube (4) overlaps the supply tube, whereby the dispensing tube (4) provides a seal over the hole (46) to prevent ingress of fluid when the internal pressure is lower than the external pressure. Another aspect of the invention provides a container (20) for use in the pump apparatus.
