Vein presentation enhancement device
Preferably, an embodiment of a vein presentation enhancement device includes at least, an interior cover supporting a first fastening member, and an exterior cover communicating with the interior cover, wherein the exterior cover provides a first securement member that interacts with the first fastening member to secure the preferred device positioned about a limb of a subject. The preferred embodiment further includes a bladder formed between the interior and exterior covers, and an air transfer assembly connected to said bladder for transfer of air into and out of said bladder, wherein said interior and exterior covers collectively provide a plurality of projections defining a blood access window.
Adjustable vascular ring and implantable kit comprising such a ring
Ring comprising: an outer belt (3) equipped with closing means (7) for closing the ring (1) around a duct (2); an inner chamber (4) that can be inflated and deflated; a flexible inflation/deflation tube (5);
wherein the lips have contact surfaces facing each other, the closing means comprising at least one perforation arranged on the contact surface of a first of the two lips and at least one protrusion protruding from the contact surface of a second of the two lips, the protrusion and the perforation being configured so that the protrusion is retained in the perforation by fitting, the fitting being selected to be released in the event of overpressure in the ring.
Abdominal aortic tourniquet
An abdominal aortic tourniquet having one-piece member for the bladder and cover portions and whose bladder has a triangular cross-sectional shape when inflated that significantly increases the amount of point pressure such that the intended artery is properly occluded. The one-piece bladder/cover design provides for a reduction in cost of materials and provides for a more compact piece as compared to prior designs. The abdominal aortic tourniquet uses a single piece of weldable and gas impermeable fabric that is configured in a novel manner to create a three-dimensional, pneumatic piston while also serving as storage/transport cover, attachment structure, and major component of the belt member.

PRESSURIZED ANATOMICAL COMPRESSOR FOR KIDNEY DEVICE
A surgical apparatus has connected strips that are configured to surround an organ, such as a kidney. The surgical apparatus at least partially mechanically occludes fluid flow into, out of or within part of the organ. Each strip is individually inflatable. Tubes deliver fluid to the strips. Each of the tubes is connected to one of the strips.

MEDICAL APPARATUS INCORPORATING A SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING REMOTE ISCHEMIC CONDITIONING
A remote ischemic conditioning system may be integrated with other medical devices or apparatus so that cycles of remote ischemic conditioning may be performed on a patient before, during and/or after performance of another medical procedure. In one embodiment, a remote ischemic conditioning system may be integrated with a surgery table. In another embodiment, a remote ischemic conditioning system may be integrated with an automated external defibrillator, or an automated external defibrillator/monitor. Integration of the remote ischemic conditioning system with the surgical table or the automated external defibrillator allows the remote ischemic conditioning system to be powered by the power source for the table or the automated external defibrillator, and/or to be controlled by a control panel disposed on the table or the automated external defibrillator. Also, data from the controller for the remote ischemic conditioning system may be received and stored in the controller for the table or the automated external defibrillator. This data may be displayed on a monitor for the table or defibrillator and/or transmittal to a hospital or heart center.
INFLATABLE RADIAL ARTERY COMPRESSION DEVICE WITH CINCHING WRISTBAND AND METHOD OF USE
Radial artery compression devices are disclosed. Some embodiments comprise an inflatable chamber and a frame. Securement straps, including securement straps comprising a free end threaded through a portion of the frame are also disclosed. Systems and methods for securing and/or positioning a securement device with one hand are also disclosed.

RADIAL COMPRESSION BAND
A radial compression band employs a substantially rigid U-like cuff that fits over a patient's arm and then snaps onto a tightening band. A movable bubble member is positioned for movement along the band separate from the attachment to the patient and is inflatable to provide pressure to an incision or the like to accomplish hemostasis.
