The present invention is a fistula sleeve for covering and protecting a fistula on the inside of an arm. The sleeve grips the wrist and adjustably and snuggly fits around the wider contours of the arm without imparting pressure on the fistula. The sleeve partially opens to expose the fistula for dialysis and daily care. A narrower wrist region secures around the wrist. An elongated forearm region wraps around the forearm, and a smooth central region covers the fistula. The wrist and forearm regions are independently secured. Securement strips have semi-rigid backings that stiffen the side portions of the sleeve help secure and remove the sleeve with one hand, and form a spine to help maintain the alignment of the sleeve on the arm. A double layer of material is stitched together along its perimeter, while the inner layer is free to slide relative to the outer layer in the smooth central area that engages the fistula. The sleeve stretches laterally to grip and secure around the wrist, while allowing the forearm portion to snuggly fit around the contours of the forearm and accommodate the fistula in a non-pressure generating manner.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of killing cells in vitro or in vivo. In particular examples, the method includes contacting a cell having a cell surface protein with a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody-IR700 molecule, wherein the antibody specifically binds to the cell surface protein. In particular examples the antibody recognizes a tumor-specific antigen on the surface of a tumor cell. The cell is subsequently irradiated, such as at a wavelength of 660 to 740 nm at a dose of at least 1 J cm.sup.−2, thereby killing the cell. Also provided are wearable devices that include an article of clothing, jewelry, or covering; and an NIR LED incorporated into the article, which can be used with the disclosed methods.

Embodiments generally relate to personal protective equipment (PPE) (such as gloves, shoes/boots, hoods, protective clothing, etc.) for industrial applications. More specifically, the invention relates to using magnetic particles (e.g. incorporated within or attached/affixed to the PPE) so that a magnetic scan may be run to determine a change (e.g. decrease) in initial magnetic field signature (MFS) for the PPE). The change in MFS is used to determine end of service life of the PPE (such that the protective equipment should be retired or repaired).

An outdoor activity suit includes a body having a front portion, a back portion, opposed sides where the front portion connects to the back portion, a neck receiving portion, an arms receiving portion and a legs receiving portion. The front portion, the neck receiving portion and the legs receiving portion of the body form a first component of the body. The back portion and the arms receiving portion form a second component of the body. An endless loop zipper connects the first component and the second component such that the second component is selectively removable from the first component.

A garment is provided for selective attachment of support straps. The straps may be integrated into the garment or may separate therefrom. The straps may be used for support of the wearer. The straps may be used to customize and/or fit the garment to the wearer.

Disclosed herein are protective garments and methods for using the same. In one aspect, the garment includes a garment body configured to be worn on a portion of a wearer's body, the garment body comprising at least one protective segment configured to block a predetermined level of radiation. Also disclosed herein are method of making the disclosed garments and methods for using the disclosed garments.

A left knee pad with a locking work piece having a knee pad body for the support of a protective surface having a locking workpiece with a first pair of opposing channels attached to the left side of the body, comprising a first channel and a second channel, and an attachment tab region coupled to the right side of the knee pad body. A tab having an eyelet. An elastomeric tube first portion passing thru the eyelet, the first portion is folded back around the eyelet clamped to a first portion of the cord. The tube is passed around the leg of the wearer, drawn into tension by the wearer. The tension portion of the cord is then compressed and passed into the first channel and then drawn into tension and compressed and passed into the second channel to lock the tube and knee pad to the wearer.

An emergency quick deploy full body bee suit has a full body suit with a torso portion, a pair of leg portions, and an ingress opening, in addition to a skirt, a weight, a suit fastening mechanism, and a skirt fastening mechanism. The ingress opening traverses into the full body suit through the lower end of the torso portion and the pair of leg portions. The skirt is removably attached external to the full body suit around the ingress opening, and has a weight connected around a lower skirt opening. A user may enter the suit through the ingress opening and the lower skirt opening, close the lower skirt opening with the skirt fastening mechanism, fully enter the full body suit, close the ingress opening with the suit fastening mechanism, remove the skirt, and is then free to move away from danger posed by any stinging insects.

A compact, clean, and convenient personal protective gown is disclosed which protect a user from unhygienic environments. The disclosed gown is designed to protect users while using the lavatory or in other similar situations where the user may have to sit for a period of time. The gown may protect users in other environments where the seating may be less sanitary. For example, while sitting in a theater, office, an airplane or other method of public transit. The gown also protects the user while assisting others in contaminated spaces such as when helping a child or elderly individual to use the restroom. The gown includes features that improve its ability to protect users in addition to acting as a protective barrier.

Disclosed herein are novel personal pop-up pods designed for a single user. The personal pop-up pods can provide a user with privacy and/or protection from the surrounding elements. The personal pop-up pods are designed such that a user can remain mobile, i.e., able to move from one location to another while using a personal pop-up pod. The personal pop-up pods are designed such that a user can selectively gain access to the area surrounding the pop-up pod by opening windows and other points of access.
