Equipment clip for urology and methods for use
The present disclosure provides a device for holding at least one conduit. The device includes a ring having a first end and a second end. The device also includes a first clamping jaw extending from the first end of the ring. The device also includes a second clamping jaw extending from the first end of the ring. A first clamping surface of the first jaw contacts a second clamping surface of the second jaw in a first position, and the first clamping surface is spaced apart from the second clamping surface in a second position. The device transitions from the first position to the second position in response to application of an external force applied to an exterior surface of the ring between the first end and the second end. The device also includes a channel including an inlet positioned at the second end of the ring. The channel is configured to releasably receive the at least one conduit via the inlet, and the channel prevents the at least one conduit from contacting the first end of the ring.
Pump clip with tube clamp for a fluid infusion device
A pump clip and a fluid infusion device system, in which the pump clip includes a mount to be connectable to a fluid infusion device, and a base coupled to the mount. The base is pivotable relative to the mount about a first pivot axis. The pump clip includes a clip coupled to the base. The clip is pivotable relative to the base about a second pivot axis, and the clip defines at least one tube clamp to receive a tube associated with the fluid infusion device.
MEDICAL TREATMENT SYSTEM AND METHODS USING A PLURALITY OF FLUID LINES
A medical treatment system, such as a peritoneal dialysis system, may include a control and other features to enhance patient comfort and ease of use. For example, a cycler device may include a heater bag receiving section and a lid mounted to cover and uncover the heater bag receiving section, potentially enabling faster heating of a dialysate. A user interface may be moveable to be received into the receiving section and covered by the lid, if desired. The system may detect anomalous conditions, such as tilting of a housing of the system, and automatically recover without terminating a treatment. The system may include noise reduction features, such as porting pneumatic outputs to a common chamber, and others. The system may also automatically detect any one of several different solution lines connected to the system, and control operation accordingly, e.g., to mix solutions provided by two or more lines and form a needed dialysate solution. A cassette control surface may be arranged to have one or more ports that can detect a presence of a liquid, e.g., to identify if a cassette is leaking or has otherwise been compromised.
System of medical indicators having multisensory, multipurpose and multifunctional features
An indicator includes a body having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, each of which extends from the first end to the second end, and an aperture extending from the first end to the second end, the aperture being sized and shaped to receive a tube, and at least one of the first and second surfaces including a haptic signature formed thereon.
SYSTEM OF MEDICAL INDICATORS HAVING MULTISENSORY, MULTIPURPOSE AND MULTIFUNCTIONAL FEATURES
A system including a plurality of indicator tags, each of which includes a body having a first end, a second end, a first surface extending from the first end to the second end, a second surface extending from the first end to the second end, and an aperture sized and shaped to receive a corresponding intravenous tube extending from the first end to the second end intermediate the first surface and the second surface, at least one of the first and second surfaces including a haptic signature, wherein the plurality of indicator tags includes at least one tag of a first type and at least one tag of a second type, wherein the haptic signature of the at least one tag of the first type corresponds to a first medication, wherein the haptic signature of the at least one tag of the second type corresponds to a second medication.
MEDICAL CONNECTORS HAVING INTEGRATED ADHESIVE BACKING
A holder for securing a venous access device to a patient may include a flexible substrate having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer perimetal surface. An adhesive layer may overlay the lower surface of the flexible substrate. The adhesive layer may have an adhesive for adhering to skin of the patient. The holder may further include a hydrophilic matrix integrated into at least a portion of the adhesive layer, at least one solvent reservoir disposed on the upper surface of the flexible substrate, and a connector secured to the outer perimetal surface. The connector may have a first end for connection to a needle assembly and a second end for connection to an IV fluid line.
Interlocking low profile gripping device
A low profile gripping device having a locking assembly attached to a base having a table, wherein the locking assembly comprises a locking strap with pairs of fins disposed for insertion into an aperture of a buckle. The locking assembly comprises an offset anchor block having opposing sides, the locking strap attached to one side, and the buckle attached to the opposing side. The interface between the locking strap and the anchor block forms a creased groove for seating a flexible polymer tube or polymer coated cable. The creased groove is located above the table such that the seated tube or cable is substantially centered above the base. The locking strap is inserted through the aperture to secure the tube or cable in the creased groove, and the fins retain the locking strap in fixed relation to the buckle.
INTRAVENOUS LINE HOLDER
Described is an apparatus for supporting an intravenous line. The apparatus includes an intravenous line housing defining an intravenous line guide. The intravenous line guide is configured to hold the intravenous line and direct the intravenous line along a reversing path and to a substantially proximally-directed entry angle for entry into a dorsal surface of a user's hand. The apparatus further includes a glove that is secured to the intravenous line housing, where the glove is configured to hold the intravenous line housing to the user's hand.
BRANCH ADAPTER FOR INFUSION SET
The present disclosure provides a branch adapter for an infusion set having a structure in which a valve is not used. More particularly, unlike a conventional technology in which a valve is separately provided such that a branch tube is opened/closed in response to an opening/closing operation of the valve, the present disclosure relates to a branch adapter for an infusion set which provides a structure in which a block-shaped backflow prevention branch tube opening/closing, tool, which is made of an elastic/flexible material such as silicon, is disposed inside a branch tube so as to close the branch tube, while the backflow prevention branch tube opening/closing, tool has a cutting line such that the branch tube is opened when a needle or a connection tube of an infusion tube/a human body-side syringe-connecting tube is inserted through the cutting line, whereby there is no need to provide and use a valve, easiness of manufacture and assembly is improved, manufacturing costs are reduced, and sealing efficiency of the branch tube is improved.
IV organizer
An IV organizer is presented to selectively receive intravenous tubing. The IV organizer has a flat plate with tubing clamps on one face, and rails on the opposite face aligned with the tubing clamps. The tubing clamps comprise flexible fingers to receiving the IV tubing. The tubing clamps are positioned and oriented to position and orient the IV tubing in an organized manner. The IV organizer is formed of material comprising polypropylene and recycled material from previously used IV organizers.
