HEMOSTATIC SPRAY
Proposed is a hemostatic sprayer for stopping a flow of blood from a bleeding portion of the human body, the hemostatic sprayer including a powder casing inside which an accommodation space is formed and which includes inlet and outlet ports, hemostatic in the form of powders being pre-stored in the accommodation space, and the inlet and outlet ports connecting thereto, and a receptacle inside which gas is compressed and pre-stored and which has a supply port on one side, the supply port separably connecting to the inlet port, wherein the supply port is open as a result of pressing by the powder casing, wherein, through the open supply port, the gas is supplied with a preset pressure toward the inlet port and flows into the accommodation space through the inlet port, and wherein the gas flowing is discharged together with the hemostatic through the outlet port while scattering the hemostatic.
METHODS FOR TREATING RHINITIS AND CONJUNCTIVITIS
Apparatus, methods, and kits for treating symptoms associated with common ailments, such as headaches, rhinitis, asthma, epilepsy, nervous disorders and the like, are provided. The apparatus comprises dispensers for carbon dioxide other therapeutic gases. The methods comprise delivering small volumes of these gases to patients in a manner where the gas infuses into a body region in order to bathe the mucous membranes therein. It has been found that even very short exposure of patients to small volumes and high concentrations of such gases can provide significant relief from symptoms.
LAVAGE FLUID DELIVERY DEVICE AND SYSTEMS
A system for applying a lavage fluid to a surface, the system having a body configured to house a lavage fluid and at least two interchangeable application members configured to be in fluid communication with the body, wherein the at least two interchangeable application members includes a first application member and a second application member, the first application member being configured to dispense the lavage fluid with a first fluid flow force and/or first fluid flow pattern, and the second application member being configured to dispense the lavage fluid with a second fluid flow force and/or second fluid flow pattern that is different from the first fluid flow force and/or fluid flow pattern, respectively.
LAVAGE FLUID DELIVERY DEVICE AND SYSTEMS
A system for applying a lavage fluid to a surface, the system having a body configured to house a lavage fluid and an application member in fluid communication with the body, wherein the application member has at least one nozzle, wherein the system is configured to dispense the lavage fluid with a first fluid flow force and a first fluid flow pattern, and wherein the nozzle is configured to selectably dispense the lavage fluid with a second fluid flow force and/or a second fluid flow pattern, wherein the second fluid flow force that is different from the first fluid flow force and the second fluid flow pattern is different from the first fluid flow pattern.
Device for the Prevention of Overdose by Opiate and Depressant Users
An automated wearable device measure physiological signals, and when parameters which cause the wearer to be at risk are measured, the device delivers an antidote for a given medical condition. This prevents overdose or medical conditions from occuring.
Medical spraying device with nozzle, and method for producing a spray cone
A medical spraying device and method, for irrigating a wound, having a liquid reservoir for a medical irrigation liquid or a connection for such a liquid reservoir and an arrangement for applying pressure to the medical irrigation liquid, such that the irrigation liquid is pushable through a nozzle by the pressure acting on the irrigation liquid in order to produce a spray cone. The nozzle has a plurality of openings, which are arranged at an angle to one another in such a way that the irrigation liquid jets exiting from the openings, at a such flow rate and angle, meet in an atomization space and/or a discharge opening of the nozzle; thus, a spray cone is produced from the atomized irrigation liquid.
Handheld therapeutic gas delivery
A nozzle apparatus for dispensing an adjustable combination of gas, having a nozzle outlet adjustably combined with a delivery component. The nozzle outlet may have a groove for receiving a roll pin; and an inner lumen comprising a cylindrical shaft having a diameter between 5/1000ths and 20/1000ths of an inch. The delivery component configured to receive air from the nozzle outlet, may have a first circular ambient air hole having a diameter, and a second circular ambient air hole having the same diameter as the first ambient air hole, and a removable plugging device covering the second circular ambient air hole. The delivery component may be adjustable in orientation with respect to the nozzle outlet, and may be adjustable to vary a concentration of therapeutic gas delivered to a patient.
System comprising a simulated cigarette device and a refill unit
A simulated smoking device (1) comprising a simulated cigarette having a substantially cylindrical cigarette-like shape and a refill device (2, 50) having a substantially cuboid housing with a cigarette pack-like shape containing refill gas (32, 59) for the simulated cigarette and having means for selectively retaining the simulated cigarette. The simulated cigarette may be retained wholly within the housing. It may be retained at a location different from the refill location. A dose counter may be provided to give a visual indication of the doses in the refill device.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DELIVERING A SUBSTANCE TO A BODY CAVITY
Methods and devices are provided for delivering one or more substances within at least one body cavity. Such devices include at least one nosepiece having at least one capsule including a volume V.sub.sub of the substances; at least one base in communication with the nosepiece, the base having at least one chamber configured to confine pressurized fluid at volume V.sub.PF and pressure P.sub.PF, and at least one hollow puncturing member having at least one sharp end and a second end in fluid communication with the base. The first and second ends are fluidly interconnected by at least one hollow tube. A fluid inlet port of the capsule is configured in terms of size and shape to interface in a sealable manner with at least one end of the at least one puncturing member.
DOSE DELIVERY DEVICE FOR INHALATION
Methods and devices for delivering a dose, such as a medicament, for inhalation. A dose may be stored by a delivery device and dispersed and delivered in a metered fashion to a subject, such as by the subject inhaling via a mouthpiece of the delivery device. One or more chambers of the device may have a toroidal shape and may be arranged to be selectively opened for fluid communication with a flow path of the delivery device, such as by sliding the chamber relative to a portion of the flow path. The flow path may include a restriction that permits air to bypass the chamber, and/or the chamber may be arranged so that fluid entering the chamber interacts with fluid exiting the chamber so as to enhance dispersion of the dose.
