A cleaner device is adapted to clean a blood vessel sealer device. The cleaner device includes a series of brushes that can move relative to blood vessel sealer device to scrub and clean the blood vessel sealer device when coupled to the cleaner device. The brushes can be made of any material that is adapted to clean the blood vessel sealer device. The cleaner device can also be motorized to facilitate cleaning of the blood vessel sealer device.

The invention relates to a personal, reusable straw and a case comprising a holder for the straw, where the case comprises elements to flush, wash, clean, sanitize, and/or dry the straw in the holder. A pump may pump fluid from a fluid reservoir to lead fluid into and/or around the straw. A fan may blow air to the straw for drying the outside and/or inside of the straw. A heating element may dry the straw. A UV or other light source may provide light which is directed to sanitize the outer and inner surfaces of the straw. A controller in the case may control these elements. The controller may include a wireless transceiver for communication with a mobile application to enable a user to control the elements manually and/or via a program.

An interdental brush realizing reuse of parts by a simple structure includes a shaft portion including an internal passage which extends in an axial direction and of which distal end and base end are opened; and a brush on which fibers are implanted over an entire area of a core that is longer than extension length of the internal passage. The shaft portion further includes a grip portion of which a state is changed between a gripping state for gripping the brush, which has been inserted into the internal passage from an opening on a base end side and of which a part protrudes from an opening on a distal end side, to restrict the brush from moving in the axial direction, and a releasing state for releasing gripping of the brush to allow the brush to move in the axial direction.

A method of providing an insertion guidance tip at a distal end of an interdental brush, use of a first set of filaments and a second set of filaments in an interdental brush, and an interdental brush comprising a first set of filaments arranged along a first longitudinal sub-length and having a first filament diameter, and a second set of filaments arranged along a second longitudinal sub-length and having a second filament diameter, wherein the second filament diameter is smaller than the first filament diameter, wherein the second longitudinal sub-length is positioned at the distal end of the interdental brush, and wherein the second sub-length has a length along the longitudinal direction being less than 15% of a longitudinal extension of the brush portion and extending along less than three twists of a core member.

Cleaning implement apparatus for cleaning boreholes formed within various different substrates, such as, for example, concrete slabs, concrete blocks, bricks, or the like, comprises a first embodiment for use within a power-operated tool, such as for example, a roto-hammer type power tool for drilling boreholes within concrete or brick substrates, while a second embodiment of the apparatus comprises a manually-operated tool. The first embodiment comprises a bit member having a slotted drive shank (SDS) connection for mounting within the chuck mechanism of the roto-hammer type power tool. In this manner, the same roto-hammer type power tool can be used for both drilling the borehole within the substrate as well as for cleaning the borehole by exchanging the cleaning implement for the drill bit.

A gynecological cervical or vaginal sample removal instrument has, at the cranial end, a plurality of brushes that are fixed to a wire assembly extending in the axial direction. The brushes are made of at least 600 plastic filaments with a diameter between 350 μm and 900 μm and an axial line density of at least 600 filaments over a maximum axial extension of 3 cm.

Cleaning tools and associated methods for cleaning lumens of medical devices are provided. An embodiment of the cleaning tool comprises an elongated core, two scrubbers attached to the elongated core, and a wiper attached to the elongated core. The wiper is axially disposed between the two scrubbers. The cleaning tool may be used to clean the lumen prior to decontamination of the lumen.
