A peristaltic pump includes a housing and a rotor that rotates about a rotor axis. The rotor has a rotor body and a pump. The housing has a cut-out in which the rotor is accommodated and a support surface extending about the rotor axis. The support surface supports a tube segment that is introducible between the rotor and support surface. The rotor has a first element for manually actuating the rotor and a first portion for applying a manual rotation actuation force. The first element is mounted on the rotor body and is movable relative to the rotor body between a first position, in which the first portion is spaced from the rotor axis by a first length, and a second position, in which the first portion is spaced from the rotor axis by a second length, the second length being greater than the first length.

A surgical method of treating a patient is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: cutting the patient's skin and abdominal wall; dissecting an area of the patient's intestine; and dissecting a portion of the dissected intestinal area such that intestinal mesentery connected thereto is opened in such a way that supply of blood through the mesentery to the dissected intestinal area is maintained as much as possible on both sides of the dissected portion. The method further comprises the steps of dividing the patient's intestine in the dissected portion so as to create an upstream part of the intestine with a first intestinal opening and a downstream part of the intestine with a second intestinal opening with the mesentery still maintaining a tissue connection between the upstream and downstream intestine parts.

Systems and methods for pumping milk from a breast, wherein the milk is expressed from the breast under suction and milk is expulsed from the pumping mechanism to a collection container under positive pressure. In one approach, the breast pump assembly includes a breast adapter and a receptacle configured to cup the breast adapter, and the breast adapter is removable from the receptacle.

A third cassette (28) of a blood component collection kit (12) is equipped with a third cassette main body (29) in which a flow path (F) is formed together with having a filter accommodating unit (86), and a filter member (88) disposed in the filter accommodating unit (86). The flow path (F) includes a red blood cell line (f1) in which red blood cells flow, a preservation solution line (f2) in which a preservation solution flows, a confluence section (f3) in which the red blood cells and a preservation solution are made to merge together, a mixed liquid line (f4) through which a mixed liquid of the red blood cells and the preservation solution flows, and a filter chamber (f5) formed inside the filter accommodating unit (86).

A displacement unit for a medical hose pump and a medical hose pump having such a displacement unit. The displacement unit has linearly movable displacers that can be actuated by a drive device of the displacement unit transversely to a conveying direction against a hose.
