A device for receiving objects from a support on which the objects are arranged so as to lie side-by-side, in individual receptacles, in an axially parallel manner in rows. The device comprises a receiving zone. The device comprises a feed device for moving the support equipped with the objects through the receiving zone such that the objects arrive, in the sequence, at the receiving zone to be removed at the receiving zone, in the sequence, from the support; The device comprises a receiving wheel comprising grippers, the grippers being arranged around a periphery of the wheel and protruding outwards, wherein the receiving wheel is rotatable such that the grippers past the receiving zone one after another to receive, at the receiving zone, the objects, in sequence, from the support provided, wherein each gripper of the grippers is associated with a respective counterhold for securing a received object on the gripper.

Syringe attachments and syringes have particular suitability to the precision dispensing of small amounts of high viscosity materials, such as dermal fillers. Syringes and attachments may include precision position indicators viewed from multiple positions to enable a user to determine plunger position and the amount of dispensed contents with precision. A configuration of the attachment may be slidably secured to a syringe to permit a user to operate the syringe from a lateral position using sliding movement of the thumb and fingers of one hand, for example. This configuration may be particularly suitable for self-administered insulin injections.

Disclosed are systems and methods for automatically porting respiratory therapy settings to a new respiratory therapy device. Currently, when a patient replaces receives a replacement respiratory therapy device, the prescription settings must be manually ported. Accordingly, the inventors have developed technology to automatically, port, translate, and validate therapy settings and modes to a replacement respiratory therapy device.

An endotracheal tube has a curved tube body and an oblique cutting surface. The curved tube body has a front end, and the curved tube body has a center axis, an inner axis and an outer axis. The oblique cutting surface has a tip, and the oblique cutting surface is located at the front end and has the following characteristics: the oblique cutting surface has a circular projection surface in the vertical plane and a tip projection point on the circumference of the circular projection surface, the inner axis has an inner axis projection point on the circumference of the circular projection surface, and the tip projection point and the inner axis projection point have an angle θ, where 15°<θ<45°.

A tamper resistant catheter device preventing unauthorized access, while permitting authorized intravenous medications through an inlet port. The device comprises a catheter line retainer having a base supporting the catheter line, a lumen adaptor engaged with the catheter line, and a locking clamp for clamping the catheter line within the catheter line retainer. An installation tool is provided having a breakaway handle and a locking cap for covering the lumen adaptor. Finally, a slotted retaining sleeve is installed using the breakaway handle of the installation tool for engagement with the locking cap and around the lumen adaptor. The slotted retaining sleeve engages the locking clamp to block removal of the locking clamp from the line retainer. Once the slotted retaining sleeve and locking cap are installed, the breakaway handle is removed. A removal tool disengages the locking cap from the slotted retaining sleeve for authorized access.

An injection guide globally aligns an injector to an angle selected for consistent subcutaneous delivery of an injectate, while locally aligning a patient's skin normal to the injection path at the location where the injection pierces the skin. This arrangement advantageously maintains controlled contact between an injector and a subject's skin in order to deliver the full, intended volume of injectate into the patient's subcutaneous layer while avoiding misdelivery into adjacent layers such as the patient's dermis or muscle.

A grasping collar is featured that has a flexible main body having an exterior surface with surface cavities configured for finger reception; a hole extending within an interior region of the body along an X-axis direction and being a through-hole relative to the body; an elongated slit extending in the X-axis direction, and in a radially inward direction from an exterior surface of the body into communication with the hole, the elongated slit including a thinner slit section extending in the X-axis direction for a portion of an overall length of the body as well as a wider slit section extending in the X-axis direction for a remaining portion of the overall length of the body. Methods of utilizing and assembling the grasping collar are also featured.

Improved apparatus for use with animal medication in fluid form, which is particularly beneficial for medications having a relatively high viscosity. The disclosed syringe adapter has an opening that is relatively large, as compared to a conventional needle, and thus affixing the disclosed syringe adapter to a syringe improves syringeability of higher-viscosity medications. When the disclosed syringe adapter is affixed to a pistol-grip or tab-handled syringe, the medication withdrawn into the pistol-grip syringe can be more easily administered from the syringe barrel (noting that the syringe adapter will be replaced with a needle prior to injecting the medication).

An object of the present invention is to provide a syringe auxiliary tool capable of enhancing the safety during piercing an injection needle. The syringe auxiliary tool includes a housing that houses the syringe and has a contact surface that comes into contact with a living body, a moving part that is slidably attached to the housing in order to switch between an advanced position at which the injection needle of the syringe is located forward of the contact surface and a retracted position at which the injection needle is retracted rearward of the contact surface, a biasing means that biases the moving part rearward, and an operation member that slides the moving part forward.

Embodiments of the invention provide devices, systems, and methods that precisely identify a minimum of one predetermined spot which is hidden under a skin. The system comprises a locator device and corresponding implanted target device. The port locator device preferably comprises one magnet with north and south magnetic pole, a body and a suspending component. The body may utilize specific geometry which improves accuracy. The implanted target device may include at least one magnet and at least one target or a plurality of targets and at least one magnet. Various configurations can be provided that precisely identify a single spot or a plurality of spots which are hidden under a skin.
