A blood flow stimulator may help encourage blood flow in a limb of a patient. The blood flow stimulator may include a housing configured for sealing about the limb of the patient. The housing may include a sealable volume, and the sealable volume may receive the limb of the patient. The blood flow stimulator may include a seal, and the seal may be coupled with the housing. The seal may engage with at least a portion of the limb, for instance to segregate the sealable volume from a surrounding environment of the blood flow stimulator. The blood flow stimulator may include a conduit extending through the housing. The conduit mat help provide access to the sealable volume, for instance from the surrounding environment. In some examples, an adjustable stent is utilized to enhance blood flow within vasculature of a patient. A stent operator may change a size of the stent.

Provided is a filtering facepiece respirator. The respirator includes a mask body having an anterior side portion, a posterior side portion, a middle portion, a first side portion, a second side portion, a top side portion, a bottom side portion and outer edge portions. The respirator further includes a primary port positioned at the anterior middle portion of the mask body and a detachable primary port adapter which is positioned over and engages the primary port. The respirator may further include an oxygen port and oxygen port adapter and a luer port and luer port adapter.

A nasogastric tube connector device includes an annular connector body for detachably engaging a through hole of a respirator mask having an inner peripheral surface defining a space, and a fixed member having a first concave surface and two side surfaces cooperating with the inner peripheral surface to define an opening of the space for passing of a nasogastric tube therethrough. A first plug member is detachably inserted through the opening into the space, and includes a second concave surface cooperating with the first concave surface to define a main tube hole communicating with the space. A second plug member is detachably inserted into the main tube hole to sealingly close the opening.

A passive oxygen mask and vacuum regulation system disposed in fluid communication with a vacuum scavenging array includes a passive oxygen mask dimensioned to fit over a patient's nose and mouth and having a gas inlet port and an expired gas outlet port. A vacuum regulation assembly has a vacuum regulator which includes an expired gas discharge tube disposed in fluid communication between the passive oxygen mask and the vacuum regulation assembly, and a vacuum suction tube disposed in fluid communication between the vacuum regulation assembly and the vacuum scavenging array. The vacuum regulation assembly further comprising a vacuum attenuation port through a portion of a regulator housing, wherein the vacuum attenuation port is at least partially defined by an attenuation port diameter dimensioned to reduce a vacuum suction pressure in the expired gas discharge tube to a predetermined vacuum suction pressure.
