Endotracheal tube to bag valve device connecting assembly
An endotracheal tube to bag valve device connecting assembly for quick access to an endotracheal tube for suctioning includes a first tube and a second tube that are coupled to a hinge so that the first tube is positioned to be swiveled relative to the second tube to align the first tube with the second tube, wherein the first tube and the second tube define a pipe. A first end of the pipe is configured to selectively couple to a patient valve of a bag valve device. A second end of the pipe is configured to selectively couple to an endotracheal tube. The pipe is configured to allow flow of gas from the bag valve device to the endotracheal tube. The first tube is positioned to be swiveled on the hinge so that the second tube is configured to insert a suction tube into the endotracheal tube to clear an airway.
MEDICAL CONNECTORS
An adapter for connecting a first connector to a second connector can include a proximal portion configured to linearly engage the first connector with a snap-fit engagement. The adapter can include a distal portion configured to rotationally engage the second connector. Rotation of the adapter relative to the second connector can advance a male luer of the first connector into substantially sealing engagement with a female luer on the second connector. The adapter can be configured to displace a collar on the first connector when coupled to the first connector. The second connector can include a proximal portion that is configured to engage the first connector, such as with a snap-fit engagement.
INFUSION DEVICE WITH RELEASABLE FLUID CONNECTOR
An infusion set system includes a base and a fluid connector removably coupleable thereto. The fluid connector includes a fluid path portion and at least one connector latch displaceably connected to the fluid path portion and displaceable to a latching position in which at least a portion of the connector latch extends into the fluid path portion, which includes a cannula extending from a top interior surface thereof, and a plurality of internal sidewalls corresponding to at least two of a plurality of flat side surfaces of at least one of a base section and a base latch, thereby facilitating connection between the base and the fluid connector in a plurality of discrete rotational connecting positions. When the fluid connector is locked to the base, the at least one connector latch engages a base latching portion of the base and restricts proximal displacement of the fluid connector.
INFUSION CANNULA
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to an infusion cannula for infusion/venting of fluids to/from the eye to control intraocular pressure. The infusion cannula includes a tubular body with a tubular inlet located at a proximal end of the tubular body and a tubular outlet located at a distal end of the tubular body. The tubular outlet is aligned with a first longitudinal axis and configured to extend through a septum of a valved cannula hub. The infusion cannula includes a retention piece extending from or coupled to the tubular body. The retention piece has an annular body surrounding the tubular body at the distal end of the tubular body and configured to be coupled to the valved cannula hub. An inner surface of the annular body has a profile configured to form a snap fit with an overhang formed along an outer surface of the valved cannula hub.
Catheter mount with suction port
A catheter mount is configured to be attached to a respiratory apparatus. The catheter mount includes a plurality of ports in fluid communication with each other. The plurality of ports include an interface port configured to connect to an interface tube, a conduit port configured to connect to a conduit tube, and at least one suction port configured to allow insertion of a suction catheter. The at least one suction port can be positioned to allow the suction catheter, when inserted, access to both the interface port and conduit port.
Smoke evacuation electrosurgical pencil with adjustable electrode and vent tube
An electrosurgical smoke evacuation pencil includes a handle housing having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the handle housing defining a first lumen therethrough. The electrosurgical pencil also includes a nozzle disposed within the first lumen and defining a second lumen, the nozzle being movable relative to and within the handle housing and extending proximally past the proximal end portion of the handle housing. The electrosurgical pencil may further include a swivel connector coupled to the distal end portion of the handle housing, the swivel connector configured to couple to a suction source. The electrosurgical pencil includes a hub assembly securedly disposed within the second lumen, the hub assembly including a conductive tube configured to couple to a source of electrosurgical energy, and an electrode slidably disposed within the conductive tube, the electrode being movable relative to and within the conductive tube.
PORTABLE OXYGEN FLOW REGULATOR
An apparatus for controlling the flow of oxygen to a patient comprises an outer housing extending between first and second ends having a passage therethrough. The housing composes a first portion extending from the first end towards the second end and a second portion extending from the second end towards the first end wherein the second portion is threadably rotatable relative to the first portion so as to longitudinally displaced relative to the first portion under rotation thereof so as to adjust at least a portion of the passage extending therethrough adjusting a flow capacity of the passage. The apparatus further comprises connectors at each of the first and second ends operable to connect to oxygen conduits to fluidically conned the oxygen conduits to the passage through the housing.
Robotically powered surgical device with manually-actuatable reversing system
A surgical tool for use with a robotic system that includes a tool drive assembly that is operatively coupled to a control unit of the robotic system that is operable by inputs from an operator and is configured to robotically-generate output motions. A drive system is configured to interface with a corresponding portion of the tool drive assembly for receiving the robotically-generated output motions and applying the output motions to a drive shaft assembly which is configured to apply control motions to a surgical end effector operably coupled thereto. A manually-actuatable control system operably interfaces with the drive shaft assembly to facilitate the selective application of manually-generated control motions to the drive shaft assembly.
A THERAPY SYSTEM FOR RESPIRATORY-RELATED DISORDERS, AND PATIENT INTERFACE AND HEADGEAR FOR USE IN SAME
The present technology relates to a patient interface for delivery of a flow of pressurised air to an entrance of a patient's airways, the patient interface comprising a mask with a seal-forming structure and one or more positioning and stabilising structures configured to provide a force to hold the mask in a therapeutically effective position on a patient's head in use. The mask and one or more of the positioning and stabilising structures includes a connection port to receive an end of the air circuit. The pressurised air is delivered from the air circuit to the seal-forming structure. In use, the patient connects the air circuit to the connection port of choice, depending on whether they prefer the patient interface to be arranged such that the end of the air circuit is superior to the patient's otobasion superior or inferior to the patient's otobasion superior.
TOOL FOR ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING CONNECTORS
A tool for engaging and disengaging connectors. The tool includes a longitudinal member and at least one aperture extending through the member. The aperture is sized and shaped to receive and retain a connector, and is configured to rotate the connector to engage and disengage the connector with a mating connector. In some of the embodiments a pair of such tools are utilized, one tool holding a first connector and a second tool holding a second connector. In these embodiments one tool may be held stationary while the other tool is rotated to engage and disengage the connectors as desired. Alternatively, both tools may be simultaneously rotated in opposite directions engage and disengage the connectors as desired.
