US Classification:

604174, 604523, 604528, 604537, 604915, 60410303, 606193

Abstract:

A catheter apparatus for gaining access into the uterine cavity in order to perform minimally invasive surgery or diagnostic procedures related to a uterus and fallopian tubes, includes a single-lumen catheter; and an elongated balloon disposed distally on the single-lumen catheter for insertion into a cervical canal of the uterus. The balloon has opposing portions which occlude openings of the cervical canal when inflated. A fluid displacement sleeve is slidably disposed over the single-lumen catheter. The sleeve is moveable over the elongated balloon to inflate the portions of the balloon which are adjacent the opposite openings of the cervical canal when the balloon is inserted therein. Because there is no need for a balloon inflation lumen, the outer diameter of the catheter can be minimized and the cost of the apparatus is reduced.

International Classification:

A61M 16/00
A62B 7/00

US Classification:

12820418, 12820713

Abstract:

Continuous positive airway pressure systems are provided including an interface defining a plenum chamber therein, and a pair of nasal cannulas connected to and in fluid communication with the plenum chamber of the interface. The nasal cannulas are configured and dimensioned to deliver pressurized air from the plenum chamber to the nares of a patient, wherein each nasal cannula is capable of off axis movement and/or pivoting.

International Classification:

A61B 17/32

US Classification:

606172, 30155, 30286

Abstract:

A scalpel shield system for a scalpel that has a handle and a blade with a sharp cutting edge. The system is mountable on the scalpel and provided with a blade guard member having a pivot component engagable with a pivot component on the blade or the handle. The blade guard member is manually pivotable relative to the scalpel between a guard position for preventing injury by the sharp cutting edge and a retracted position for exposing the sharp cutting edge.

Appl. No.:

10/178452

Inventors:

Robert Landis - Mountainside NJ, US

International Classification:

A61F015/00

US Classification:

602/054000

Abstract:

In general, the invention relates to a preformed nasal septum skin barrier device having a mounting member and a stem portion which extends outwardly from the mounting member. The device also has an adhesive means, associated with at least the mounting member, for applying the device to an area adjacent an upper lip of an individual. When so applied the stem portion covers at least a portion of a nasal septum area of the individual and prevents nasal cannulae from contacting and causing an injury to the nasal septum area. More particularly, the stem portion may extend substantially perpendicularly from the mounting member. Additionally, the adhesive means for applying the device can be a skin compatible adhesive, covered by a removable protective covering, which is disposed on the mounting member and/or the stem portion.
