Filed:

Dec 12, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/735228

Inventors:

Jorge L. Orbay - Miami FL
James Leone - Miami FL

Assignee:

Hand Innovations, Inc. - Miami FL

International Classification:

A61B 1780

US Classification:

606 69, 606 60

Abstract:

A volar fixation system includes a T-shaped plate intended to be positioned against the volar side of the radial bone, a plurality of bone screws for securing the plate along an non-fractured portion of the radial bone, and a plurality of bone pegs which extend from the plate and into bone fragments of a Colles fracture. The plate includes including a plurality of screw holes and a plurality of threaded peg holes. The bone pegs can be articulated through a range of angles within respective peg holes and fixed at a desired angle within the range. For each peg, once the peg has been appropriately positioned within the peg hole, a set screw is threaded into the peg hole and tightened, thereby securing the peg in the selected orientation.

International Classification:

A61M 2900

US Classification:

60410302, 424 936

Abstract:

At least a portion of a catheter system ( ) is provided with fullerene material ( ) for performing or facilitating a medical procedure. In the case of a balloon catheter, the outer surface of the balloon may have a coating of fullerenes ( ), which are preferably photosensitive or activated by light. A light source ( ) can be used to illuminate or other wise activate the fullerene material. The light source ( ) may be formed by one or more optical fibers extending through the shaft of the catheter, and into the balloon. Various arrangements of the catheter system are possible, whereby the light source may selectively emit light outward through the fullerene material, and associated portions of the catheter system, which may be translucent. When activated by light, the fullerene coating may preferably generate, and give off therapeutic oxygen radicals. These oxygen radicals may affect local cell function to prevent or reduce cell proliferation.

Assignee:

Hand Innovations, Inc. - Miami FL

International Classification:

A61B 1780

US Classification:

606 69

Abstract:

A fixation system includes a plate intended to be positioned against a bone, a plurality of bone screws for securing the plate along an non-fractured portion of the bone, and a plurality of bone pegs which extend from the plate and into bone fragments of the fracture to provide a supporting framework. The pegs can be oriented at various angles relative to an axis normal to the lower surface of the plate. For each peg, once the peg has been appropriately positioned within the peg hole, a set screw is threaded into the peg hole and tightened, thereby securing the peg in the selected orientation.

Inventors:

James Ernest Leone - Pinecrest FL 33156

International Classification:

A61M 3700

US Classification:

604 82, 604 27, 604246, 604173, 604523

Abstract:

The multi-lumen intravenous extension system and method for independently conveying medicinal fluids include an extension including an elongate cylindrical body having a main lumen extending axially therein and at least one satellite lumen extending parallel with the main lumen in the extension, a coupling/connector at a proximal end of the extension, a liquid supply system connected to the proximal end connector for delivering liquid to the main lumen, at least one syringe coupled to the proximal connector for supplying a drug medication, pharmaceutical agent, or other liquid to the satellite or secondary lumen, and a connector forming a mixing chamber coupled to a distal end of the extension. The connector is adapted for connection to an intravenous or intra-vascular catheter or needle leading to an intra-vascular access site. The fluidic connection between the mixing connector and the multi-lumens of the extension substantially prevents over-pressurization of the vascular access device.
