International Classification:

A61M 5/32

US Classification:

604192

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention pertain to safety needle assemblies. In one embodiment, a safety needle assembly includes a cannula, a hub on an end of the cannula, a housing that is slidable with respect to the cannula and a tether that prevents the housing from extending past the distal end of the cannula. In one embodiment, a spring washer prevents the housing from being moved in a proximal direction after the housing has covered the distal end of the needle.

Abstract:

An access port for subcutaneous implantation is disclosed. Such an access port may comprise a body for capturing a septum for repeatedly inserting a needle therethrough into a cavity defined within the body. Further, the access port may include at least one feature structured and configured for identification of the access port subsequent to subcutaneous implantation. Methods of identifying a subcutaneously implanted access port are also disclosed. For example, a subcutaneously implanted access port may be provided and at least one feature of the subcutaneously implanted access port may be perceived. Further, the subcutaneously implanted access port may be identified in response to perceiving the at least one feature. In one embodiment, an identification feature is engraved or otherwise defined by the access port, so as to be visible after implantation via x-ray imaging technology.

International Classification:

A61B 8/00

US Classification:

600461

Abstract:

A needle guide assembly for inserting a needle into the body of a patient in order to access a subcutaneous target, such as a vessel, is disclosed. In one embodiment, the needle guide assembly comprises a needle guide body that is configured to at least indirectly and removably attach to an image producing device, such as an ultrasound probe. The needle guide body defines at least first and second elongate guide channels. Each guide channel defines a unique insertion angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the ultrasound probe. Further, each guide channel is configured to accept needles of differing gauges. In other embodiments other needle guide assemblies are disclosed that include multiple guide channels for inserting a needle at a variety of insertion angles into the patient's body. Related methods are also disclosed. In yet other embodiments, needle guide assemblies including needle stop features are disclosed.

International Classification:

B01D 1508

US Classification:

55 18

Abstract:

A method for determining the concentration of chlorinated hydrocarbons in landfill gas by injecting a carrier gas and landfill gas containing chlorinated hydrocarbons through a valve and into a gas chromatographic column containing a column packing capable of separating the chlorinated hydrocarbons. The temperature of the column is appropriately controlled to bring about the elution of the chlorinated hydrocarbons so that the concentration of the chlorinated hydrocarbons can be determined. The valve is a multiple port valve which permits loading of the landfill gas into the valve and subsequent injection of the landfill gas and the carrier gas into the column.
