US Patent:

44125364, Nov 1, 1983

Filed:

Jan 28, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/343555

Inventors:

Robert J. Kurtz - New York NY
Joseph LiCausi - Port Jefferson Station NY

Assignee:

BioResearch - Farmingdale NY

International Classification:

A61F 300

US Classification:

128 80A

Abstract:

An adjustable orthopedic foot splint is disclosed which maintains a desired angle between the feet of the user and which otherwise allows virtually full freedom of movement of the feet except for an undesired movement of one foot in front of or too close to the other foot as the user walks. The orthopedic foot splint includes a linkage having two pairs of parallelogram links. These parallelogram links are pivotable in a horizontal plane relative to each other and relative to the plate which engages the shoe. Attached between opposed links of one pair of parallelogram links is a tether. The tether prevents the one pair of links from pivoting beyond a predetermined angle.

Inventors:

Robert J. Kurtz - New York NY
Joseph LiCausi - Port Jefferson Station NY

Assignee:

BioResearch, Inc. - Farmingdale NY

International Classification:

A61M 500

US Classification:

604408

Abstract:

An autotransfusion bag is provided with semi-rigid side walls and flexible material interconnecting the side walls. The bag is provided with spreader arms which extend across the top of the bag and across the bottom of the bag engaging retainer elements mounted on the external face of the side walls. The spreader arms maintain the bag in an open position to permit the bag to be filled with blood. When the bag is filled, the spreader arms may be removed to permit the bag to collapse as the blood is being reinfused to the patient.

Filed:

Mar 30, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/501840

Inventors:

Robert J. Kurtz - New York NY

Assignee:

BioResearch, Inc. - Farmingdale NY

International Classification:

A61M 100
A61M 3100

US Classification:

604319

Abstract:

An electronic monitoring system for a drainage device is provided with a bubble detector which transmits a signal upon the passage of a bubble through a bubble chamber of a surgical drainage device. There is provided a timing device which may be preset for any desired period of time. The timing device is connected to an alarm or signalling device which is activated to indicate the absence of passage of a bubble through the bubble chamber during the preset time interval. Switching means is provided on the timing device to selectively activate the timer initially to a short time period of a relatively few minutes and later to a long time period of several hours. The short time period is activated initially when the drainage device is first connected to a patient so that an alarm will be sounded to indicate possible malfunction of the device indicated by the absence of a bubble during a relatively short time period. During the latter stages of recovery of the patient, the timer is set to a long time period so that the alarm or signal will be activated by the absence of a bubble during the long time period to indicate that the patient has healed sufficiently to permit the drainage device to be removed.
