Methods and apparatus for accessing and stabilizing an area of the heart

A tubular suction tool for accessing an anatomic surface or anatomic space and particularly the pericardium to access pericardial space and the epicardial surface of the heart to implant cardiac leads in a minimally invasive manner are disclosed. The suction tool incorporates a suction pad concave wall defining a suction cavity, a plurality of suction ports arrayed about the concave wall, and a suction lumen, to form a bleb of tissue into the suction cavity when suction is applied. The suction cavity extends along one side of the suction pad, so that the suction pad and suction cavity can be applied tangentially against a tissue site. The suction tool can incorporate light emission and video imaging of tissue adjacent the suction pad. A working lumen terminating in a working lumen port into the suction cavity enables introduction of tools, cardiac leads, and other instruments, cells, drugs or materials into or through the tissue bleb drawn into the suction cavity.

Portion capsule

A portion capsule, which is suitable in particular for brewing coffee, has a capsule cover and a capsule base and is closed on all sides in the state in which it is supplied. It contains a particulate beverage substance which can be extracted by water. A screening device is arranged between the beverage substance and the capsule base. The screening device is spaced apart from the capsule base, in the central region of the latter, by means of an annular structure which defines an outer region and an inner region in the interspace between the screening device and capsule base. The outer region is connected to the inner region via through-openings.

Vial access transfer set

A vial access transfer set for use with a bottle containing a medicinal fluid that provides a mechanism for securely attaching an administration set to the bottle and also provides a universal spike port to which any primary IV line can be readily attached. The vial access transfer set includes a novel, vented vial access adapter to which a length of tubing can be connected, the adapter comprising a top wall, a cannula connected to the top wall and a uniquely configured, resiliently deformable slitted skirt connected to the top wall and extending therefrom. With this construction, during the interconnection of the vial access transfer set with the bottle, the rubber septum of the bottle can readily be pierced by the cannula and the resiliently deformable skirt positively snapped into place over the neck portion of the drug vial or bottle to maintain the adapter in secure connection with the bottle. The apparatus is easy to use and positively prevents the accidental separation of the length of tubing carrying the medicinal fluid from the bottle.

Pre-filled syringe or autoinjector

The invention provides a syringe for dispensing a drug (1), comprising: a rigid syringe body,—a first container (2), in contact with and enclosing the drug; and a second container (3), enclosing the first container, the second container being less gas permeable than the first container, wherein the second container partially or fully forms the rigid syringe body or is held within the rigid syringe body. The invention preserves the drug but allows the drug to be easily accessed without the need for a user to remove a gas barrier structure as a separate action in addition to the other actions needed to deliver the drug.

Dual dispensing container

ActiveUS7988034B2Easy piercingImproved configuration of the perforations or slitsLidsRigid containersCardboardEngineering
A container of the present invention is designed for shipping and holding various items. The container is formed from a blank of a material, such as corrugated material, plastic, paperboard, etc. and includes side panels extending between a top portion and a bottom portion. A tear line extends around the side panels for disengaging the top portion from the container thereby exposing all of the items extending along the side panels. An improved configuration of the perforations or slits along the tear line prevents the corners defined between the side panels from being damaged and deformed and provides for smooth tearing of the tear line from the container. A second tear section is defined in the a portion of the container by a perforation line with the tear section being separable from the top portion thereby partially exposing the items contained in the container.

Orthodontic bone screw

A self-positioning and self-starting, tapered thread, orthodontic bone screw (25) for use in intra-oral corrections that serves as a craniomaxillofacial rigid post for orthodontic appliance fixation. The tip of the bone screw incorporates a defined sharp pin-point tack tip (2) to easily pierce the soft tissue and initially penetrate into the host bone for alignment and penetration. In series with the tack tip is a self-tapping, double, tapered thread (11) which allows an orthodontist to insert the bone screw post into the host bone in a single operation without the need for opening or flapping the surrounding soft tissue. As the bone screw penetrates the bone site, the tapered threads (24) allow for easy thread pick-up into the host bone while the increasing outer diameter of the thread (26) rigidly locks into the crestal bone. Once attached and fixated in the host bone, the distal cylindrical dome shaped driver head (12) acts as the fixation post for the anchorage of orthodontic appliances. Incorporated into the cylindrical dome shaped driver head are several attachment features including cross holes (13) and a snap-on undercut groove (19) for attaching orthodontic appliances either individually or simultaneously. The dome shaped head also incorporates a spline driver feature for easy pick-up, assembly and insertion of the screw with a corresponding spline driver tool (27) that allows the screw to be driven with either a standard square or cross slot driver feature.
