Vascular plug having composite construction
InactiveUS20050267528A1Increasing effective radial dimensionReduce deliverySuture equipmentsOcculdersComposite constructionVascular plug
This invention relates to apparatus and methods for use in sealing a vascular puncture site, particularly sites of punctures that are the result of catheterization or other interventional procedures. In several of the preferred embodiments, the sealing device includes a sealing member and a tether. The sealing member generally performs the function of occupying a space in an incision, puncture, or other wound and sealing the space in the incision, puncture, or wound that it occupies, to prevent further blood flow. The tether is typically attached in some manner to the sealing member, and provides the user with the ability to withdraw the sealing member if necessary. In a particularly preferred form, the sealing device further includes a restraining member associated with the sealing member. The restraining member provides the ability to more securely restrain the sealing member to prevent it from migrating from the deployment location within a tissue tract. The restraining member may also provide an additional capability of manipulating the sealing member after deployment.

Male luer lock connector for medical fluid lines
A male luer lock connector for medical fluid lines comprising an elongated tubular body having an end portion with external luer cone and an internally threaded bushing mounted so that it can turn and slide on a portion with a cylindrical external surface of the tubular body. The axial backward travel of the bushing allows axial engagement of the male connector with a female luer lock connector even without screwing the bushing, and it is provided with a cam front reaction surface with which the bushing interacts to voluntarily produce axial expulsion of the female luer lock connector.

Pouch for collecting human waste
ActiveUS20040049837A1Simple manufacturing processFacilitate great freedom of designBagsBathroom accessoriesHuman wastePlastics extrusion
A drainable ostomy pouch has an outlet. Reinforcing members at the outlet are deformable by application of manual pressure at their ends to distend the outlet. The lateral edges of the reinforcing members may be offset, which encourages the reinforcing members to consistently bend away from each other. A peelable distributed mechanical engagement fastener secures the outlet in a folded condition. The fastener parts are hook-hook type plastic extrusions, and provide a snap-engagement. A security flap is foldable under the outlet when in its folded condition. The outlet is released in two stages.
