International Classification:

A61B 1706

US Classification:

206 633, 206227, 206380

Abstract:

A suture package for multiple double armed sutures has a base panel with a multi-compartment pocket disposed at a bottom portion thereof. A needle park adhered to the base panel holds a first group of needle pairs with the associated sutures extending down into compartments of the pocket. A divider panel divides the pocket structure in half and supports a second needle park for holding a second plurality of needle pairs. The needle parks have a serrated top edge and angled slits that hold the needles such that they have a reduced lateral profile to allow the package to have a manipulable width while holding multiple sutures. Pledgets on the sutures park besides the needles in valleys of the serrated edge. In order to prevent the second panel from compressing the sutures when the package is folded, the fold lines of the base panel and the second panel are offset and the top portion of the second panel is slidably attached to the base panel by tabs and slots.

Appl. No.:

11/953126

Inventors:

Constance Elizabeth Roshdy - Bangor PA, US

International Classification:

E04B 7/00

US Classification:

52 23

Abstract:

The present invention provides a covering for a roof or other surface. The cover reflects solar radiation most notably heat, away from the roof to reduce heat buildup in the attic and in homes or other structures. The reduction of heat will in turn reduce the amount of energy required to cool the home or building structure during the hot summer months. The covering system can be comprised of one or more sections and can be white, light colored, metalized, or be painted or printed with a reflective metallic finish or a combination of finishes. The cover is placed over the roof with the white, light colored or reflective metallic surface facing the sky. The cover also contains slits so that the cover can vent winds that could put excessive stress on the cover or the roof structure. One or more covers can be used on a roof depending on the size of the roof and number of sections. The cover may also be cut or sections can remain uncovered to expose air and plumbing vents, attic fans, chimneys, sky lights, dormers, solar panels, and the like. The cover can be retracted or removed for the cold winter months so that the building structure or home can be warmed by the sun and aide in the reduction of energy used for heating their interiors.

International Classification:

B65D 8310

US Classification:

206363

Abstract:

A foldable package for an endoscopic loop and cannula assembly. The package has a central panel having a pair of opposed major sides and a pair of opposed minor sides. The central panel also has a top tab extending from the top, minor side for retaining a suture loop. At least one extension panel is foldably connected to the bottom minor side of the central panel. A bottom tab is foldably connected to the bottom-most extension panel for retaining the proximal end of the cannula. A suture retaining panel is foldably connected to one major side of the central panel along the upper portion of that side. The package closure panel is foldably connected to the other major side of the panel, along the upper portion of the side, substantially opposite to the suture retaining panel. The cannula can be retained by a U-shaped slot in the bottom tab for receiving and engaging the proximal end of the cannula and a U-shaped slot in the suture retaining panel having at least one tab extending from the slot. In an alternate embodiment, at least one bottom extension panel is foldably connected to the bottom of the central panel.
