B65D 83/08

US Classification:

600490, 221 45

Abstract:

A blood pressure cuff is defined by a sleeve member, a portion of which is inflatable and made from a fluid impermeable material. An exterior port of the sleeve directly and fluidly interconnects with the interior of said inflatable portion, wherein a slotted portion is aligned with the port to receive the port when the cuff is wrapped about the limb of a patient. The slotted portion is sized to provide a range of cuff sizes wherein the cuff can be entirely made from a biodegradable or recyclable material. A plurality of cuffs can be packaged for sequential dispensing thereof.

International Classification:

A61B 5/022

US Classification:

600490

Abstract:

A blood pressure cuff is defined by a first sheet, having an opening, and a second sheet. The second sheet is attached to a bottom of the first sheet to form an interior inflatable portion between the first sheet and the second sheet, with the opening of the first sheet fluidly interconnecting the interior inflatable portion with an exterior of the cuff. The blood pressure cuff is made from a single type of material and can be recycled, biodegradable, or composted.

Inventors:

Jeffrey Perkins - Tully NY

Assignee:

Welch Allyn, Inc. - Skaneateles Falls NY

International Classification:

A61B 100

US Classification:

600124

Abstract:

A sheath or cover for a laparoscope insertion tube comprises a generally rigid cylindrical wall with a face plate disposed at its distal tip. A grip mechanism at the proximal end of the rigid cylindrical wall is twisted to grip the insertion tube when the sheath is slipped onto it. An elongated tubular drape is formed of a flexible membrane, such as polyethylene film, which is folded back and forth axially on the sheath. A distal end of the drape is attached to the grip mechanism, and a proximal end is bonded to a rigid or semi-rigid tubular oversleeve. The drape is extended proximally for surgery to cover the handle and umbilical of the laparoscope. After the surgical procedure the drape is extended distally. This uncovers the umbilical and handle as well as the grip mechanism, and covers the rigid cylindrical wall of the sheath. This also inverts the drape so that all contaminated surfaces are facing inward.

International Classification:

G02B 300
F21V 704

US Classification:

359649

Abstract:

A lamp assembly includes a condensing lens group disposed at one end for collecting and collimating a light from a light source, an exit lens group at the other end of the assembly, including at least one objective lens element for projecting an illuminated light spot at a predetermined distance, and an iris disposed between the condenser lens group and the exit lens group having a variable opening for varying the size of the illuminated light spot between a minimum and a maximum spot diameter at the predetermined distance. The invention allows the illuminated light spot to be focused for at least two separate iris positions at the predetermined distance by allowing relative movement between the objective lens element and the iris to provide enhanced edge definition and illumination uniformity.

A61B 5/022

Abstract:

An adapter includes a substantially rigid body having a distal portion, a proximal portion, a central opening formed at least in part by an inner wall of the body, and a longitudinal axis extending substantially centrally through the opening. The distal portion includes an annular ring having a top surface and a ridge disposed opposite the top surface, the ridge extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The distal. The adapter also includes a seal configured to form a substantially fluid-tight seal with a surface of a fitting removably attachable to the adapter.
