Filed:

Jun 2, 2003

Appl. No.:

29/182858

Inventors:

Howard Root - Excelsior MN
Nancy Arnold - Andover MN

Assignee:

Vascular Solutions, Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

0903

US Classification:

D 9415, D9425

US Patent:

RE39896, Oct 23, 2007

Filed:

Dec 23, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/716246

Inventors:

Nancy L. Arnold - Andover MN, US
Jeffrey M. Stein - Waconia MN, US

Assignee:

GPT Glendale, Inc. - Smithfield RI

International Classification:

A61F 13/00

US Classification:

602 54, 128858, 604294, 604307, 602 74

Abstract:

A disposable eye patch includes a first sheet member, a second sheet member smaller than the first sheet member, and an adhesive layer applied to one side of the first sheet member. One portion of the adhesive layer bonds the first and second sheet members together, and another portion of the adhesive layer adheres to the tissue surrounding an eye when the eye patch is applied to a patient. A release layer may be provided to cover the exposed portion of the adhesive layer, and may be peeled off prior to the use of the eye patch. The release layer and a plurality of eye patches may be provided in the form of a dispenser roll assembly. In a method of manufacturing the disposable eye patch, the first and second sheet members may both be formed from a sheet material having an adhesive layer, and then the first and second sheet members may be adhered together with the adhesive layer on one of the sheet members contacting the adhesive layer on the other one of the sheet members.

International Classification:

A61B018/22

US Classification:

606015000

Abstract:

An endovenous laser fiber optic member for endovenous laser therapy of peripheral veins of the body including a flexible heat resistant tip shield covering the distal end of the laser fiber optic. The tip shield has an irregular surface to increase ultrasound reflectivity. The tip shield also improves deflectability of the distal end and acts as a heat sink and heat energy dissipater.

US Classification:

606015000

Abstract:

An endovenous laser fiber optic member for endovenous laser therapy of peripheral veins of the body including a heat resistant insulative tip shield covering the distal end of the laser fiber optic. The tip shield may have echogenic qualities to increase ultrasound reflectivity. The tip shield also improves deflectability of the distal end and acts as a thermal break.
