Publication number: 20210205508Abstract: In part, the disclosure relates to an aspirator having a handle that includes a suction connector extending from a proximal end face, a substantially cylindrical sleeve mount having an outer surface and a shoulder. A tubular member defining a bore and having flared end disposed in a suction head having one or more cantilevered protuberances can extend from the sleeve mount. The substantially cylindrical sleeve mount is in relief with respect to the shoulder and extends distally therefrom. The substantially cylindrical sleeve mount defines an aperture. The suction connector bore, bore of tubular member, inner cavity of handle and suction head bore define a fluid flow path or cavity. The aspirator can include a sleeve that receives the suction head. The sleeve engages and interferes with the sleeve mount. The suction head and sleeve's inner wall have one or more engineered clearances between them to enhance assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2021Publication date: July 8, 2021Applicant: SurgiMark, Inc.Inventor: David John Yarger

Patent number: 7794421Abstract: The present invention provides a coupling device for attaching a sleeve (40) to a surgical aspirator tip (10) that allows airflow between the external environment and the interior of the sleeve (40). The coupling device includes a male member (26) attached to the tip (10) and a female member (42) formed in the proximal end of the sleeve (40). The male member (26) includes at least one longitudinal groove (100). When the male member (26) is received into the female member (42), at least one venting channel (80) is defined between at least one longitudinal groove of the male member (26) and the inner surface of the female member (42). Venting channel (80) permits airflow between the external environment and the interior of the sleeve (40).Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2005Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Surgimark, Inc.Inventor: Richard J Yarger

Patent number: 7776004Abstract: A surgical aspirator tip and sleeve combination includes a hollow aspirator tip adapted to be placed into communication with a suction source, a grip portion, a coupling portion extending distally from the grip portion, and a neck portion extending distally from the coupling portion. The surgical aspirator sleeve is receivable on the tip to define an internal channel between the sleeve and the neck portion. The internal channel is in fluid communication with the interior of the tip. A plurality of spaced orifices on the sleeve provide communication between the external environment and the internal channel. At least one longitudinal groove is formed at least partially within the grip portion and the coupling portion. The longitudinal groove defines a venting channel in communication with the internal channel and the external environment. The longitudinal groove is adapted to be at least partially covered to adjust the suction within the internal channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2007Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Surgimark, Inc.Inventor: Richard J.

Publication number: 20060259014Abstract: A sleeve and aspirator tip combination includes a surgical aspirator tip (103) couplable to a surgical aspirator sleeve (40). The surgical aspirator sleeve (40) includes spaced orifices (62) that provide communication between the external environment and the internal channel of the sleeve (40). The aspirator tip (13) includes at least one longitudinal exterior groove (74). At least one venting channel (80) is formed between the at least one longitudinal exterior groove (74) and the interior of the aspirator sleeve (40), allowing airflow between the external environment and the interior of the sleeve (40). Locking means secure the sleeve (40) to the aspirator tip (130) and prevent longitudinal and rotational movement of the sleeve (40). Alignment means guide the sleeve (40) onto the tip (130) to properly mate the sleeve (40) and aspirator tip (103), thereby ensuring formation of at least one venting channel (80) therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2006Publication date: November 16, 2006Applicant: SurgiMark, Inc.Inventor: Richard Yarger
