Publication number: 20240081863Abstract: A manual intraosseous (IO) device for introducing a bone portal to a predetermined depth relative to a surface of a target bone, and methods for using same. The device is manually actuated and configured to limit the depth of penetration of a bone portal into a bone cortex independently of an applied driving force and independently of subcutaneous tissue thickness surrounding the bone cortex, while providing terminal feedback that the bone portal has been penetrated to the predetermined depth. The device has transfusion facilitating components that remain fixed at the penetration site following penetration of the bone portal to the predetermined depth and releasable components that are separated from the transfusion facilitating components prior to a transfusion operation. The device may also include a stabilizer, or base, that allows a health practitioner to easily locate the insertion site and allows low profile fixation of the IO transfusion component (IO catheter).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: WaisMed LTD.Inventors: Einat Swisa, Ravit Levy, Naty Moskovich

Patent number: 11234733Abstract: A cannula for use in a terminable intraosseous device comprises a cannula body, and a penetrator-independent proximal bone penetration indicator (PBPI) associated with the body for positively indicating initial penetration into the proximal bone. In various embodiments, the PBPI comprises a roughened surface provided at a distal end of the cannula body to assist in increasing an amplitude of vibrations that are generated immediately upon contact with a proximal bone cortex during performance of an intraosseous injection, a resilient element fixed at one end which becomes plastically deformed, a visually indicative element which is exposed when the distance between the cannula body and penetrator is changed, or a frictionally engageable element. In some embodiments, a stopper prevents additional penetration into the proximal bone, and a reinforcing member inserted within a cannula body lumen reinforces a thin-walled portion of the cannula body.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: WAISMED LTD.Inventors: Moshe Ben Mocha, Einat Swisa

Patent number: 10398447Abstract: A tourniquet includes an elongate strip and a tube holding member. The elongate strip includes at least one fastening element attached to the elongate strip. The elongate strip is configured for detachable attachment to the at least one fastening element for providing a tourniquet function and/or a catheter securing function. The tube holding member includes at least one cylindrically shaped wall defining a bore for securing a catheter to a limb.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2015Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: WAISMED LTD.Inventors: Emanuel Keinan, Moshe Ben Mocha

Patent number: 7135031Abstract: A single shot trocar-needle insertion instrument is configured for repeated use. The repeated use trocar-needle insertion gun (RUTI) operates in association with a loading tool, which for reloading, is coupled with the RUTI via a loading opening. The loading tool reloads the RUTI without requiring disassembly of the shooting mechanism. The loading opening is provided either ready open, or closed but openable in situ, where the insertion of the trocar-needle is administered. It is possible to implement a RUTI by entering a loading opening in an existing single shot trocar-needle insertion instrument (SSTI). After reloading the RUTI by help of the loading tool, a catch is operated, and, after mounting a trocar-needle and a front portion, the RUTI is returned to operative condition.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2004Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Waismed Ltd.Inventor: Michael Flint
