Patent number: 7670318Abstract: A prepackaged safety needle device has fitted to a holder a double-ended needle assembly and a needle protection housing pivotally connected to the neck of the housing. The hub of the double-ended needle is mated to the neck of the holder. A circumferential sleeve extending from the neck of the holder envelops the hub so that when the needle that extends away from the holder is capped by a sheath, the lower portions of the sheath would coact with the sleeve to form a relatively tight fit. The configurations of the sleeve and the sheath with respect to the needle hub, at their respective interacting portions are such that a tortuous path is established which allows sterilizing gas to pass into the space capped by the sheath, but yet prevents bacteria or other contaminants from intruding into the space.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2001Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Smiths Medical ASD, Inc.Inventors: Daniel E. Alesi, David R. MacLean

Publication number: 20090275964Abstract: A rolling instrument for rolling the outside surface of the stomach for reducing stomach volume in bariatric surgery includes an elongated tubular body that is sufficiently flexible to allow for access to the outside surface. The tubular body includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is shaped and dimensioned for use by the medical practitioner performing the medical procedure and includes a handle for manipulation of the rolling instrument. The distal end of the tubular body includes a mechanism allowing for gripping of the stomach in a manner permitting rolling thereof. A coiled retainer shaped and dimensioned is provided for application to the rolled portion of the stomach in a manner holding the rolled portion of the stomach in its rolled configuration. The coiled retainer includes a helically coiled body having a first end and a second end, the first end is pointed such that it may puncture tissue as the coiled body is rotated during its application to the stomach.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2008Publication date: November 5, 2009Inventors: Mark S.

Patent number: 6582397Abstract: A needle safety device has a collar and a housing pivotally connected thereto. Cooperating locking members are provided at the collar and the respective lower sections of the housing so that, once the housing is pivoted to be in alignment with the collar, the locking members would coactingly mate with each other to thereby retain the housing to the collar. To ensure that the coacting locking members could not be sabotaged by the sidewalls of the housing being deliberately forced away from the collar, barriers in the form of guard flaps or arms are provided at the collar so as to prevent those sections of the sidewall that are susceptible to being forced away from the collar from being exposed. As an added benefit, the guard flaps could be used as an anchor to provide stabilization for the use of a hypodermic needle fitted with the safety needle device of the instant invention during a subcutaneous procedure to a patient.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2001Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Portex, Inc.Inventors: Daniel E.
