  • Patent number: 8500715
    Abstract: Fluid communication to an end of a catheter is afforded through a connection hub selectively attachable thereto. The connection hub includes a catheter receiving element and a fluid coupling element that are relatively rotatable coaxially between a catheter receiving condition and a catheter capture condition of the connection hub. The catheter capture condition, a compressible sealing sleeve disposed interior of the connection hub between a pair of clamping jaws projecting from the catheter receiving element is urged into sealing engagement with the exterior of the catheter, catheter is gripped mechanically through the sealing sleeve by the clamping jaws. The exteriors of each of the catheter receiving element and the fluid coupling element are formed into planar actuation handles that facilitate relative rotation of the catheter receiving element and the fluid coupling element into coplanar alignment in the catheter capture condition of the connection hub.

  • Patent number: 8034047
    Abstract: Fluid communication to an end of a catheter is afforded through a connection hub selectively attachable thereto. The connection hub includes a catheter-receiving element and a fluid-coupling element that are relatively rotatable coaxially between one of two states by way of a determinant assembly feature. The first state is an unlocked state and the second state is a locked state. The unlocked state is for determinately receiving a catheter and the locked state is for determinately securing the catheter. A method of making a connection hub is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20080302367
    Abstract: The oradent is made of latex or polyurethane material; it is similar to a really small female panty, which covers the entire genital and anus area. It is used in the same manner as dental dams and condoms, to stop the exchange of body fluids during sexual and oral intercourse which will prevent unwanted pregnancies, HIV and STD'S. There are two version of the oradent. One for oral sex only and the other for both oral and penetration sex. Both versions have an opening (bands) on each side which the legs go through, then it must be pulled up close to the crotch area. The crotch areas have an array of flavors and sizes. The latex sheath is flexible in the vagina and anus areas for slight penetration with tongue during oral sex. The penetration and oral version has an opening in the crotch with a sack located over the opening of the vagina to be inserted with fingers or with the insertion of the penis. The opening (bands) on each sides of the oradent is designed to stay firmly in place during sexual intercourse.
