  • Interchangeable flow restricting orifice for clamshell coupler
    Patent number: 10552552
    Abstract: A system for testing fluid flow includes a first tube, a first flange disposed on an end of the first tube, a second tube, and a second flange disposed on an end of the second tube. The second flange is adjacent the first flange. A flow restricting sleeve surrounds the first flange and the second flange. The flow restricting sleeve has an inner surface and an outer surface, with a web extending from the inner surface and defining an orifice. The web extends between the first flange and the second flange. A coupler assembly surrounds the flow restricting sleeve.

  • Medical device and technique for using the same
    Patent number: 8968511
    Abstract: An inflatable balloon cuff may be adapted to seal a patient's trachea when associated with an endotracheal tube. These cuffs may include indicia that facilitate attachment of the cuff relative to the tube to reduce manufacturing variability for such characteristics as rotational and length alignment. Such indicia may include protrusions that are formed in the wall of the cuff collars or may include visual indicators, e.g., colorimetric or shape-wise indicators. Cuffs with improved attachment relative to the tube may have increased sealing performance.
