  • Publication number: 20130018319
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fixing device (11) for fixing a tubular catheter (1) which is equipped with a plate-shaped fixing device body (21) and a fixed member (41). The plate-shaped fixing device body (21) possesses retaining parts (22) and a pair of wing pieces (23) that form a catheter retention slot (25). The fixed member (41) can be fitted onto the fixing device body (21) by being slid along the planar direction of the fixing device body (21). When the fixed member (41) is fitted, the retaining parts (22) are compressed by the fixed member (41), thus narrowing the catheter retention slot (25).

  • Patent number: 8132470
    Abstract: A fluid flow detector includes a detector main body defining a fluid flow channel having a fluid flow detection channel positioned adjacent an upstream hole and a discharge channel positioned adjacent a downstream hole. A mobile body is positioned within the fluid flow channel and dimensioned to be movable along the fluid flow channel. The diameter of the fluid flow detection channel is smaller than the diameter of the discharge channel, and the maximum diameter of the outer peripheral edge part of the face of the fluid flow channel orthogonal to the direction of movement of the mobile body is slightly smaller than the diameter of the fluid flow detection channel. The upstream hole and the downstream hole are formed with a size and shape such that fluid can flow through the upstream and downstream holes without being obstructed by the mobile body.
