  • Medical apparatus for the treatment and prevention of heel decubitus
    Publication number: 20010016960
    Abstract: A heel supporting medical apparatus for the treatment and prevention of decubitus or pressure ulcers. The present invention provides a medical and physical therapy apparatus adapted to elevate heels of individuals subjected to substantial bed rest. By elevating the heels, the skin of the heel will not be in constant contact with the bed mattress, and thus pressure ulcers or bedsores will be substantially avoided. Moreover, the present invention provides an apparatus by which the legs of the individual can be substantially immobilized while at the same time elevating the heel. The apparatus also provides adjustably cushioned support from several angles to increase the comfort of the individual.

  • Endoscopy control end and biopsy channel shield
    Patent number: 5782750
    Abstract: An endoscope shield provides a barrier between a biopsy port and an endoscopist. The shield has a shield portion and attachment portion. The shield portion is flat and angled away from and toward the control end of the endoscope. The shield portion is located so that it separates a biopsy channel port from a barrel located on the endoscope. The shield is angled so that it overlies the barrel of the endoscope and therefore the hand of an endoscopist when placed on the barrel. A component of the shield portion extends normal to the axis of the barrel to adequately provide a barrier between the biopsy channel port and the endoscopist's head during examination procedures. An adjustable clamp releasably attaches the shield to the endoscope.
