Abstract: Cardiothoracic surgical devices with a dual lumen cannula (8) that cooperates with a clamping assembly (35) for facilitating a CPB. The dual lumen cannula (8) has a distal end portion (8d) configured to reside inside an aorta (A) of a patient. The distal end portion (8d) has a first lumen (9) and a second lumen (10) in fluid isolation. The first lumen (9) has a lumen orifice (13) that faces a first direction inside the aorta and the second lumen (10) comprises a lumen orifice (15) that faces a second direction that is different than the first direction inside the aorta.

Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to a bite block device to protect patients oral cavity with interchangeable open or close configuration that allows placement after the insertion of scope or airway equipment. The equipment is made of one plastic material, embodied with functional plastic design components including living hinge, snap locks and interlocks.

Abstract: Certain aspects are directed to a housing and cap to provide protection of medical devices having one or more percutaneous connection (e.g., a three-way stopcock or catheter port).

Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to accessories for the use of portable probes, tablets and smartphones during ultrasound guided procedures requiring real-time visualization and sterile precautions. The embodiments include sterile procedural kits allow the placement of tablets or smartphone into sealed compartment that maintain sterility, allow for touch screen adjustments and continuous visualization.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an endotracheal intubation system that provides for differential ventilation of lungs and lung lobes. Certain aspects are directed to an assembled device having three lumens: (1) a tracheal lumen that provides for ventilation of the upper lobes of the lung, (2) a first lobular lumen that provides for ventilation of a first lower lobe of the lung, and (3) a second lobular lumen that provides for ventilation of a second lower lobe of the lung.

Abstract: Certain aspects are directed to a housing and cap to provide protection of medical devices having one or more percutaneous connection (e.g., a three-way stopcock or catheter port).

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an ultrasound attachment that flexible interacts with an ultrasound probe and provides for securing the attachment to the probe.

Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to an ultrasound standoff device having a mounted chamber providing for ultrasound guidance for placing intervention devices, as well as methods for using the device.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an endotracheal intubation system that provides for differential ventilation of lungs and lung lobes.

Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to an image-based optical tracking and navigation system. The system being useful during surgical procedures or cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The navigation system combining external optical tracking of instrument handles or shafts and positional endoscope tracking techniques with images of the patient's internal structures. The imaging instrument can be one of the following: an endoscope, a colonoscope or a transephageal echo probe. Magnetic probes/stylets can also be used to further determine the distal end of the imaging instrument.
