  • Publication number: 20240074829
    Abstract: Tissue access devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. The devices can have a sensor configured to occlude a flow path by deflecting a membrane into the flow path when the devices become dislodged from tissue. The sensor can be configured to partially or fully occlude the flow path. The sensor can have a spring. The spring can be biased to move the sensor from a sensor first configuration to a sensor second configuration when a force applied by the sensor first surface against a non-sensor surface changes from a first force to a second force less than the first force. The membrane can be deflected into the flow path when the sensor is in the sensor second configuration.

  • Publication number: 20230363980
    Abstract: A bottle holder, which is secured on a supporting surface, comprises a receiving base and a telescoping shaft inserted into the receiving base. A portion of the shaft is elastic, such that it can be flexed (bent and/or twisted) to a comfortable close position of the bottle, held by the bottled holder, to the user who will be consuming the bottle's contents, without the aid or assistance of another individual. When the user finishes drinking from the bottle and releases the bottle, the shaft springs (snaps) back to its initial, unbiased position, where the supported bottle is angled upwards in such a way that any contents left in the bottle will not spill.

  • Patent number: 5737778
    Abstract: A toilet seat lifter is provided for the manually lifting and lowering of a toilet seat without requiring the user to actually touch the toilet seat. The toilet seat lifter is not secured to the toilet seat. It is in the form of a stick-like member having a manually graspable portion at one end thereof, and an actuating section at the opposite end. The actuating section is in the form of a bifurcated fish tail. To provide for further hygienetic utilization of the toilet facility, single use disposal sheath-like members are dispensed, which may be used to both cover the handle of the toilet seat lifter and manually operable toilet flush handle.
