Publication number: 20240123123Abstract: A tubing component, and methods of forming, for a particulate material delivery assembly including a particulate delivery device to deliver a mixed particulate solution to a patient. The tubing component includes a material including a material density, and a determined thickness sufficient to shield a delivery line connector of a particulate delivery device from at least 90% of a radiation dose. The delivery line connector is configured to receive the mixed particulate solution from the particulate delivery device of the particulate material delivery assembly, and the determined thickness of the tubing component is calculated based on the material density to achieve shielding of the delivery line connector by the material of at least 90% of the radiation dose. The tubing component includes an integral wall of the delivery line connector, an outer sleeve configured to be removably disposed about the delivery line connector, or combinations thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2021Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: BARD PERIPHERAL VASCULAR, INC.Inventors: Brandon David Simmons, Christopher Dean Drobik, Amanda Kingman, Casey Tyler Hebert, Mark Nicholas Wright

Patent number: 9642953Abstract: Dressings, systems, and methods are disclosed for treating tissue with reduced pressure. A dressing for distributing reduced pressure to a tissue site includes a plurality of liquid-impermeable layers that are stacked and a plurality of spacers disposed at least partially between adjacent liquid-impermeable layers. The plurality of liquid-impermeable layers are fenestrated at least in part. The plurality of spacers and plurality of liquid-impermeable layers form a plurality of flow paths for allowing fluid flow under reduced pressure. Adjacent layers of the plurality of liquid-impermeable layers are stacked without foam between at least a majority of coextensive surfaces. Other dressings, systems, and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: KCI Licensing, Inc.Inventors: Tyler Simmons, Alexander G. Sammons

Patent number: 9272078Abstract: A reduced pressure treatment system includes a porous pad positioned at a tissue site and a canister having a collection chamber, an inlet, and an outlet. The inlet is fluidly connected to the porous pad. A reduced pressure source is fluidly connected to the outlet of the canister to such that fluid from the tissue site may be drawn into the collection chamber. A hydrophobic filter is positioned adjacent the outlet to prevent liquid from exiting the collection chamber through the outlet. A baffle is positioned within the canister to create a tortuous path between the inlet and the outlet to prevent premature blocking of the hydrophobic filter.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2014Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: KCI Licensing, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Paul Jaeb, Randall Paul Kelch, Christopher Brian Locke, James A. Luckemeyer, Terrie Lea McDaniel, Bruce Phillips, Timothy Mark Robinson, Abhay Jaswal, Kevin Higley, Tyler Simmons

Patent number: 9259356Abstract: A reduced-pressure abdominal treatment device is presented that has a plurality of liquid-impermeable layers with a foam spacer between two of the liquid-impermeable layers. The plurality of liquid-impermeable layers have a coextensive area A1. The foam spacer has a plan-view area A2. A2 is less than 80% of A1 (i.e., A2<0.8A1). The foam spacer is configured such that, under reduced pressure, a target fluid removal zone experiences reduced-pressure vectors over an angle theta (?) that is typically 360 degrees for a majority of locations in the target fluid removal zone. Applying 360 degrees of reduced pressure helps avoid blockage. The plurality of liquid-impermeable layers may be bonded for various effects. Other devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: KCI Licensing, Inc.Inventors: Tyler Simmons, Alexander G. Sammons

Patent number: 9186445Abstract: A medical canister connector is presented for connecting to a medical canister, which has a patient port and a reduced-pressure port. The medical canister connector includes a first connection member that is coupled to a patient-port-attachment member, which is for coupling to a patient port on a medical canister and has a patient-port opening with a first longitudinal axis. The medical canister connector also includes a second connection member coupled to a reduced-pressure-port-attachment member, which is for coupling to a reduced-pressure port on the medical canister and has a reduced-pressure-port opening with a second longitudinal axis. A spacing member or pressure transport member may be used to couple the first connection member to the second connection member. The spacing member or transport member flexes and twists during connection. The medical canister connector may also help organize one or more pressure-sensing conduits. Methods are also presented.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2014Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: KCI Licensing, Inc.Inventors: Alexander G. Sammons, Tyler Simmons, Kenneth Mitchel Knowles

Patent number: 9168179Abstract: A reduced-pressure system for treating a tissue site on a patient includes a distribution manifold that adheres to a tissue site to allow retention without external support. The distribution manifold includes a porous member and a tissue-fixation element. The tissue-fixation element maintains the porous member substantially adjacent to the tissue site while a sealing member is applied. In one instance, the tissue-fixation element is a soluble adhesive that partially covers either the tissue-facing side of the porous member or a tissue-facing side of a fluid-permeable substrate layer that is on the tissue-facing side of the porous member. Other systems, distributions manifolds, and methods are presented.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2012Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: KCI Licensing, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Mark Robinson, Tyler Simmons, Colin John Hall, Jeanette Losole

Patent number: 9107990Abstract: Systems, methods, and dressings for treating a linear wound, such as an incision, on a patient are presented. The systems, dressings, and methods include a sealing ring that helps form a fluid seal around the linear wound. In one instance, a sealing material is extruded around the linear wound to help form a seal. In another instance, a sealing ring is coupled to a lower portion of a dressing bolster to form a seal. Other systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2011Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: KCI Licensing, Inc.Inventors: Tyler Simmons, Colin John Hall, Timothy Mark Robinson
