  • Publication number: 20240164789
    Abstract: Disclosed is an occluding stent. The occluding stent includes a distal flange occluding body, a proximal flange occluding body, and a connection portion. External surfaces of the distal flange occluding body and the proximal flange occluding body are both provided with a coating. An external surface of the connection portion is wholly or partially provided with a coating. A first occluding coating is provided between the distal flange occluding body and an inner cavity of the connection portion. The present application overcomes the defect that the existing occluder device for closure of an esophagobronchial fistula is harmful to surrounding tissues, makes the device retractable, enhances the safety of the device, and improves life and treatment of patients. A new safe and effective treatment method for an esophagobronchial fistula is provided.

  • Patent number: 10205195
    Abstract: Electrochemical cells having molten electrodes having an alkali metal provide receipt and delivery of power by transporting atoms of the alkali metal between electrode environments of disparate chemical potentials through an electrochemical pathway comprising a salt of the alkali metal. The chemical potential of the alkali metal is decreased when combined with one or more non-alkali metals, thus producing a voltage between an electrode comprising the molten alkali metal and the electrode comprising the combined alkali/non-alkali metals.
