Abstract: A two part closed tracheal suction system comprising a first part connector for attachment to an endotracheal tube and a ventilator circuit wherein the connector includes a normally closed entrance seal directly manually accessible and preferably manually deformable to open up an access opening to the connector, and the entrance seal automatically returning to its normally closed position upon manual release of the seal.

Abstract: A key ring assembly with two ring-holding bodies each carried in a housing for rotatable movement relative to each other and to the housing and for axial movement of one body to expose for removal one ring pursuant to selective movement of the other body.

Abstract: An ankle support including a first member in the form of an envelope for enclosing a major ankle portion and which holds a relatively separate stiff brace in position with respect to the wearer's ankle such that portions of the brace are respectively generally forward and above the wearer's malleoli so as to simultaneously reduce ankle eversion and inversion.

Abstract: A device for attachment to screens including a body in turn having arms by which the device is attached to the screen and legs by which the device is stabilized in position. The body preferably includes an element such as a hook such that an ornament may be suspended from the device so that the device serves as a visual warning so that people will be aware of its presence.

Abstract: A suction control regulator for use with a medical suction catheter wherein the regulator includes a rigid molded body attached to a flexible suction catheter at its front and connectable to a source of suction at its rear. An intermediate portion is located between the front and rear portions to act as a means for regulating suction. The intermediate portion includes an outwardly extending stem with an inner passage, the stem terminating in an oval-shaped contoured flange which generally conforms in shape to the contour of the user's thumb. A resilient boot is mounted on the stem and the boot includes a flat diaphragm top suspended and free floating above the stem flange when positioned in a normally open to atmosphere non-suction applied position. The diaphragm top is depressible downward by the thumb to conform to the shape of the flange to seal off the inner passage to close the passage to atmosphere to a suction applied position.

Abstract: A key holder for detachably holding a plurality of key rings with a member movable relative to a body to selectively uncover openings to key ring zones.

Abstract: A sterile suction catheter protecting both the user and patient from cross contamination. The catheter enclosed in a protective and collapsible sleeve along with a closed capped suction control valve. The sleeve and cap preserving the sterility of the catheter assembly while protecting the user from contact with potentially infectious aspirated secretions. Both sleeve and cap readily and easily assembled on the catheter to minimize labor and to reduce cost to make the assembly inexpensive. For single procedure use and disposable after termination of the suction procedure.
