Abstract: A self adherent dermal wound window dressing includes a fabric tape layer having an adhesive skin adhering side and an opposite non-adhesive side. The fabric tape layer has an opening therein to allow viewing therethrough. A semipermeable transparent film layer closes the opening in the fabric tape layer and has an adhesive skin adhering side and an opposite non-adhesive side. The film layer non-adhesive side is adhered on the adhesive side of the fabric layer around the opening such that the fabric layer extends beyond the periphery of the transparent film layer. An absorbent fiber layer having an opening generally corresponding to the opening in the fabric tape layer, is mounted on the adhesive skin adhering side of the transparent film layer such that the openings in the absorbent fiber and fabric tape layers are in alignment and the transparent film layer extends beyond the periphery of the absorbent fiber layer.

Abstract: An umbilical cord clamp cutter includes first and second handle portions including a grasping end and a cutting end. The cutting end includes a notch having a beveled cutting edge disposed proximate the terminus of the cutting end. A connector pivotably connects the handle portions between the grasping and cutting ends whereby the notches oppose one another. Movement of the grasping ends toward one another causes the cutting end notches to slide past one another capturing an umbilical cord clamp allowing the umbilical cord clamp to be cut.

Abstract: A urine sampling device includes a urine collection vessel having an open end. A cap member seals the vessel open end. The cap member includes a vent to allow air displacement during fluid sampling. A connector element including a hollow piercing element is in fluid communication with the cap member. The urine sampling device is useable in combination with a urine drainage and collection device including a source tube having inlet and outlet ends for receiving and communicating urine. The source tube includes a pierceable connector for receiving the piercing element and is disposed between the source tube inlet and outlet ends. A fluid metering device including an inlet and an outlet is connected to the source tube outlet allowing gravitational fluid flow from the source tube into the metering device. A valve disposed between the pierceable connector and fluid metering device controls the gravitational fluid flow into the metering device.

Abstract: A compact, low-cost laminar disposable package and manufacture therefor, for use in surgical procedures. Such packages are used by medical personnel as convenient magnetic receptacles and use stations to receive medical sharps at point of use and, upon closure, the packages guard against chance loss of needles and other sharps while also guarding against injuries incidental to the disposal of surgical-medical sharps.

Abstract: An infant feeding device (10) disclosed includes a flexible elongated tube (12) including a longitudinal bore (14) therethrough for delivering liquid into the stomach of an infant. The tube (12) has an inlet (16) which is connected to a reservoir of the liquid, an intermediate portion (18), and an outlet (20) which includes a plurality of the laterally extending ports (22) so that the liquid may be delivered outwardly therethrough into the infant's stomach. A pliable plastic tip (24) including a cavity (30) having a fluid therein is affixed to the outlet (20) and protects delicate membranes and tissues of the infant as the feeding device is inserted into the nasogastric passages.
