Abstract: An intraluminal catheter having a catheter shaft and distal member rotatable relative to at least a section of the catheter shaft. In one embodiment, the catheter has a catheter shaft, a distal member, which in a presently preferred embodiment is a balloon mounted on a distal portion of the shaft, and a tubular sealing member having an expandable portion disposed at least in part within a section of the distal member. The tubular sealing member has an expanded configuration, and an unexpanded configuration expandable into contact with the section of the distal member, so that the distal member is rotatable relative to at least a section of the catheter shaft and to the tubular sealing member when the tubular sealing member is in the unexpanded configuration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a moxa cauterizing device and a method of forming moxa sinkers for the cauterizing device which allow the treatment of palsy, cancerous cells or the like without causing burn on the skin of a patient by means of non-contacting method and allow the automatic and convenient forming of moxa sinkers. Thus, the invention proposes a moxa cauterizing device comprising a moxa cauterizing can(1); a support(2) having magnetism; a magnet(3) mounted at a location of the outer circumference of the support(2); a moxa cauterizing plate(4) provided inside the moxa cauterizing can(1) in a vertically movable manner and formed with a plurality of ventilating holes(4a); and an elevation controlling means(5) connected to a connecting rod(4b) for raising and lowering the moxa cauterizing plate(4).

Abstract: An attachment tool to facilitate the attachment of a catheter or similar elongated instrument to a guide-wire or other elongated guide member, without requiring access to either end of said wire or member. Said tool providing repeatable and reliable alignment of components to be attached, while being operated with a single hand. The tool further facilitates the attachment of a plurality of catheters or instruments to a single wire or member.

Abstract: The portable campfire includes a firebox with side walls, a bottom wall and an open top. A drip pan, with a floor that slopes downward and radially inward from a supporting ring to a discharge passage, is mounted in the firebox. A burner is mounted in the firebox above the drip pan floor. A fuel tank and fuel supply control valve are connected to the burner by a pipe. A log rack supports a plurality of artificial logs above the burner. A cooking rack is attachable to the log rack and has a plurality of cooking rack bars positioned above the artificial logs. A firebox cover is pivotally attachable to the firebox.

Abstract: A medical endoscope with sealed housing and receiving an electrically powered and/or controlled system, further comprising an installed light guide sealed against the ambience and fitted with electric/light (E/L) transducers at one end, is characterized in that a light/electricity (L/E) transducer is mounted at the other end of the light guide, one of the light guide ends being mounted inside the housing and the associated transducer being electrically connected to the electrical system.
