Abstract: A disposable thumb light and a method of providing direct lighting for a medical procedure on a patient using a disposable thumb light is described. The disposable thumb light includes a housing, a light source, and at least one attachment configured to couple the disposable thumb light to a thumb of a user or a glove. The housing can include at least one flexible portion. The disposable thumb light can further include a flex responsive switch that is configured to move between at least a first position and a second position when the housing moves from a first housing position to a second housing position and energize or de-energize the light source in response. In the method of providing direct lighting for medical procedure, the disposable thumb light is coupled to a thumb of a user; the light source is energized by moving the thumb of the user from a first position to a second position; and the light source is de-energized by moving the thumb of the user from the second position toward the first position.

Abstract: A disposable medical clamp light is described. The disposable medical clamp light includes a light source, a housing, and at least one attachment. The at least one attachment is configured to couple the disposable clamp light to a medical device. The at least one attachment may include an attachment clip having a first arm and a second arm extending from the housing, wherein the first arm and the second arm are configured to surround a portion of the medical device to attach the disposable clamp light to the medical device. The disposable medical clamp light may be coupled a medical device using the at least one attachment to form a lighted clamp system configured for foreign body removal from a patient. The disposable clamp light can further include a power source and a switch electrically communicating with the light source.

Abstract: A hand tool includes a head comprising a pair of opposing jaws. Each jaw includes a cutting edge. The hand tool also includes a first handle and a second handle which pivot through a first plane to move the hand tool between an open position and a closed position. In some embodiments, the hand tool also includes a lock pivotable between a locked position and an unlocked position through a second plane distinct from the first plane. In some embodiments, the hand tool also includes a basket having a first basket section removably attached to one of the pair of jaws and a second basket section removably attached to the other of the pair of jaws.

Abstract: Medical lavage devices are described. Devices include a container that can retain a lavage liquid and an outlet through which a lavage liquid carried by the container can be delivered. Devices also include a light source that is retained relative to the outlet such that the light (e.g., white light, UV light) from the light source can illuminate a liquid delivery area, i.e., an area through which liquid will pass or be delivered following exit from the container via the outlet. A device can optionally include a pump for moving liquid through the outlet and/or an attachment at the outlet, e.g., a luer lock, that can be used to attach an accessory, e.g., a delivery catheter to the device. A device can include one or more accessory components, e.g., a splash guard, a magnifying lens, a penetration depth guard, etc., to improve or modify the liquid delivery characteristics of the device.

Abstract: Measuring devices that can be incorporated with gripping tools are described. The measuring devices can be integral to a gripping tool or can be removably attachable to a gripping tool. The measuring devices can be incorporated in conjunction with a gripping tool for use in a medical application such as a clamp, a hemostat, a forceps, or the like. Devices can be utilized to determine a straight length and/or to determine the spread of the jaws a gripping tool associated with the device.

Abstract: A cutting tool is described. The cutting tool can provide increased safety in residential, commercial, and/or medical applications. The cutting tool includes a container that can catch and/or hold material that is cut by use of the tool. This can prevent the cut material from flying indiscriminately away from the cutting tool at high velocity and can also prevent the cut material from falling to the floor/ground after cutting. The cutting tool can be sterilized for medical use, such as fish hook or jewelry removal.
