Abstract: An exercise device for the feet and legs, where the device has foot plates for exercising a supine person's feet; calf squeezers for compressing the calf muscles when the feet are exercised; and a support structure holding the foot plates in a vertical position and the calf squeezers in a horizontal position.Persons in a supine position exert a rocking movement of the foot plates and this rocking movement makes the calf muscles squeeze against the calf squeezer. This squeezing pumps blood out of the deep veins of the calf and prevents stasis of blood and clot formation in the deep veins of the calf.

Abstract: A pair of foot attachments for performing leg exercises so as to facilitate efficient pumping action of blood from deep leg veins. Each foot attachment incorporates a high sock with a flexible foot panel connected by springs to a more rigid panel. The present invention permits its utilization by a patient in either a sitting position, as when the patient is sitting in a chair or on the side of a bed, or in a supine position, where the patients' calves can be positioned against a panel from which is hinged a second panel that provides a surface against which the rigid panels of the foot attachments are placed.

Abstract: An article to be used as an aid in the treatment of epistaxis consisting of a fluid absorbing portion which is pear shaped in cross-section for insertion into a part of the nasal cavity with a semi-rigid handle portion having along one end section a multi-spoked support structure about which the fluid absorbing portion is mounted and maintained in the pear shaped cross section. When inserted into the nasal cavity the pear shaped cross section of the fluid absorbing portion, as maintained by the support structure, provides both essentially uniform pressure for constricting blood flow and localities for aggregation of fibrin to promote blood clotting.

Abstract: An inflatable intrauterine device to control uterine bleeding, which can also be adapted to permit drainage or aspiration of accumulated blood or mucosal debris from the uterine cavity, is provided.

Abstract: A syringe article, for analgesic puncture with twin needles, the syringe containing a thin walled plastic reservoir filled with local anesthetic mounted under a collapsible roof and located at the distal end of the syringe barrel adjacent the twin needles, so that depression of the syringe plunger compresses sharp projections against the reservoir which is then ruptured to release the local anesthetic for injection into the flesh which will be punctured, the local anesthetic being passed through pores in the wall of an outer positioned needle into the patient's flesh.

Abstract: A tamper-resistant double walled container with an access system requiring the removal of a portion of the outer wall, the removal of tamper indicating material, such as cotton, the opening of a shutter, and the removal of a portion of the inner wall.
