Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices and methods for providing embolic protection in a patient's vascular system. In particular, the devices detailed herein are supported by a flexible scaffold that is coupled to a filter. When deployed into the peripheral or coronary vasculature of a patient, the embolic protection devices of the present disclosure collect and remove embolic debris as a prophylactic measure to lessen the risk of embolic associated complications.

Abstract: A vascular access system comprising a sheath, a slitted sleeve, and a sealing portion of the slitted sleeve. The slitted sleeve comprises a tubular sleeve body having a longitudinal slit along its length, wherein the slitted sleeve is adapted to receive a first portion of a medical device therein. The longitudinal slit closes, but does not seal, after the first portion of the medical device is inserted therein. The sealing portion of the slitted sleeve is configured to fill a gap and form a seal between an inner surface of the sheath and a portion of the first portion of the medical device disposed in the sheath when the sheath is inserted in the blood vessel and the slitted sleeve is inserted into the sheath lumen. A vascular access device accessory and a method for inserting it into a sheath are also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to an access device that includes a cannula with a joint lumen therethrough, and a hub coupled to a proximal end of the cannula. The hub includes at least two arms. The first arm may have a first lumen and a first hemostatic valve, the first lumen operably connected to the joint lumen, where the first lumen and the first hemostatic valve are configured for passage of a medical device, and the second arm may be coupled to the first arm and have a second lumen, the second lumen operable connected to the joint lumen, the second arm configured to be operably coupled to an external medical device, such as an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) device.

Abstract: A system for insertion into a vasculature of a patient is disclosed. The system utilizes a primary tubular sheath body coupled to a distal portion of an intermediate tubular sheath body, and a hub coupled to a proximal portion of the intermediate tubular sheath. The hub may be couplable to a dilator via an interaction between a dilator cap and the hub, and the hub may contain a hemostatic valve with a foam member having one or more visibly identifiably regions.

Abstract: The shallow water volleyball net anchoring system may be inserted into the ground to hold a pole for a volleyball net. The shallow water volleyball net anchoring system will generally be used in pairs of two to hold each end of a volleyball net. The anchoring system incorporates a sliding hammer that eases the task of driving the anchoring system thru the shallow water into the ground. The same sliding hammer may also be used to remove the anchoring system from the ground. With the anchoring system in the ground, a pole of a volleyball net may be placed in a central hole on the top of the anchor system and the anchoring system will hold the pole erect and stable.
