Patent number: 11666425Abstract: The present invention relates to dental suction devices for capturing aerosols and managing fluid accumulations in a patient's mouth during a dental procedure. The dental suction devices comprise a housing tube having a first end connectible to a vacuum source; a funnel demountably engageable with a second end of the housing tube; a pliable tube extending throughout the housing tube and extending outward from the funnel. The first end of the pliable tube is connectible to the vacuum source and its opposite end is positionable in a patient's mouth. The second end of the pliable tube has a plurality of apertures, and one or more pairs of retaining collars adjustably spaced-apart therealong. The pliable tube may be looped around the end of a row of teeth and secured in place by a tie that is secured to the spaced-apart pair of retaining collars between two adjacent teeth.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: MAYCHER HEALTH CARE INNOVATIONS INC.Inventors: Carlos Vonderwalde, David John Maycher

Publication number: 20130296902Abstract: Provided is a method for the treatment of blood vessel occlusions, comprising the localized anchoring of a catheter during the procedure by temporarily adhering its tip to the occlusion treatment site using a vacuum. Also provided is a catheter with a vacuum anchoring tip controlled by an externally generated vacuum, a catheter with a vacuum anchoring tip controlled by a self-generated vacuum, and a catheter with a vacuum anchoring tip in which the vacuum is controlled by an electronic signal. The localized anchoring method utilizes a vacuum to secure the tip of the catheter in place while allowing a free passage for the wire or dedicated occlusion penetrating device, and thereby frees the operator from constantly monitoring the tip position and pushing the catheter to support the advancement of the wire.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2011Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: Britamed IncorporatedInventors: Carlos Vonderwalde, Amir Miller
