Patent number: 8657840Abstract: A surgical instrument including a main unit and a suction conduit. The main unit includes at least one tubular body having a distal end, a proximal end, and an inlet disposed near the distal end. The suction conduit is slidably disposed over the main unit, and is slidably movable along the main unit between a retracted position, at which the suction conduit does not cover the inlet of the main unit, and an extended position at which the suction conduit covers the inlet of the main unit and a suction inlet of the suction conduit is placed in fluid-communication with the main unit inlet. The surgical instrument can be used as a suction tool by placing the suction conduit in the extended position and applying a vacuum through the inlet of the main unit and the suction inlet.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2013Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Gyrus Ent L.L.C.Inventors: Allen Palmer, John Flynn, Sean Corrigan, Tom Matusaitis, Ed Geiselhart, Carolyn Rose, Antonio Belton

Publication number: 20120103347Abstract: A urinary incontinence device comprising a flexible but shape-retaining body portion is disclosed wherein the body portion has a longitudinal axis extending from an anterior end to a posterior end thereof. The body portion is elongated in the direction of the longitudinal axis and has a length and width sufficient to cover the vulva or retracted penis of a human female or male and to form a urine-receiving receptacle. The receptacle h a shallow urine directing portion sloping inwardly and downwardly away from the vulva or retracted penis, and a deeper, narrower central urine collection portion having a urine outlet. The receptacle is elongated in the direction of the longitudinal ax of the body portion. The device also includes an attachment flange having an anterior end and a posterior end corresponding to the anterior end and the posterior end of the body portion, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2010Publication date: May 3, 2012Applicant: HOLLISTER INCORPORATEDInventors: Amy Wheaton, Loren Bartz, Terence King, Thom Nichols, George J.

Patent number: 6406206Abstract: The present invention provides an applicator for applying and distributing a substance onto a target surface. The applicator comprises a substantially planar sheet of compressible, conformable material having opposed first and second surfaces and an interior region between said first and second surfaces. The applicator further includes at least one discrete reservoir underneath the first surface which is at least partially filled with a substance and at least one discrete aperture formed in the first surface which is in fluid communication with the reservoir. Compression of the applicator via an externally-applied force substantially normal to said first surface expresses product from the aperture and translational motion of the first surface relative to a target surface applies, and distributes said product onto the target surface. In one embodiment, an applicator provides a removable cover sheet which aids in the containment of the substance.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2000Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Richard Michael Girardot, Lisa Ann Runtz, Drew Douglas Setser, Christine Marie Putman, Gerard Bernard Meyer, Scott Craig Gilpin, Carolyn Rose Hawley, Susan Doris Read, Joshua James Davidson

Patent number: 6221063Abstract: An improved balloon catheter has a catheter body with an expandable member, such as a balloon, mounted to the exterior surface thereof. Preferably, means for preventing sticking of the expandable balloon to the exterior surface of the catheter body are provided. In one aspect, the catheter has an expandable member, preferably a balloon, positioned substantially equidistant from the proximal and distal ends of the catheter body. The retention catheter is positioned externally of the heart and partially surrounds the heart so that the balloon is positioned immediately adjacent the coronary sinus and when inflated, the balloon bears against the coronary sinus and at least one of the inferior vena cava and diaphragm thereby preventing inadvertent movement or removal of the RCSP catheter from the coronary sinus.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1999Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Jean-Aubert Barra, William Morris Booth, Carolyn Rose Bocheff, Donald R. Sandmore, Frederick A. Shorey, Ernest J. Rodriguez
