Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an integrated connector for securing an interchangeable jet module within a spa. The integrated connector may include a first portion defining a hole for receiving a water connector disposed at a bottom of the interchangeable jet module, the first portion forming a bulkhead fitting. A second portion may extend vertically from the first portion, the second portion having an engagement feature for engaging the interchangeable jet module. The integrated connector may be disposed in a hollow of the spa, where the interchangeable jet module is secured within the hollow through the integrated connector.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to interchangeable jet modules having improved air and water flow. An interchangeable jet module may include at least one jet, a manifold with a mounting surface for mounting a base portion of the at least one jet, and a jet plate with a mounting surface for mounting a top portion of the at least one jet. The module may also include a first array of air and water chambers underlying the manifold mounting surface, a second array of air and water chambers underlying the manifold mounting surface and in fluid communication with the first array of air and water chambers through a valve, and a third array of air and water chambers underlying the manifold mounting surface and in fluid communication with the first array of air and water chambers and the second array of air and water chambers through a second valve.

Abstract: Methods, devices, apparatus, assemblies, and kits for performing a vascular anastomosis are disclosed. A device for a vascular anastomosis includes tissue engaging portions that can move between at least two configurations. In some embodiments, the tissue engaging portions move without the aid of moving parts, while in other embodiments the tissue engaging portions extend from one or more movable wings. The tissue engaging portions may be separated by a first distance when in a pre-deployment configuration and by a second distance when in a deployed configuration. A method includes engaging a plurality of tissue engaging members of a coupling device against first end tissue. After selectively engaging the tissue engaging members and first end tissue, the first end tissue is stretched by at least moving the tissue engaging members. The stretched first end tissue is coupled to the second end tissue by mating the coupling device to a mating anastomosis device.

Abstract: In one example, a fluid system component includes a first element and a second element, where one or both of the first and second elements are configured to be exposed to a fluid. The fluid system also includes a flexible diaphragm positioned between the first and second elements. Finally, the fluid system component includes one or more retaining elements, each retaining element having a first portion received in the first element and a second portion received in the second element. The retaining elements also extend through the flexible diaphragm.
