Abstract: An apparatus for controlling or metering a viscoelastic material for eye surgery. Such an apparatus may generally comprise a housing having a cylinder; a plunger having at least a portion operable to move within the cylinder; a reservoir; an inlet check; and an outlet check valve fluidly coupled to the reservoir. The inlet check valve may be configured to allow the viscoelastic material into the reservoir at a priming pressure. An actuator can be coupled to the plunger and configured to move the plunger in a first direction to increase the pressure in the reservoir to a delivery pressure that is sufficient to close the inlet check valve and open the outlet check valve. A return spring can be configured to move the plunger in a second direction to decrease the pressure in the reservoir.

Abstract: A personal hygiene product with a digital element is described. In one embodiment, a conductive sensor assembly is disposed within the personal hygiene product that includes one or more moisture sensors that generate a resistive and/or capacitive signal indicative of saturation of the personal hygiene product when in wetting contact with menstrual fluid.

Abstract: An intravaginal device has a fluid storage element and at least one fluid transport element in fluid communication with the fluid storage element. The at least one fluid transport element has a first plate and a second plate coupled to the first plate. The second plate is capable of separating from the first plate sufficiently to provide inter-plate capillary action. The at least one fluid transport element is bendable about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fluid storage element. The invention also includes methods and apparatus useful in the production of an intravaginal device.

Abstract: An externally-applied heat exchange pad has three layers laminated together, an inner and outer non-conductive layer and a middle conductive layer.

Abstract: A system for exchanging heat with primary coolant flowing through an intravascular catheter or externally-applied pad to warm or cool a patient. A secondary heat transfer element can be engaged with a primary heat transfer element and is not grounded when the primary heat transfer element is fully engaged with the secondary heat transfer element during operation. In contrast, the secondary heat transfer element is grounded when the primary heat transfer element is at a predetermined disengaged position relative to the secondary heat transfer element.
