Abstract: Thermoplastic bicomponent binder fiber can be combined with other media, fibers and other filtration components to form a thermally bonded filtration media. The filtration media can be used in filter units, such as breather caps. Such filter units can be placed in the stream of a mobile fluid and can remove a particulate and/or fluid mist load from the mobile stream. The unique combination of media fiber, bicomponent binder fiber and other filtration additives and components provide a filtration media having unique properties in filtration applications.

Abstract: A guard for medical instruments includes an opening defining portion that defines an opening capable of receiving a portion of a medical instrument. The guard also includes a base portion that maintains the guard in a stable position such that the opening defining portion is separated from a surface that the guard is resting on. In other embodiments, the guard includes an opening that is large enough to permit the insertion of the end of a medical instrument and a contoured portion that at least partially follows the contour of the end of the medical instrument.
