Publication number: 20180228934Abstract: A hemostatic device for promoting the clotting of blood includes a gauze substrate, a clay material disposed on the gauze substrate, and also a polyol such as glycerol or the like disposed on the gauze substrate to bind the clay material. When the device is used to treat a bleeding wound, at least a portion of the clay material comes into contact with blood emanating from the wound to cause the clotting. A bandage that can be applied to a bleeding wound to promote the clotting of blood includes a flexible substrate and a gauze substrate mounted thereon. The gauze substrate includes a clay material and a polyol. A hemostatic sponge also includes a gauze substrate and a dispersion of hemostatic material and a polyol on a first surface of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2018Publication date: August 16, 2018Inventors: Raymond J. Huey, Denny Lo, Daniel J. Burns, Giacomo Basadonna, Francis X. Hursey

Patent number: 9913570Abstract: A single-use electronic endoscope has a hub, a shaft extending from the hub, flexible or rigid as desired, and an expandable distal tip extending from the shaft. Within the distal tip, an image sensor provides a field of view external from the endoscope. Illuminating elements or light guides within the distal tip emit light to illuminate the field of view. The distal tip also has a variable profile working channel that permits tools to be passed from the hub and into the field of view. The expandable working channel changes cross-sectional shape from a generally noncircular shape to a shape to accommodate the cross-sectional shape of the tool when expanded.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: ENLIGHTENVUE LLCInventors: Robert C. Kucharski, Paul I. Bloom, Giacomo Basadonna, Larry O. Blankenship, Laura E. Bucknam
