Publication number: 20140029720Abstract: A movable device holds a radiation protection drape for reducing exposure and protecting medical personnel from hazardous X-ray radiation scattered by the patient during fluoroscopy. The device enables positioning an X-ray opaque drape such that it covers the patient in an anatomically and procedurally compatible ways that reduces significantly the scattered radiation towards the operators. The device is capable of repositioning the X-ray opaque drape according to the C-arm movement to prevent interfering with the X-ray beam and the fluoroscopy image. The device is simple to use, reusable, and intended for the invasive, diagnostic and interventional procedure done in the catheterization laboratory.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2012Publication date: January 30, 2014Inventors: AZRIEL BINYAMIN OSHEROV, Israel Chermoni, Normand Robert

Publication number: 20050261719Abstract: A catheter capable of being propelled through blood vessels. The catheter comprises at its distal end a head portion and, proximal thereto, a propulsion compartment. The propulsion compartment comprises an outer tube and an inner tube, the tubes being concentric, wherein one of the inner or outer tubes can slidingly move in relation to the other of the inner or outer tubes in response to a pressure exerted thereon by a fluid introduced into one or both of the tubes. A method for propelling a catheter through the lumen of a body vessel is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2002Publication date: November 24, 2005Inventor: Israel Chermoni

Patent number: 4422312Abstract: A lock assembly incorporating an exterior knob assembly which is axially movable into engagement with a latchbolt. The knob assembly includes a shaft having a circumferential groove into which a plurality of locking pins extend. The position of the locking pins is controlled by means of a number of combination knobs, and normally one or more of the locking pins is positioned within the circumferential groove to prevent axial movement of the exterior knob assembly. When the proper combination is chosen, the locking pins will be out of engagement with the groove, thereby allowing the exterior knob assembly to be moved into engagement with the latchbolt. The latch bolt can also be actuated by means of an interior knob assembly. The interior knob assembly is movable into a position which prevents engagement of the exterior knob assembly with the latchbolt despite the fact that the locking pins are all retracted from the circumferential groove.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1980Date of Patent: December 27, 1983Inventor: Israel Chermoni
