  • Patent number: 8197236
    Abstract: A pump rotor for a roller pump, is disclosed. The rotor comprises: a first roller support comprising a first roller; a second roller support comprising a second roller; an element in the center connected to the first and second roller supports, wherein the first and second roller supports may move angularly with respect to the center element causing distance between the first and second rollers to be varied; first and second positioning elements that connect the first and second roller supports, respectively, to the center element; and first and second spring biased components surrounding first and second positioning elements, respectively, to allow the first and second roller supports to move to allow for automatic adjustment of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 7883501
    Abstract: A double syringe delivery system is disclosed for holding a pair of syringes in a manner so as to accommodate the simultaneous activation of the plunger of each syringe in order to effect simultaneous delivery of the contents of each syringe. The delivery system includes a delivery mechanism for delivering the contents of both syringes to a site of application. The delivery system further includes a support member that is positioned between the two syringe bodies. The elongated support member has resilient, C-shaped clamps on one end of the support member. The clamps are designed to be removably clamped onto the applicator so that the syringe barrels will be held together in a parallel manner. The elongated support member further comprises finger grips. A plunger connects the two syringe plungers so that they can also be simultaneously activated.

  • Patent number: 7867159
    Abstract: A centrifugal method, and corresponding system, for processing blood to collect platelet rich plasma. A separation chamber is filled with blood from a fill syringe by rotating the separation chamber at a fill rotation rate and pumping the blood from the fill syringe. A soft spin is used to initially separate red blood cells from platelets by spinning the separation chamber at a soft spin rate. A percentage of the blood is drawn from the separation chamber back into the fill syringe to remove separated red blood cells. A second portion of the separated blood is drawn from the separation chamber until a red blood cell/platelet interface is detected. A hard spin is performed by spinning the separation chamber at a higher rate and connecting tubing is cleared of red blood cells by drawing a predetermined clearing volume. The platelet rich plasma is then collected in the collection syringe.
