  • Patent number: 8424136
    Abstract: A mobile treatment table having a central support operably connected with a wheel assembly. A support member is pivotally connected with the central support and operable between a vertical position and a horizontal position. At least one support leg is disposed at a distal end of the support member and operable between a deployed position substantially orthogonal to the support member and a non-deployed position substantially parallel with the support member.

  • Patent number: 8332977
    Abstract: A medical examination device is provided with a pair of foot support assemblies, a patient support mat, and a pair of legs. Wheel assemblies are attached to the legs facilitate the transportation of the device to and from a bed whereby the support assemblies, patient support mat, and legs are extended and adjusted to support a patient on the bed to facilitate a medical examination. The foot support assemblies, patient support mat, and legs are collapsible so that the device is transported and stored in a small, compact size.

  • Patent number: 6874187
    Abstract: An opener and tool for breaking medical containers, such as, for example, ampoules that includes an elongated handle which has a first end and a second end, an upper edge and a lower edge, and an opener which defines an opening extending into the upper edge at the first end and further defining a flexible cantilevered arm. The opener and tool has at least one arcuate pocket for gripping containers of different sizes between sides of the opening, holding the container and breaking a tip of the container to remove a liquid therefrom for further use with powdered components to produce a mix. The opener and tool also includes a spatula disposed at the second end of the handle.

  • Patent number: 6179807
    Abstract: An irrigator (20) useful for surgical and medical procedures. The irrigator includes a handpiece (22) to which a tip assembly (30) is attached. The handpiece (22) includes a drain tube (50) that extends through the body of the handpiece and outside of the handpiece to the complementary suction system. The tip assembly includes a discharge tube (32) that is snap secured into the front of the handpiece and a suction tube (48) that seats in the open front end of the drain tube. A removable splash shield (181) is attached to the front end of the tip assembly. A trigger (44) allows one-handed control of, the position of the handpiece, the on/off state of the irrigator and the rate at which fluid is discharged from the irrigator. A rechargeable power pack (222) can be used to supply the energization current needed to activate a number of different handpieces at different speeds.

  • Patent number: 5433588
    Abstract: A peristaltic pump includes a panel member having a rotatably driven rotor with roller elements on it, two projections which each have insert-receiving slots, two cover-supporting slots each extending away from a respective projection, and an orientation tab disposed between the projections. A one-piece insert has a platelike portion with ends slidably received in the insert-receiving slots, a recess which receives the orientation tab, and two pairs of aligned projections on opposite sides thereof, the insert further including a flexible tube extending around the rotor and having its ends engaging respective projections on one side of the platelike portion. A cover member is removably supported on the panel member by flanges which slidably engage the cover-receiving slots and by locking surfaces thereon which engage locking surfaces on the projections, the cover member including a curved surface adjacent and facing the roller elements on the rotor, and serving as a cover for the tube and rotor.
