  • Therapeutic gas tube safety reel having easy tube replacement means and method of replacement
    Patent number: 6588444
    Abstract: A safety reel for storing, paying out and rewinding tube is provided. As tubing is paid out of the reel a coil spring is wound tight to provide the energy to recoil the tubing when desired. In this way tubing may be reeled up to a desired length and is thereby not underfoot, causing potential tripping hazards and tube crushing situations. The safety reel of the present invention allows the quick and easy replacement of tubing. The reel and case are provided with easy alignment devices such that the internal reel hose guide inlet and the external case payout opening may be quickly and easily aligned together so that tubing may be quickly and easily replaced. In this manner the user is encouraged to replace the tubing at recommended intervals so that germs, bacteria and the like are minimized and the user's health is better protected.

  • Sealed catheter device
    Patent number: 5261416
    Abstract: A catheter device (20) for taking uncontaminated culture specimens from a patient through an orifice includes an outer catheter (22), an inner catheter (23) disposed within the internal passage (33) of the outer catheter (22) and self-sealing valve means (60) located at a distal end of the outer catheter and remotely actuatable via the inner catheter (23) for selectively sealing the proximal end (31) of the outer catheter (22) to prevent contamination of the aperture (49) employed to obtain a specimen by aspiration.
