  • Patent number: 8216132
    Abstract: A lifting cap for attachment to a handle of a laryngoscope for facilitating oral endotrachael intubation. The lifting cap includes an undulating side wall that forms a plurality of finger-grip notches. The finger-grip notches enable a second user to securely grip the lifting cap while a first user grips the handle of the laryngoscope during an intubation procedure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6454704
    Abstract: A lifting cap for a laryngoscope which facilitates oral endotracheal intubation. The lifting cap includes an abutment member, such as a plate, and fastener, such as a threaded shaft, which is adapted to attach the plate to the distal end of the handle of a laryngoscope. The plate extends radially outwardly from the handle a substantial distance to an outer peripheral edge. The lifting cap enables a user of the laryngoscope to abut their hand against the plate to provide a lifting force to the handle of the laryngoscope and to reduce the gripping pressure that would otherwise be required to be applied to the handle of the laryngoscope, while promoting proper lifting direction of the laryngoscope.

  • Patent number: 5807312
    Abstract: A bolus pump apparatus is provided for connecting an IV bag to an infusion set. The bolus pump apparatus includes a pump connector assembly and a syringe pump. The pump connector assembly includes one or more valves adapted to provide selective fluid communication between the IV bag, the syringe pump, and the infusion set. The syringe draws a bolus of fluid from the IV bag through the pump connector assembly while the pump connector assembly prevents fluid within the infusion set from being drawn into the syringe. The syringe pumps a bolus of fluid from the syringe through the pump connector assembly to the infusion set, while the pump connector assembly prevents fluid within the syringe from being pumped into the IV bag.
