  • Patent number: 11701124
    Abstract: A tourniquet device includes a first jaw having a first tapered tip, and a second jaw having a second tapered tip. The first and second jaws are moveable towards one another to provide a pressure to a member positioned between the jaws. The first tapered tip is offset from the second tapered tip such that the first tapered tip and the second tapered tip are moveable relative to one another in separate planes and the first tapered tip is moveable past the second tapered tip as the first and second jaws are moved towards one another.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11311701
    Abstract: A tube stabilising device (10, 20, 30) for a tube attached to a patient, comprising a base member (110, 210, 310) fixable to a surface, the base member having a support surface (112, 212, 312) for supporting the base member on a surface of the patient. The tube stabilising device further comprising a tube retaining member (120, 220, 320). The base member includes a cavity (114, 214, 314) configured to receive a flange (122, 222, 322) of the tube retaining member such that, when received, the cavity at least partially overlaps the flange so that the flange is retained by the base member, the tube retaining member is moveably attached to the base member and the flange is moveable within the cavity in any direction parallel to the support surface. The tube retaining member is configured to retain a tube extending from the patient such that, when retained, the tube is moveable relative to the base member.

  • Patent number: 10900593
    Abstract: A retaining device for a flexible line, comprising a first member (100), a second member (200) moveably attachable to the first member, and a guiding means (110, 210) positioned on either or both of the first member (100) and the second member (200). The first member has a first retaining portion (400) positioned on a first retaining surface (100a) of the first member. The second member has a second retaining portion (400) positioned on a second retaining surface (200a) of the second member. The first retaining portion and the second retaining portion are each configured to retain a flexible line, and the guiding means (110, 210) is configured to determine the curvature of the flexible line to inhibit kinking of the flexible line when retained by the first retaining portion (400) and the second retaining portion (400).
