  • Patent number: 5666966
    Abstract: A suction-type blood sampler has a housing (1), a lancet unit (2) having a rod (4) extending backward from the lancet unit, and a plunger (3) connected to the rod in the housing and having a seal (7) attached to a forward end of the plunger. The seal is in sliding airtight contact with an inner periphery of the housing. The lancet unit consists of a lancet body (11) having a forwardly extending needle (12) and held by a lancet retainer (18) which is in sliding contact with the inner periphery. The blood sampler further has first, second and third springs (8, 9, 10) placed between the lancet unit and the plunger. The second spring urges the lancet unit to project the needle forwards, and the third spring tends to retract it. The first spring acts to reduce air pressure in the housing when the plunger is released.

  • Patent number: 5556411
    Abstract: A trocar assembly includes a cannula, a trocar needle fitted in a lumen of the cannula, a cannula-retaining member having a through-hole for inserting the cannula therein and being provided at a bottom thereof with an adhesive layer for fixing the cannula in place on the skin of a patient. The cannula is adapted to be held in the retaining member by engaging elements between them to permit the cannula to move forward continuously or continually through the through-hole of the retaining member as well as to fix the cannula in a desired position.

  • Patent number: 5281204
    Abstract: A device for forming an inserting hole comprising at least two tubes having different outer diameters, and at least one of a guide wire and a sticking needle. A largest diameter tube has at its thick-walled end at least one longitudinal and approximately linear tearing line. The largest diameter tube, after being inserted into the body, can be torn using the tearing line and fixed to the skin of a patient by sewing a folded portion of the tube on the skin. The tube is not moved by the breathing or pressure since it is fixed to the skin. When the tearing line is formed by an ultrasonic cutter, width of the tearing line can be made narrow thereby preventing adhesion of bacteria to a cut portion and unexpected opening of the tearing line in the body.

  • Patent number: 4414433
    Abstract: A microphone output transmission circuit for a capactive microphone such as an electret microphone employs a differential amplifier to provide a transformerless balanced connection to a microphone transmission line, either at the transmission end or at the reception end thereof. Power is applied in a phantom connection by superimposing a DC voltage on two balanced signal conductors of the transmission line, and using the shield thereof as a ground return line. A pair of microphones with oppositely-directed sound-gathering planes can be connected to respective inputs of a differential amplifier at the transmission end, so that the two microphones together have a bidirectional characteristic.
