  • Publication number: 20210275074
    Abstract: A grip assessment device includes a support structure having a periphery, a cover positioned around the support structure and configured to define a grip surface, and a plurality of sensor elements disposed along the periphery of the support structure, each respective sensor element of the plurality of sensor elements being configured to generate an output signal indicative of force applied to the grip surface at the respective sensor element. The plurality of sensor elements are distributed across the grip surface such that the output signals from the plurality of sensor elements are collectively indicative of a grip profile along the grip surface, the grip profile providing grip position data and grip magnitude data correlated with the grip position data.

  • Patent number: 9561298
    Abstract: A contoured sterilizing element is configured to conform to the outer and inner surfaces of a working end-site of a medical device such as a catheter hub, luer connector, luer component, needleless access site, and/or access port. The sterilizing element is made from absorbent material and can be pre-moistened or impregnated with an anti-pathogenic agent. The sterilizing element can be contained within a housing that is easily gripped and opened in one hand by the user. The sterilizing element is configured to wipe debris from and to sterilize and/or dry a working end-site of medical device, using a wiping, twisting, dabbing, push/pull, and/or screwing motion around all of the surface aspects of the device to be sterilized.
