Abstract: A mouth insert for treating nosebleeds includes a main body and a bite tab. The bite tab removably engages the main body and is configured to move up and/or down vertically in order to adjust the height of the device. The main body includes a horizontally extending elongated portion, a center portion extending downward from a bottom surface of the elongated portion, and the center portion has a narrower width than the horizontally extending elongated portion. The elongated portion of the main body is shaped and dimensioned to be inserted into a buccal cavity of a user's mouth and to fit behind the user's upper lip and in front of the user's upper gums, and the center portion is shaped and dimensioned to be positioned only in front of the user's upper front teeth.

Abstract: A device for treating nosebleeds includes a mouth insert having a horizontally extending elongated portion, a center portion extending downward from a bottom surface of the elongated portion and a bite tab extending backward from the center portion. The elongated portion is shaped and dimensioned to be inserted into a buccal cavity of a user's mouth and to fit behind the user's upper lip and in front of the user's upper gums. The center portion is shaped and dimensioned to be positioned in front of the user's upper front teeth and the bite tab is shaped and dimensioned to provide a biting surface for the user's front teeth. Biting down onto the bite tab pushes the elongated portion upward and applies pressure upward to the user's buccal cavity and towards an anterior portion of the user's nose.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for direct visual rhizotomy using an elongated tubular sheath. The sheath includes: a proximal end configured to removably receive a cannula; a distal end; a horizontal shaft having a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end and the distal end; a first cut-away generally defining a first plane at the distal end, the first cut-away characterized by a first angle relative to a vertical plane; and a second cut-away generally defining a second plane at the distal end, the second cut-away characterized by a second angle relative to a horizontal plane. The sheath further includes an endoscope camera disposed at the distal end, the camera having a line of sight substantially orthogonal to the first plane.
