  • Patent number: 11944770
    Abstract: An expandable introducer sheath with an interlock dilator. The present technology provides an expandable sheath with a step feature inside its distal opening, and a dilator with an interlock that includes a catch surface configured to engage with the step feature and resist further relative movement so that the body of the dilator is prevented from exiting the distal end of the expandable sheath. This interlocking engagement may allow the dilator to be used to extend and maintain tension on the expandable sheath during insertion into a patient, and then to be retracted from the expandable sheath by pulling the dilator in the opposite direction. The present technology also provides a dilator hub with a spring mechanism configured to achieve and maintain a desired tension on the expandable sheath and to prevent overextension of the expandable sheath when the dilator is being inserted into the expandable sheath.

  • Patent number: 9724364
    Abstract: An aerosol hydrogen peroxide mixture agent with trigger sprayer that can be easily held in one hand. The hydrogen peroxide agent is in a bag inside a can and under pressure from air or nitrogen or mixture thereof, and can only be initially opened and released by pulling the tab of the trigger sprayer. The trigger assembly cannot be sprayed until the tab is pulled. The can is cylindrical canister housing and has a dip tube that goes to the bag of the can to the hydrogen peroxide mixture agent. There is propellant composed of air or nitrogen or mixture thereof in the can that pushes on the bag holding the hydrogen peroxide mixture agent up through the dip tube to the valve operative and then to the actuator stem up through the trigger sprayer.

  • Patent number: 9375593
    Abstract: An Aerosol Fire Extinguisher with Trigger Sprayer that can be easily held in one hand. The extinguishing agent is under pressure in an aerosol can and can only be released by pulling the tab of the trigger sprayer. The Trigger Sprayer Unit cannot be sprayed until the tab is pulled. The Can is a cylindrical canister housing and has a Dip Tube that goes to the bottom of the can to the Fire Extinguishing Agent. There is Propellant in the can that pushes the Fire Extinguishing Agent up through the Dip Tube. Pulling the tab of the Sprayer Unit allows the Trigger to be pressed and be moved so the Trigger Pivoting Member of the Trigger Sprayer Unit is able to press down on the stem of the Mounting Cup of the Can which then allows the Propellant in the Can to force the Fire Extinguishing Agent through the Dip Tube up through the Chamber Hole into the Direction Chamber with pressure out the Nozzle toward the fire.
