  • Patent number: 6059484
    Abstract: An apparatus to stretch one end of a catheter guide wire, and to secure the catheter guide wire in a dispenser tube is provided, including an introduction aid and a connection element. The introduction aid includes an elongate hollow element having an open distal end and an open proximal end, a cylindrical section having an undercut and a conical section tapering away from the cylindrical section. The cylindrical section contains a longitudinal U-shaped slit defining a flexible tongue, where the flexible tongue is adapted for pressing into the cylindrical section. The connection element includes a proximal connector, a tubular distal connector, and a central section between the proximal and distal connectors. The central section is open such that the guide wire is accessible, and includes an advancing surface. The proximal connector connects to the end of a catheter guide wire dispenser tube.

  • Patent number: 5718825
    Abstract: A liquid filter, such as an oil or gas filter, is provided which has a cup-shaped cylindrical filter housing to be mounted in a vertical orientation, with a releasable cover closing the filter housing. A liquid inlet passage and a liquid outlet passage are provided at the housing. A replaceable, substantially hollow cylindrical filter insert is vertically arranged in the housing. The filter insert being formed of a filter material member arranged between an upper and a lower disc. A collar, which is impervious to solid contaminants removed by the filter material member, extends from the lower disc upwardly along a part of the height of the filter insert, surrounding an outer circumference of the filter insert member. In this manner a collection chamber is formed for the filtered solid particles at the lower disc.
