  • Publication number: 20190015030
    Abstract: A system, method and apparatus are provided for facilitating the extraction of bodily fluids, including blood, in a medical setting. The disclosed apparatus is configured as a single unit integral apparatus composed of two opposing and interconnected flexible clip components. A proximal end of a unitary apparatus includes two opposing flexible clip components configured to flexibly yet firmly engage a thumb or finger of the medical professional undertaking the blood draw in a manner that secures the apparatus to the thumb or finger of the medical professional during the blood draw evolution. A distal end of the unitary apparatus includes two opposing flexible clip components configured to flexibly yet firmly engage a blood tube holder of a typical standard diameter to securely hold the blood tube holder in place in proximity to the thumb or finger of the medical professional during the blood draw evolution.

  • Patent number: 8410213
    Abstract: A two-part polyurethane adhesive comprising a prepolymer having the reaction product of a non-ionic surfactant and an allophanate modified isocyanate and a curative having a urethane modified high molecular weight polyol, a urethane modified cross-linking compound and a non-urethane modified low molecular weight chain extending compound. The curative has less than 5 equivalent percent total amino and hydroxyl groups having an equivalent weight greater than about 200. The two-part polyurethane adhesive may be used to adhere one or more substrates and can generally be applied without primer or any significant surface preparation.
