Abstract: A balloon sealing system includes a housing having a top, a bottom, a front face, a back face, and two sides; a fill nozzle extending substantially through the housing, the fill nozzle including a fill nozzle inlet extending through the top of the housing, and a fill nozzle outlet extending through the bottom of the housing; a sealer, including a first sealing arm extending from a first side of the two sides, and a second sealing arm extending from a second side of the two sides, one of the first sealing arm and second sealing arm including a heating element that emits heat when activated; and an on/off control for activating the heating element. Furthermore, upon being activated by the on/off control, the heating element emits a sufficient quantity of heat to heat seal a balloon attached to the fill nozzle outlet.

Abstract: A wound bandage comprises a two-part bandage frame having an upper frame member and a separable lower frame member, with the upper frame member having a wound dressing attached thereto and being removably securable to the lower frame member to enable periodic changing of the dressing or inspection or treatment of the wound while the lower frame member remains affixed around the wound framing the area to be treated. The lower frame member may be held in place around the wound by sutures threaded through apertures in lobes on the lower frame member. This arrangement finds particular application in difficult to bandage wounds such as found on animals.
