Abstract: A capnography mask includes a mask body having a cover portion configured to cover at least the nostrils of a patient's nose and forms a breathing cavity for inhalation of inflow gas and exhalation of expired gas. The mask also includes an inflow port fluidly connected to the breathing cavity for delivering the inflow gas to the breathing cavity, an outflow port fluidly connected to the breathing cavity for delivering the expired gas out of the breathing cavity, and a capnography port fluidly connected to the breathing cavity for delivering a sample of the expired gas to a capnography machine. The inflow, outflow and capnography ports may be unitarily formed by respective portions of the mask body to form a unitary mask structure. The ports may include respective tube segments that may cooperate with respective ribs to distribute load away from the alar fibrofatty tissue of the patient's nose, thereby improving comfort.

Abstract: A UV light delivery device for performing intra-corporeal ultraviolet therapy is provided. The device includes an elongated body separating a proximal end and a distal end. The device also includes a UV light source configured to be received at the receiving space and a cooling tube. In some examples, the UV light source is configured to emit light with wavelengths with a desired intensity between 320 nm and 410 nm and is utilized in conjunction with an endotracheal tube or a nasopharyngeal airway.

Abstract: Syringe plunger rods comprising an elongate body formed from a composition comprising one or more of virgin material, a sterilization-stable recycled resin and a biobased compositions are described. Plunger rods comprising a plurality of ribs, some of which may have a plurality of openings, are also described. The plunger rods requiring less material while maintaining sufficient structural integrity to function properly.

Abstract: An injection pen (1) includes a housing (2), a lead screw (75), a dose set member (6), a setback member (17), and a rotatable driver (60). The lead screw (75) is axially moveable in the housing (2). The dose set member (6) is connected to the housing (2) for dose setting and dose correcting. The setback member (17) is operatively connected to the dose set member (6). The rotatable driver (60) is operatively connected to the setback member (17) and the lead screw (75). The driver (60) is prevented from rotating during dose setting and dose correcting, and the driver (60) rotates during an injection to axially move the lead screw (75).

Abstract: A medication injection pen (50) includes a housing (1) and a dose set knob (2) rotatably connected to the housing (1) for setting a dose. An indicator member (200) is movable between an visible position indicating a zero position of the dose set knob (2) and a non-visible position indicating a non-zero position of the dose set knob (2). The indicator member is visible to a user in the visible position and not visible in the non-visible position. The dose set knob is in the zero position when a set dose has been completely administered. Accordingly, a visible indication is provided to a user when a set dose has been completely administered.

Abstract: A safety shield adapted for use with a syringe having a syringe barrel for protecting a needle after use in a medical procedure is disclosed. The safety shield includes a first portion disposed at least partially about the barrel and axially movable from a retracted position surrounding at least a portion of the syringe barrel to an extended position wherein at least the distal end of the first portion extends beyond the distal end of the syringe barrel. The shield further includes a second portion associated with the first portion and axially movable with respect to the first portion from a retracted position to an extended position extending beyond the distal end of the first portion, First and second locking members are provided for locking the first and second portions in an extended position upon axial movement thereof.

Abstract: A plunger rod adapted for attachment with a stopper for use with a syringe barrel is disclosed. The plunger rod includes an elongated member having a front end and a back end, the plunger rod extending along a longitudinal axis. The plunger rod includes at least one deflecting arm associated with the front end of the elongated member. The deflecting arm is capable of deflecting radially inward during insertion of the plunger rod into a stopper, and deflecting outward into contact with an inner surface of the stopper after insertion to lock the plunger rod within the stopper.

Abstract: A stopper adapted for attachment with a plunger rod for use within a syringe barrel is disclosed. The stopper includes a main body defining an open rearward end and a closed front end. The open rearward end is adapted to receive a front forward end attachment portion of the plunger rod. The stopper also includes a core member integrally formed with said main body adjacent the closed front end. The core member includes a nose portion having a profile adapted to create a positive seal with an outlet opening of such syringe barrel.
