Abstract: A disinfection system for a medical probe is disclosed. The system can include a container configured to receive the medical probe. A plurality of ultraviolet (UV) light emitters can be included for emitting UV light in the container to disinfect a surface of the medical probe. A bracket system can be coupled to the container and configured to couple the container to a portion of a medical device comprising the medical probe or a mobile caster holding pole.

Abstract: Devices and methods for disinfecting a medical probe are provided. In an aspect, a disinfection device for a medical probe includes a container having an opening, a plurality of ultraviolet (UV) light emitters disposed in the container and to emit UV light to disinfect a surface of the medical probe, and a probe holder to hold the medical probe apart from the plurality of electromagnetic wave emitters when at least a portion the medical probe is inserted into the opening of the container and the probe holder.

Abstract: An improved catheter for delivery of a saline solution to a fallopian tube to be examined by ultrasonic energy and for filling the uterus with a saline solution simultaneously in a sealed position. The device uses first and second expandable balloon sealing elements, one for the fallopian tube opening, the other for the cervix opening to completely seal the fallopian tube and the uterus. The distance between the balloons is adjustable, and a catheterization tip is insertable through a lumen into the fallopian tube. Liquid is provided to the balloons through separate lumens that include cutoff valves for holding the liquid in the balloons. The method employed involves inserting the distal end of the device into the uterus opening while positioning the balloon within the cervical opening and positioning a second balloon in the fallopian tube. The method then includes expanding both balloons so that the cervix and then the fallopian tube are sealed tightly.

Abstract: A laparoscopic instrument for manipulating an internal organ during surgery comprising an elongated cannula and a plurality of elongated, individually movable finger prongs operatively associated with the cannula, for engaging and manipulating an internal organ. The finger prong elements are incrementally movable from an open configuration wherein the finger prong elements are substantially spaced, to a closed configuration wherein the finger prong elements are substantially adjacent. A handle is connected to the proximal end of the cannula and includes a finger prong actuating lever for allowing the user to open and close the finger prong elements.
