  • Publication number: 20220260858
    Abstract: An eye shield has an attachment device configured to be coupled to an optical device. The attachment device includes a clamping ring that has an open position and a closed position. The eye shield further has a shield coupled to the clamping ring to pivot away and towards the clamping ring, the shield extends laterally from the attachment device and a locking element that is disposed on the clamping ring and configured to lock the clamping ring in the closed position. The locking element has a locked and an unlocked position, and when the locking element is in the locked position the clamping ring is in the closed position.

  • Publication number: 20120255555
    Abstract: An assembly structured to inflate a retaining or pressure cuff of a medical device of the type associated with artificial airway tube and concurrently monitor pressure therein. A pump assembly is movably connected to a casing and structured to force fluid flow, for inflation of a pressure chamber of the casing. An indicator member is visually accessible through a casing window and is variably positionable dependent on and indicative of existing pressure within the retaining cuff. The existing pressure within the pressure chamber is substantially equivalent to that within the retaining cuff thereby facilitating the variable position of the indicator member being indicative of pressure within the retaining cuff. A junction between the casing and an inflation lumen is structured to allow disconnection and prevent reconnection between the casing and the lumen.

  • Publication number: 20110220119
    Abstract: An assembly structured to inflate a retaining or pressure cuff of a medical device including of the type associated with an artificial airway tube such as an endotracheal tube and/or tracheostomy tube and concurrently monitor pressure therein including a casing having a pressure chamber on its interior. A pump assembly is movably connected to the casing and structured to force fluid flow to the retaining cuff, for inflation, through said pressure chamber. An indicator member is disposed within the casing and is visually accessible through the casing window, wherein the indicator member is variably positionable dependent on and indicative of existing pressure within the retaining cuff. The existing pressure within the pressure chamber is substantially equivalent to that within the retaining cuff thereby facilitating the variable position of the indicator member to be indicative of pressure within the retaining cuff.

  • Patent number: 7841732
    Abstract: A shower lamp assembly is formed with a water driven electric generator to power an LED light source. The assembly includes a first channel directing water to drive the generator. The generator is supported on a movable portion of a bypass valve that opens on a high water flow condition to direct a portion of the water to a second channel way from the generator. The generator is otherwise tuned to provide sufficient electricity under low water flow conditions to properly power the lamp. The lamp generator is then protected by the bypass valve from damage during high water flow conditions.
