Patent number: 11229755Abstract: A medical gas condition system for supplying a liquid hydration fluid to a hydrator before or during an ongoing medical procedure by coupling the flow of liquid hydration fluid into the hydrator to either the absence of flow of medical insufflation gas into the hydrator or to a condition where the liquid hydration fluid can be absorbed by a hydrator without being forced through the hydrator in liquid form.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2016Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: LEXION MEDICAL, LLCInventors: Douglas E. Ott, Nathanial Tran
-
Patent number: 10406301Abstract: A fail-safe insufflation device having a thermal cutoff for interrupting power to an electrical heater to prevent overheating of insufflation gas wherein the thermal cutoff operates independent of a temperature control system to provide electrical shutdown of an electrical heater in response to a hostile temperature condition of the insufflation gas or a hostile temperature condition proximate the electrical heater.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2012Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: LEXION MEDICAL, LLCInventors: Douglas E Ott, Steven Williams, Nathanial Tran
-
Patent number: 10232132Abstract: A cannula adapter for converting a trocar insufflator into a two-phase or two-mode insufflation system. In the needle insufflation mode the insufflation gas flows through a trocar cannula, a cannula adapter and an insufflation needle before entering a body cavity and in the trocar insufflation mode gas flows directly into the body cavity from the trocar cannula. The cannula adapter although sealingly attachable to the trocar cannula during the needle insufflation mode is removable therefrom for a seamless transfer between the needle insufflation mode and the trocar insufflation mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: LEXON MEDICAL LLCInventors: Douglas E. Ott, Nathanial Tran

-
Publication number: 20170274154Abstract: A trocar assembly wherein a trocar with an elongated polygonal tube can receive either an obturator or a medical instrument of a dissimilar cross-sectional shape with the medical instrument of the different cross sectional shape maintable in a central condition therein to inhibit pressure losses to lateral flow to thereby permit use of a cannula having a smaller cross sectional area than a cylindrical cannula as well as inhibit trauma to an entry site around the cannula.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2017Publication date: September 28, 2017Inventors: Steven Williams, Brandon Lee Michal, Nathanial Tran
