Patent number: 10709496Abstract: A forceps includes an end effector assembly including first and second jaw members. One or both of the jaw members is movable relative to the other between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position for grasping tissue therebetween. One or both of the jaw members is configured to conduct energy between the jaw members and through tissue grasped therebetween to treat tissue. An insulative tubular member is movable relative to the end effector assembly between a retracted position, wherein the insulative tubular member is positioned proximally of the end effector assembly, and an extended position, wherein the insulative tubular member is disposed about the end effector assembly. A monopolar member is configured to apply energy to tissue to treat tissue when the insulative tubular member is disposed in the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Tony Moua, David N.

Patent number: 8361091Abstract: A cannula connects an organ with a perfusion system that monitors, treats, sustains and/or restores the viability of the organ and/or that transports and/or stores the organ. At least part of a cannula may be made of a soft elastomer to help avoid damage to the organ. In embodiments, the cannula includes a top portion, a bottom portion, a sealing ring and two compression straps. In embodiments, the cannula includes a top portion and a flexible bottom portion that may be attached to the top portion. In embodiments, part of the cannula is inserted directly into an artery and a suture is used to tie the artery in place. Also, the cannula may include an attachment feature that can be used to connect the cannula to an organ platform or chair. Various features of the cannula may allow a visual check for and venting of air bubbles in the cannula.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2003Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Organ Recovery Systems, Inc.Inventors: Douglas A. Schein, David W. Wright, Raymond Sirianne, Philip D. Palermo, Russell J. Kroll, John M. Brassil

Patent number: 5598837Abstract: A passive humidifier for use with positive airway pressure devices including a chamber having an inlet and an outlet for holding a supply of water. Pressurized air is forced over a series of baffles arrayed within parallel channels inside the chamber for creating localized turbulence at the free water surface to maximize humidification efficiency. An accumulation chamber in communication with the outlet reduces the likelihood of water droplets escaping from the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1995Date of Patent: February 4, 1997Assignee: Respironics, Inc.Inventors: Raymond A.
