Abstract: A heart pump assembly includes an impeller blade coupled to a rotor or a drive shaft, a cannula, a distal projection coupled to a distal end of the cannula and a blood inlet having a plurality of apertures. The plurality of apertures is radially oriented and disposed about a circumference of the cannula. The plurality of apertures includes at least a first ring of apertures which are proximal to the distal projection and a second ring of apertures which are proximal of the first ring of apertures. The plurality of apertures can allow the heart pump assembly to continue to function if anatomical structures or tissue become suctioned to a portion of the heart pump.

Abstract: An inclusive hooded garment with skullcap, lower face covering with mouth hole, and glove options. The back of a skull cap is permanently fixed to the garment at the base of the hood by stitching or other fixing method allowing for use of the skull cap alone, the hood alone, or both in conjunction. The front, lower portions of both sides of the hood near the user's cheeks include two sets of snaps, buttons or other securing devices that when pulled together and secured create a lower face and chin covering with an opening for the user's mouth. Standard drawstrings or draw cords may be used to tighten the enclosure around the upper face. A thin, functional glove is permanently fixed to the bottom of each sleeve of the garment. When not in use, each glove can be folded up and secured or concealed in a pocket or other storage space located on the lower sleeve of the garment. The dual focus of the garment is on integrated functionality while maintaining a fashionable element.
