  • Publication number: 20230143889
    Abstract: A wrist support board has a board with a ventral surface and an opposite dorsal surface, a smooth curve lengthwise, a proximal end to the board and an opposite distal end, a proximal strap, a distal strap, and a center strap. The proximal strap and the distal strap extend from the ventral surface and wrap a patient's arm placed upon the dorsal surface. The center strap extends through slots in the board proximate the vertex of the curve. The center strap enwraps a patient's arm slightly proximal from the patient's wrist. The proximal strap, the distal strap, and the center strap are perpendicular to the board. The three straps secure near their own centers to the board and present two free ends that wrap around a patient's arm. The wrist support board assists in the immobilizing, stabilizing, and hyper-exposure of the trans-radial artery of a patient.

  • Patent number: 10625045
    Abstract: An expandable intra-venous catheter for a faster intra-venous fluid challenge combination has a needle with a tip and an opposite base, a block receiving the needle axially, an inflator port in the block and an opposite IV port 5 in the block, the IV port has fluid communication into the needle, at least three inflators deployed along the needle outwardly from the block, the inflator port has gaseous communication into the inflators, a sheath extending from the block over the inflators towards the tip, and an IV tube upon the needle and within the sheath. The catheter has a flat state and an expanded state. The catheter minimizes the need for multiple access points and raises the rate of access success upon a practitioner's initial IV attempt.

  • Patent number: 10149790
    Abstract: An Evacu Zip and Carry Strap with Clamp device has a body generally rectangular in shape with a chest merging to a neck that widens to a shoulder. From the shoulder, a cover and a spaced below lower jaw extend opposite the neck. Beneath the cover, an upper jaw pivots upon a pin to mutually engage teeth with teeth upon the lower jaw. A knob joined to a shaft advances a rod to move the upper jaw from an open position to a closed position. In the closed position, the device grips a pillowtop or other material for rapid conversion of it into a stretcher for evacuation. The knob to turns towards counterclockwise for closing the upper jaw to the lower jaw. The invention also includes a strap extending from the chest. An alternate embodiment includes lighting directed towards the two jaws.
