Abstract: A system and method for verification of nasogastric tube (NGT) placement is provided. A fiber optic light guide includes a proximal end with a light source connection and a distal end having a light emitting tip. The light guide is constructed and arranged for insertion into a lumen of the NGT. A stop that prevents the distal end of the light guide from exiting a distal end of the NGT. The stop is adapted to engage a connector on the proximal end of the NGT. The light emitting tip can comprises a radial emitter. The light source can emit light at approximately 650 nm with an output power of approximately 30W. The stop is located so that the distal end of the light guide is positioned at an offset from the distal end of the NGT when the stop engages the proximal end of the NGT.

Abstract: Systems for sizing oral appliances comprise both a width measuring template or tool for determining the distance between opposed molars and an arch sizing tool for determining the size and shape of the patient's dental arch. Based on this information, individual appliances can be selected from an inventory of such appliances, where the selected appliance would best fit the patient.

Abstract: An artificial turf system having a bottom layer comprised of a plurality of pads constructed from a cross-linked, closed cell, high-density foam, a top layer of synthetic fibers disposed upon the bottom layer to provide a synthetic grass surface, and an infill layer installed upon the top layer wherein the bottom layer functions to provide shock absorbing characteristics to the artificial turf system as well as to evacuate water laterally.
