Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pet collar leash device adapted to be attached to and be carried on a pet collar. The collar leash device comprises a leash and a housing for receiving and storing the leash, wherein the housing is adapted to attach to and be carried on the pet's collar during and between uses of the leash. The pet end of the leash is secured within the housing, and the user end of the leash extends out of the housing and is accessible to the user. The collar leash device preferably possesses a handle attached to the user end of the leash for the user to hold when walking the pet. Preferably the housing is configured to receive and store the handle when the leash is not in use.

Abstract: Electrosurgical methods and apparatus for removing tissue from a target site of a patient. An electrosurgical suction apparatus includes an aspiration channel in communication with a distal aspiration port, and an electrode support having a plurality of active electrodes disposed thereon, the plurality of active electrodes spanning the aspiration port. Each of the plurality of active electrodes is adapted for removing tissue from a target site to form low molecular weight ablation by-products. Each of the plurality of active electrodes is also adapted for digesting resected tissue fragments to yield low molecular weight ablation by-products. Ablation by-products and resected tissue fragments are readily removed from the target site via an aspiration stream flowing proximally through the aspiration channel.

Abstract: An adjustable pnemostasis valve and method for providing a fluid seal around the periphery of endoscopic viewing scopes and instruments having a wide variety of cross-sectional sizes. The valve (8) comprises a first valve member (50) having an opening for receiving an elongated object, such as a percutaneous access device, viewing scope or an endoscopic instrument, and a flexible membrane (60) defining an aperture substantially aligned with the opening in the first valve member. A second valve member (40) is coupled to the flexible membrane for moving the membrane relative to the first valve member. As the membrane is moved by the second valve member, the size of the aperture varies so that the membrane can accommodate various sized instruments.
