  • Patent number: 9364644
    Abstract: An indeflator for inflating a therapeutic balloon. A barrel has an interior chamber that receives fluid and an outlet in fluid communication with the interior chamber. A plunger sealingly engages the interior of the barrel. The plunger is selectively movable to dispense fluid through the outlet of the barrel. A coarse inflation control assembly includes a coarse inflation actuator that rotates about a coarse rotational axis to dispense fluid through the barrel at an inverse coarse inflation rate. A fine inflation control assembly includes a fine inflation actuator selectively rotatable about a fine rotational axis to dispense fluid through the outlet at an inverse fine inflation rate. The inverse fine inflation rate is greater than the inverse coarse inflation rate.

  • Patent number: 9228679
    Abstract: A holder which has a loop portion securable around a flexible elongate in a folded configuration. A spine portion is coupled to the loop portion. At least one movable portion is adjustable between a first position, in which the at least one movable portion forms at least a portion of a handle in a substantially coplanar orientation relative to the spine portion, and a second position, in which the at least one movable portion forms at least one hook in a substantially transverse orientation relative to the spine portion. The at least one hook is positionable on a structure to support the loop portion in a hanging position on the structure.
