Abstract: A light transmissible end cap comprising a lens and bayonet that can be attached to a handle is disclosed. The lens and the bayonet are light transmissible. The end cap can be attached to a handle of any shape, reversibly or non-reversibly, to create a light transmissible scalpel handle that can transmit, amplify, diverge and/or converge light from a light source disposed within the handle through the end cap, the lens and the bayonet. A universal blade fitting may be attached to the bayonet. The handle may be a surgical handle.

Abstract: A safety syringe extension adapter and an applicator unit having at least one applicator is disclosed. More particularly, an applicator unit is connected to a syringe by a safety syringe extension adapter and including an applicator wherein the applicator unit comprises pivotal movement relative thereto about two separate pivot axes for following the skin contours of a user during certain skin related procedures such as applying Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to the skin; applying a chemical peel to the skin using Trichloracetic Acid (TCA), glycolic acid (GA), or any fluid for purposes of applying to the skin; applying antiseptics to sterilize the skin prior to or after a procedure; or applying analgesics to the skin surface or any other fluid to the skin surface.

Abstract: A collection bottle that emits light once the lid of the bottle is rotated to its complete closed position is disclosed. An annular chamber concentric to the inner chamber of the collection bottle contains a dye such as fluorophor, a base catalyst, and diphenyl oxalate. A containment device is disposed in the annular chamber. The containment device holds one or more glass or other fragile material encasing vials containing hydrogen peroxide. The containment device is disposed in the vicinity of the bottle screw threads such that when the lid is completely screwed onto the collection bottle, a detent that is disposed above the superior lid screw thread compresses the exterior wall of the annular chamber and containment device, causing rupture of the vial(s) and allowing the hydrogen peroxide disposed therein to mix with the dye, base catalyst and diphenyl oxalate in the annular chamber.

Abstract: An assembly having a support element with a bayonet having a universal blade fitting inserted into the interior of a tube and an electrical source pod is disclosed. The tube is releasably attached to a handle and a blade is attached to the universal blade fitting to form a terminal configuration, such as a surgical scalpel. The support element provides stability and support for pressure placed on the blade to minimize or prevent breakage of the bayonet during cutting. The support element also provides a lever support and function for the tube it is attached to and the handle that attaches to it. Finally, the support element also serves as a guide rail for all assembly components to adhere to and along upon assembly of all components such as tube, electrical source pod and battery cartridge.

Abstract: A surgical scalpel handle assembly system and method that requires a surgeon to actively perform a verification process known as a “time out” verification process but specifically requires sequentially moving a series of actuator knobs on a scalpel handle upon affirming each criterion embedded in the scalpel handle. The required sequential confirmation of each criterion unlocks and ejects a blade holder from a scalpel handle to a position fully engaged and ready for blade attachment, surgery and in cutting position. The assembly system and method includes exposed visual indicia on the handle that indicates green exposed visual indices upon affirming verification of “time out” criteria and thus triggering the deployment of a fully exposed, engaged, and in a ready for surgery for blade attachment in handle.

Abstract: A qualitative detection system and method for visual verification of the presence of human protein in a biopsy specimen collection bottle is disclosed. The system comprises a lateral flow assay assembly securely contained within the lid of a biopsy specimen collection bottle or secured at the bottom of the bottle. The lateral flow assay assembly comprises components that amplify in color intensity through a chromogenic reaction in the presence of certain proteins. A change in color of the components of the lateral flow assay assembly acts as a visual index to qualitatively confirm the placement of human tissue in the biopsy specimen collection bottle.

Abstract: A surgical scalpel handle with an internal chamber and a removable electromagnetic resonance signal generating cartridge and an electromagnetic resonance sensor system is disclosed. A surgical scalpel handle is provided for with an internal chamber comprised of two pieces, a front piece with a blade holder and a back piece and when attached, the front end section and the back end section together comprise an internal cavity. An electromagnetic resonance signal generating cartridge comprising one or more printed circuit boards (PCB) are in electrical contact upon which an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) are mounted and having a magnet; a coil; and capacitor resonant circuit; an elastic member; a pressure sensitive feature; and having power source connections, and a removable power source having power source contacts; and power source connections complete the electrical contact between the electromagnetic signal generating cartridge and the removable power source housed in the internal cavity.

Abstract: A surgical scalpel handle with illuminator allowing the surgeon to use the illumination to light the surgical field while holding the scalpel handle is disclosed. A surgical scalpel handle with an illuminator comprises a scalpel handle that contains, a structural strut, that serves to attach light emitting diode (LED) cartridge with the strut terminating into a bayonet fitting attachment for the blade element; and a light emitting diode (LED) cartridge with a series of light emitting diodes embedded in the cartridge. The LED cartridge is attached to the scalpel handle by sliding the bayonet fitting of the strut through the central axis of the light emitting diode cartridge and then by screwing LED cartridge onto the strut in order to attach to scalpel handle and expose at least a part of the LED cartridge.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for determining, defining and quantifiably measuring the influence of a physician on patient consumerism, and converting each unit of physician influence into a measurable dollar amount per unit sales and consequently optimizing profitability on non-prescription non-medically necessary products and services. This is novel system and method, as well in the literature as in the patent database. The invention answers the question: “If a physician puts “x” amount of effort to sell products to their patients, then physician will increase per unit sales price by “y” amount and consequently optimize profitability. The system and method contained herein includes a database that utilizes a server and a mobile application to input real time market metrics to dynamically measure physician influence on their patients in terms of their patients' consumerism and purchasing behavior.

Abstract: A personal health record is maintained by receiving a document having information thereon corresponding to the purchase of healthcare. The document is transmitted to a server by generating an identification code associated with a personal health record stored at the server and affixing it to the transmitted document. The transmitted document is stored as part of the personal health record. Relevant data is extracted from the document and used to populate the personal health record for updating.
