  • Publication number: 20240032986
    Abstract: A cautery pen tip accessory cover comprises a cylindrical member that can receive a cautery pen in a first end and the tip of the cautery pen can extend from a second opposite end when the cover is in a retracted configuration. The cylindrical member has an opened lateral exposure that allows the feel of the cautery pen therethrough. A cover exposure opening in the cylindrical member to provide access to a trigger of the cautery pen when the cautery pen tip cover is in the retracted configuration. The cylindrical member is easily retracted, allowing easy retraction of the cover by the operator squeezing the cover to a resistance bar stabilization system accessory configured over the cautery pen. The cover can include a suction device that removes blood and debris as well as the smoke plume to exist in a single instrument.

The cylindrical member has an opened lateral exposure that allows the feel of the cautery pen therethrough. A cover exposure opening in the cylindrical member to provide access to a trigger of the cautery pen when the cautery pen tip cover is in the retracted configuration. A resilient member urges the cautery pen tip cover to the non-retracted configuration where access to the cautery pen trigger is prevented. The cylindrical member is easily retracted by a finger ring configured permanently into the cylindrical member, allowing easy retraction of the cover by the operator squeezing the cover to a resistance bar stabilization system accessory configured over the cautery pen.

  • Patent number: 9474572
    Abstract: A cautery pen cover can cover a cautery pen, with little modification thereto, such that the cover must be retracted to both expose the tip and the trigger of the cautery pen. The cover is designed as a protective sleeve that prevents actuation of the cautery pen trigger until the cover is retracted. The cover automatically returns to the covered position when it is released. The cover is always on the cautery pen, whether in use or just lying on the operating field, thereby not requiring users to place and secure the cautery pen in a plastic holster. The cautery pen use various energy sources, such as electro or radio frequency, or any other source that results in cautery or cutting of tissue.

  • Publication number: 20150126905
    Abstract: A safety sleeve system for syringes and other needle-based devices prevents accidental needle sticks after use of the syringe. The safety sleeve system allows an easy mechanical cover that, once actuated, locks over the exposed needle for safe coverage and disposal, or, in a sterile situation, allows for exposure of a clean needle. The safety sleeve system minimally alters an existing syringe and allows for identical use and function, with only an outer sleeve cover that follows tracks embossed on the exterior of the existing syringe. This sleeve cover can be twisted and locked in an operation position, where the needle extends from the sleeve cover, or in a safety position, where the needle is encased by the sleeve cover.

  • Publication number: 20140083433
    Abstract: A multilevel, inflatable vaginal pessary device is soft, malleable and has a gentle gripping surface to assure retention and proper placement. The pessary device can offer options for pressure, either apically toward the cervix or anteriorly toward the bladder or posteriorly toward the rectum, via an inner silicone elastomeric (such as Silastic® by Dow Corning Corporation) balloon that can variably be filled with air from a syringe attached to a luer lock tip in the balloon. Exposure of the balloon is achieved by the physical opening potential of the fenestrated rings by cutting along guide lines in the pessary sleeve. The physician has multiple options for customizing the device to remedy the patient's prolapse.
