  • Publication number: 20170143915
    Abstract: A spray device for generating an aerosol of a liquid such as a medicament. The device includes a perforate element comprising one or more nozzles, each nozzle having an inlet and an outlet. A drive mechanism causes, in use, liquid to be driven through the one or more nozzles, thereby forming a liquid spray having one or more streams of liquid. At least one impaction surface is provided onto which, in use, the liquid impacts, the impaction surface being located downstream of the nozzle outlet(s).

  • Patent number: 9421360
    Abstract: A medical device configured to be secured to an individual may include a housing containing one or more electrical components, and one or more leads electrically connected to the housing. Each lead may include an insulating jacket that surrounds a central core including one or more conductors, and at least one pressure-resisting member integrally formed with one or both of the insulating jacket or the central core. The pressure-resisting member is configured to resist one or more forces exerted into the central core. For example, the pressure-resisting member may include one or more of a suture-anchoring member or a lead-strengthening member.

  • Publication number: 20140094889
    Abstract: An implantable therapy lead employs electrical conductors configured to enhance the abrasion resistance of the lead. Specifically, conductors are configured to create a surface contact area with walls of a wall lumen of a tubular body that is greater than would otherwise be possible with traditional conductors that have a circular transverse cross-section. As a result, the abrasion pressure of the conductors against the lumen walls is decreased for the conductors disclosed herein as compared to that of traditional conductors.

  • Publication number: 20130021040
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve an internal pulse generator for administering electrotherapy via an implantable medical lead having a lead connector end on a proximal end of the lead. In addition, implementations involve testing of the medical lead at the proximal lead connector end to ensure proper placement of the lead, and an interface device for facilitating the connection of the proximal lead connector end to a testing device. The interface device may provide for one or more electrical connection points disposed on a connector sleeve. The connection points provide electrical communication between the lead connector end of the lead and one or more leads of a testing device in such a manner as to minimize potential damage to the lead connector end.
