Abstract: A driving apparatus for delivering a catheter guide wire includes a first driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism and a third driving mechanism. In the initial delivery stage, a catheter between the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism is in a bent state; during the first stage of delivery, the first driving mechanism delivers the catheter and a guide wire together, and in the continuous delivery process, the bending degree of the catheter between the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism gradually decreases; during the second stage of delivery, a detection mechanism detects whether the catheter between the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism is straightened, and if so, the third driving mechanism drives the second driving mechanism to move in the delivery direction of the catheter and the guide wire.

Abstract: A delivery apparatus for elongated medical instruments includes a first driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism, and a third driving mechanism. A rotating and delivering assembly configured to clamp a medical instrument is not arranged on the second driving mechanism, whereas a third rotating and delivering assembly is arranged on the third driving mechanism. Under different intervention modes, the third rotating and delivering assembly may be configured to clamp, rotate and deliver a third medical instrument, or the third rotating and delivering assembly, upon manipulating the third medical instrument, clamp, rotates and delivers a fourth medical instrument. A third delivering assembly is configured to clamp the third medical instrument when the third rotating and delivering assembly manipulates the fourth medical instrument, such that the volume and weight of the entire slave-end apparatus are reduced and the costs are lowered.

Abstract: A storage and dispensing system of orthodontic brackets includes a package with an orthodontic bracket. The package has a base and a cap. The base has a post on which the orthodontic bracket is secured. The cap includes a blind bore. The cap surrounds the post and the orthodontic bracket. The cap and the base are configured to form a moisture tight seal therebetween. The orthodontic bracket may be a precoated orthodontic bracket. The base or the cap includes an o-ring. The package is releasably secured to a strip and the strip includes an RFID tag. The package is releasably secured to a strip. The strip includes an RFID tag. A method of manufacturing orthodontic brackets includes placing a predetermined amount of adhesive on an orthodontic bracket, positioning the precoated orthodontic bracket on the base, and placing the cap over the precoated orthodontic bracket and into contact with the base.
