Publication number: 20220401090Abstract: A needle or stylet has a tip contour with a reverse back bevel curved toward the longitudinal axis of the needle or stylet. The needle has a flexible intermediate portion and/or a two-part construction in which a distal portion of the needle to crimped onto a proximal portion of the needle. The needle or a stylet is combined with a spring mechanism in the hub of the needle or stylet assembly. The spring mechanism positions the tip of the needle or stylet in a middle position extending from the distal end of the assembly, allows the needle or stylet to be moved into a spring loaded fully retracted configuration within the assembly as the septal wall is tented, and then releasing the spring loaded needle or stylet as the needle or stylet penetrates the septal wall. A method of using a needle or stylet with a spring mechanism is included.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Applicant: Pressure Products Medical Supplies Inc.Inventors: Paul Kurth, Andrew Armour, Reed Garrett, William Gallo

Publication number: 20210401537Abstract: Apparatus, system, and methods are provided for reducing infectious agents at a sterile site by preventing infectious agents from coming into contact with the sterile site. A barrier is produced for infectious agents that may come in proximity or otherwise communicate with the site. The apparatus is configured to create a void-free barrier in which infectious agents are reduced with minimal exposure of potentially harmful effects of the barrier to the sterile site, objects, or users of the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Applicant: Armour Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Andrew W.
