摘要:
A coupling includes a first input port and a photoluminescent portion associated with the first input port. The first input port may be one or more of a gastric port, a jejunal port, or a balloon port. The first port may have a first glow-in-the dark feature and a second port may have a second glow-in-the-dark feature, which may be different from one another. The coupling may include means for orientation that assists a user in properly orienting a connector to be mounted in the first port in proper orientation and a first connector for coupling to the first port.

A molded and undivided medical penetrating device comprises a first portion and a second substantially tubular portion having an outer surface, a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the second substantially tubular portion of the device is joined to and is integral with the first portion of the device and is adapted to be maintained essentially outside a body while the first portion of the device is adapted to be retained within the interior of the body. The device includes an opening that extends through the first and second portions of the device and provides access to the interior of the body from outside the body. The opening and the outer surface of the substantially tubular second portion of the device define a wall that is thinner at the proximal end of the second portion than towards the distal end of the second portion.

An enteral feeding clamp that secures a feeding adapter in relative position to a feeding device. The clamp includes C-shaped members integrally connected by one or more elastic webs. It also includes an elongated elastic band corresponding to each C-shaped member. The band has proximal and distal ends, and is integrally connected to the corresponding C-shaped member at its proximal end. Each of the elongated elastic bands has an enlarged head integrally formed at its distal end. A groove and receptacle are provided on the outer surface of each of the C-shaped members wherein the elastic band can be extended around the feeding adapter or feeding device, be placed in the groove, and have the head placed in the receptacle to secure the clamp in position. A method of using the feeding clamp is also provided.

A tissue expander is disclosed. Extending from the outer surface of the tissue expander are a plurality of projections of specific combinations of height and width dimensions selected from the groups consisting of (1) approximately 750 microns high and approximately 250 microns wide and (2) approximately 1,600 microns high and approximately 800 microns wide. Preferred edge-to-edge spacing distance between adjacent projection and center-to-center spacings between adjacent projections are also disclosed. A method of expanding tissue utilizing the disclosed tissue expander is also disclosed.

A low profile or skin level gastrostomy device for initial endoscopic placement in an incision provided through the stomach and abdominal walls of a patient has a collapsed resilient end portion packaged and compressed within a shroud that allows the end portion of the device positioned within the stomach to easily pass from the inner to the outer end of the incision. The shroud is pulled or pushed outwardly through the incision until the device is properly positioned therein. Subsequent to device placement, the shroud is removed and discarded, allowing the now external end portion of the device to expand to its normal position so as to engage the outer surface of the abdominal wall to maintain the device in position. Such a gastrostomy device package and method of placement avoid the need for establishing a fistulas stoma tract before placement of a low profile gastrostomy device, as is the usual case.

A vessel approximator for use in anastomosis has a pair of opposed arms, each adapted to fit within the end of a vessel segment to be anastomosed. The tips of the arms are tapered to assist in placing an end of a vessel segment onto the arm. A stem extends from the junction of the arms to form a T shape. The stem is substantially thinner than the arms to permit the ends of the vessel segments placed over the arms to be proximate to each other to be sutured together. A ring on the end of the stem allows the device to be sutered in place in the surgical field. A notch at the junction of the arms opposite the stem permits the arms to collapse together when the device is removed from the vessel segments by pulling on the stem.

A handleless surgical stay includes an elastomeric band with a longitudinal body having a first end. The surgical stay further includes a tissue retention member including a tissue engaging portion and an anchor portion. The anchor portion is coupled to the first end of the elastomeric band such that the tissue engaging portion extends outwardly relative to the first end. Substantially all of the elastomeric band can be configured for engagement with a surgical retractor frame such that the stay does not include a handle.
