International Classification:

A61B 17/04

US Classification:

606145

Abstract:

A vascular closure system includes a body portion, an anchor, a suture carrying portion, and a plurality of needles. The body portion has a distal end surface. The anchor is positionable through a vessel puncture in a vessel wall of a vessel. The anchor defines a vessel contact surface, wherein withdrawal of the anchor captures a portion of the vessel wall between the vessel contact surface and the distal end surface. The suture carrying portion is positionable through the vessel puncture and carries at least one suture member. The plurality of needles extend through the portion of the vessel wall adjacent to the vessel puncture and are configured to connect to the at least one suture member. Withdrawal of the plurality of needles through the portion of the vessel wall positions the at least one suture member through the portion of the vessel wall.

US Classification:

600365

Abstract:

The present embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a host. More particularly, the present embodiments provide sensor applicators and methods of use with pushbutton activation that implant the sensor, withdraw the insertion needle, engage the transmitter with the housing, and disengage the applicator from the housing, all in one smooth motion. Some embodiments contemplate engagement of the transmitter with the housing after release of the applicator.

Appl. No.:

11/447185

Inventors:

Jason M. Halac - Lake Forest CA, US

International Classification:

E05B 9/00

US Classification:

292337

Abstract:

An adjustable-backset deadbolt lock with a dual-adjustment capability including a simple push-and-twist operation to adjust the relief of the outer casing, as well as a second adjustment capability for adjusting the deadbolt travel. The deadbolt lock generally comprises a latch case defined by opposing walls having an aperture there through, and a guide tab projecting forwardly from the latch case. An annular frontal casing is inserted onto the latch case and receives the guide tab in a track. The frontal casing remains rotatable on the latch case, the track engaging the guide tab during rotation to extend or retract the frontal casing. The track includes two stop positions so that the frontal casing may be adjusted by an indexed push-and-twist adjustment between two positions relative to the latch case as indexed by the stop positions. The lock also includes a deadbolt with adjustable travel via a two-part bolt cam that is turned to extend/retract the bolt extension and deadbolt. The dual-adjustment effectively transforms a backset 2⅜″ (60 mm) into one of backset 2″ (70 mm), or vice versa, by two simple push-and-twist operations: one to the outer casing and one to the deadbolt.

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
A61B 5/145

Abstract:

The present embodiments relate generally to applicators of on-skin sensor assemblies for measuring an analyte in a host, as well as their method of use and manufacture. In some aspects, an applicator for applying an on-skin sensor assembly to a skin of a host is provided. The applicator includes an applicator housing, a needle carrier assembly comprising an insertion element configured to insert a sensor of the on-skin sensor assembly into the skin of the host, a holder releasably coupled to the needle carrier assembly and configured to guide the on-skin sensor assembly while coupled to the needle carrier assembly, and a drive assembly configured to drive the insertion element from a proximal starting position to a distal insertion position, and from the distal insertion position to a proximal retraction position.

A61B 17/34

Abstract:

Applicators for applying an on-skin assembly to skin of a host and methods of their use and/or manufacture are provided. An applicator includes an insertion assembly configured to insert at least a portion of the on-skin assembly into the skin of the host, a housing configured to house the insertion assembly, the housing comprising an aperture through which the on-skin assembly can pass, an actuation member configured to, upon activation, cause the insertion assembly to insert at least the portion of the on-skin assembly into the skin of the host, and a sealing element configured to provide a sterile barrier and a vapor barrier between an internal environment of the housing and an external environment of the housing.
