A system for providing optimal access in a vascular environment is provided that includes a first lumen operable to be used in a procedure involving a vessel of a patient and a second lumen operable to be inserted in conjunction with the first lumen in the procedure. A first wire is provided and inserted in the first lumen and positioned in a first direction. A second wire is provided and used in the second lumen and positioned in an opposite direction, which is not the same as the first direction. In a more particular embodiment, the above-identified system may include a dilator operable to dilate the vessel in conjunction with the procedure and a sheath operable to deliver the first and second lumens for the procedure.

An apparatus for delivering fluid, or power syringe, comprises a base, a lever, and a syringe. The syringe has a reservoir adapted for holding a quantity of fluid and a plunger disposed within the reservoir and adapted for movement therein. The reservoir features a clip on one end which releasably secures the end of the reservoir to the base and an inwardly facing annular flange on the second end which substantially prevents the plunger from being removed from the reservoir and substantially prevents leakage. The base of the apparatus features an extension beyond the end of the reservoir containing the clip, thereby providing stability to the apparatus during operation. The plunger features a clip on one end which releasably secures the plunger to the lever.

An apparatus is provided that includes a graft for coupling two vascular conduits within a patient. The graft includes: 1) an anchor system that forms an arc at one end of the conduits; and 2) a body element coupled to the anchor system. The anchor system comprises a biodegradable stent. In particular embodiments, portions of the graft are either self-expandable or balloon-expandable. In still other embodiments, anchor system includes NITINOL and the anchor system is substantially self-sealing at one end of the conduits. In one embodiment, the body element comprises polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (EPTFE). In yet other embodiments, the body element includes either a gelatinous or an elastomeric coating disposed on its surface.

Sodium hypochlorite-based compositions that are non-toxic and have antimicrobial and cleansing properties may include from about 0.025% to about 10% by weight of sodium hypochlorite. For example, the compositions may include less than 1% by weight of sodium hypochlorite (e.g., less than 0.5% by weight of sodium hypochlorite). The compositions may further include sodium laureth sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamide MEA, disodium EDTA, and deionized water. Such compositions may be applied externally to a mammalian body through rinse-off or leave-on applications. Compositions also may be incorporated as a component of other products, such as deodorants, towelettes, or powders.

A power syringe (10) for use in medical procedures, such as angiography, delivers air or fluid, such as contrast medium, to a patient at operator controlled rates and pressures. In one embodiment, mechanical advantage is created by first and second arms (22, 26) which are interconnected with each other, the base, and the plunger (20). The proximal end of the syringe contains a track (44) that the plunger follows in normal fashion in and out of the reservoir. The track is bevelled from proximal to distal end to create a path with variable resistance. A mechanical stop (42) is at the proximal end of the track to control the length of travel of plunger and secondary mechanical arm. Markings (18) on reservoir (12) indicate the volume of fluid or air in the reservoir. Mechanical arm length, tracking length, and distance to plunger stop will vary with size of syringe to generate appropriate flow and power.
