A liposuction cannula with abrading suction apertures and a method of using a cannula with abrading suction apertures are disclosed. The liposuction cannula comprises: a hand-holdable housing having a cavity; a cannular tube having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end of the cannular tube being insertable within the cavity; and a plurality of abrading suction apertures about the cannular tube distal end. The abrading suction apertures can be arranged in a variety of configurations, for example, axially about the distal end of the cannular tube, radially about the distal end of the cannular tube or angularly about the distal end of the cannular tube. The abrading suction apertures include a hole, and an abrading member which may be a raised leading edge, a depressed trailing edge, or both a raised leading edge and a depressed trailing edge.

A peristaltic pump system includes elastomeric pump tubing and a roller pump. The pump tubing has a pumping segment and an inlet segment. The inlet segment has an inlet segment outer diameter. The pumping segment has a pumping segment outer diameter less than the inlet segment outer diameter. The roller pump has a roller assembly and a roller assembly housing. The roller assembly is disposed within the roller assembly housing and engaged with the pumping segment within the roller assembly housing. The roller assembly housing has an inlet gap formed through the roller assembly housing. The inlet gap defines an inlet gap inner diameter smaller than the pumping segment outer diameter. The inlet gap is adapted to frictionally receive the inlet segment for aligning the pump tubing with a roller assembly and mitigate longitudinal movement of the pump tubing into the roller assembly housing.

A method for remotely determining a patient's excessive bleeding tendency and a patient's resistance to blood thinning medication is disclosed. An incision is made in the patient's forearm. Blood oozing out of the incision is absorbed into a blotter paper until the bleeding stops. Blotches of blood formed on the blotter paper are captured as an image and sent to a service provider who calculates a value associated with the bleeding volume of the patient. The service provider retransmits a value associated with the bleeding volume back to the medical professional. To determine the resistance to blood thinning medication, one incision is made in the patient prior to administration of blood thinning medication. Blood oozing out of the incision is collected on blotter paper until the patient stops bleeding. A second incision is made in the patient. A second set of blotter paper is used to collect the blood oozing out of the incision until the bleeding stops. Both sets of blotter paper are sent to a service provider to calculate a value associated with the difference in bleeding volume. The service provider then retransmits the value associated with the difference in bleeding volume to the medical professional.

A surgical support for positioning a patient's lateral thighs during liposuction thereof. The support comprises an elongate pillow positionable between the thighs of the patient such that a respective one of the patient's lateral thighs is maintained in an upwardly-oriented position and abducted from the patients body such that the greater trochanter of the femur of such abducted leg is rotated interiorally and medially to such a degree that pseudobulging of the greater trochanter is eliminated or substantially minimized. The pillow preferably includes a tapered proximal end oriented to be positioned towards the crotch of the patient and a gradually upwardly-extending distal end that defines a top support surface upon which the lateral thigh is intra-operatively positioned. The support further is provide with a passageway formed therewithin and pillow along the length thereof to accommodate the respective other leg of the patient so that the patient may assume the lateral decubitus position while approximating the anatomic position.

An infiltration cannula and method of using the infiltration cannula during an infiltration procedure are disclosed herein. The infiltration cannula includes: a tubular needle and a hub. The tubular needle has a proximal end and a distal end. The tubular needle also has a plurality of apertures disposed in a pattern about the distal end. The apertures are configured to infiltrate fluid into the subcutaneous tissue of a patient. The hub is configured to be held by a person performing the infiltration procedure. The hub has a first end and an opposing second end. The first end is attached to the proximal end of the tubular needle and the second end includes a connector configured to connect to an input source for receiving the fluid to be infiltrated into the subcutaneous tissue of the patient. The fluid flows from the connector, through the hub and into the tubular needle.

A skin applique protector protects a selected area of a user's skin from harmful effects of overexposure to ultraviolet light. The skin applique protector has a sheet of flexible material, a first layer of adhesive formed upon a first surface of the sheet of flexible material, and a second layer of adhesive formed upon a second surface of the sheet of flexible material. A first sheet of peel-away material generally covers the first layer of adhesive and a second sheet of peel-away material generally covers the second layer of adhesive material. Either the sheet of flexible material or the first layer of adhesive contains an ultraviolet light blocking material. Application of the sheet of flexible material to the selected area of the user's skin inhibits overexposure of the user's skin to harmful ultraviolet light.

An infiltration cannula and method of using the infiltration cannula during a tumescent infiltration procedure are disclosed herein. The infiltration cannula may have an outwardly flaring hub which may be wedged into an adit of a patient to minimize leakage of fluid being infiltrated into the patient. Also, the infiltration cannula may be utilized to hydrate a dehydrated patient by a medically untrained person. The infiltration cannula may also be used to deliver an antibiotic/vasoconstrictive drug solution to minimize surgical site infections.

A method for accelerating subcutaneous absorption of a fluid or drug into the systemic circulation of a specific targeted tissue. A first drug operative to produce local capillary vasodilatation and/or increase the rate of bulk flow of solution through the interstitial space is mixed with a fluid. The fluid may contain a crystalloid solution or a dilute solution of a pharmacologic drug required for a routine or emergency therapeutic treatment for a patient. The first drug is substantially non-toxic to the patient. The fluid mixed with the first drug is then delivered subcutaneously or into deeper tissues of the patient, by use of a hyperdermic needle or infiltration cannula. As the capillaries are dilated, the fluid is efficiently absorbed and circulated systemically.

The various embodiments of the present invention relate to remote pneumatic (bellows-action) actuators for switching applications, which are preferably sterile and/or disposable. When compressed, the bellows-action actuator provides a pulse of air pressure sufficient to actuate a remotely-located pneumatic switch configured to turn on/off an electrical, mechanical or optical device. The pulse of air pressure is propagated along a non-conducting tube, thereby substantially reducing the risk of e.g., electric shock or Oignition/combustion associated with conventional electric switches in wet, hazardous or medical environments.
