The invention relates to a pump-inflow-cannula () providing a blood conduit from a heart () and/or from an associated vessel to an external blood handling system, said pump-inflow-cannula () comprising a body (), encompassing an inflow-lumen (), extending essentially axially along a center-line (), having a distal-end () for an attachment of the inflow-lumen () to said blood handling system, and having a proximal-end () for an introduction of blood from the heart () and/or from the associated vessel into the inflow-lumen (). At the proximal-end () at least one angled-hole (), extending around a longitudinal hole-axis () is provided, and said hole-axis () includes a presettable hole-angle (α) with the center-line () of the inflow-lumen (), wherein said body () of the pump-inflow-cannula () comprises a reinforcement-means (). The invention is also related to a pump-outflow-cannula () and to a blood managing system comprising a pump-inflow-cannula () and a pump-outflow-cannula () in accordance with the present invention.

The invention is a pocket-sized card holder for keys, coins and/or similar items comprised of a thin card having a depressed region therein for receiving and containing the items and a pressure resealable, at least partially adhesively-coated lid which covers the depressed region and which can be stripped or peeled back to expose the contained items. The holder is preferably of credit card size for convenience in carrying, with overall thickness only fractionally greater than the items contained.

A method of making an elastomer lined composite vessel or portion of such vessel is disclosed. The method comprises causing a thin, tacky ribbon comprising an elastomer (preferably curable) to continuously so encircle a center rotational axis of a mandrel as to adjacently position and tack together integral segments of the ribbon substantially circumferentially relative to this center rotational axis thereby forming a layer of the elastomer about the mandrel; applying a shell comprising filaments and thermosettable resin to the layer of elastomer; curing the thermosettable resin (preferably in stages if the elastomer is curable with a later stage including cure of the elastomer) to provide the vessel or portion of the vessel.

A method of making an elastomer lined composite vessel or portion of such vessel is disclosed. The method comprises causing a thin, tacky ribbon comprising an elastomer (preferably curable) to continuously so encircle a center rotational axis of a madrel as to adjacently position and tack together integral segments of the ribbon substantially circumferentially relative to this center rotational axis thereby forming a layer of the elastomer about the mandrel which may be the shell of the pressure vessel in case of internal application of the insulator or may be a workpiece around which the shell is built over the so-layed ribbon.
