Limb Supporting Device For Arthroscopic Surgery
US Patent:
5027799, Jul 2, 1991
Filed:
Oct 18, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/598651
Inventors:
Joseph P. Laico - New City NY
Joseph L. Molino - Valley Cottage NY
Joseph L. Molino - Valley Cottage NY
Assignee:
Lincoln Mills, Inc. - New City NY
International Classification:
A61H 102, A61F 510
US Classification:
128 75
Abstract:
A limb holding device designed to be attached to an operating table to immobilize a patient's arm or leg during arthroscopic surgery or the like. It provides for distraction of the hip joint or other joint being worked on, and also provides for reduction and maintenance of position of fractures of the arm or leg. The device includes a pair of vertical upright supports braced by an adjustable connecting bar, and a fork-like member has a canvas or plastic cradle stretched between its two tines, a plurality of straps to immobilize the patient's limb on the cradle, a padded shoe-like or plate-like device to hold the foot firmly, and a handle means to facilitate manipulation of the limb and to place the proper traction forces thereon. A tensiometer is integrated into the fork-like member to allow direct and accurate indication of the traction force being-placed on the limb. Once the desired position of the limb and joint is achieved, the various adjustable clamps and stop nuts may be secured to lock the device in that position during surgery.
Kits And Methods For Determining The Effectiveness Of Sterilization Of Disinfection Processes
US Patent:
7183048, Feb 27, 2007
Filed:
Sep 16, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/244895
Inventors:
Ira C. Felkner - West Palm Beach FL, US
Joseph P. Laico - New City NY, US
Joseph P. Laico - New City NY, US
Assignee:
ICF Technologies, Inc. - New City NY
International Classification:
C12Q 1/00, C12Q 1/02, C12Q 1/22
US Classification:
435 4, 435 29, 435 31
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods and kits and methods for assessing the effectiveness of a sterilization process by determining the release of dipicolinic acid (DPA) from bacterial or other spores that contain DPA. A biological indicator containing a spore may be included together with articles being sterilized, and an assay of DPA released from the spore can be performed moments after the sterilization process is completed, or during the process. The kits and methods thus provide a rapid and reliable method of assessing the effectiveness of a sterilization process and, consequently, assure the sterility of article subjected to the same process.
Method, Composition, And Articles For Improving Joint Lubrication
US Patent:
2012030, Dec 6, 2012
Filed:
Jun 4, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/487470
Inventors:
Joseph P. Laico - New City NY, US
Assignee:
MAGUIRE ABBEY, LLC - Wilmington DE

US Classification:
424 7838, 528354, 428402
Abstract:
Articles for increasing lubrication of a joint are described herein. The articles include resorbable, biocompatible particles having a glass transition temperature within a joint of less than about 37° C. and capable of increasing fluid movement within the joint compared to synovial fluid, viscosupplemental fluid, or combinations thereof. A composition for increasing lubrication of a joint is also disclosed. The composition includes the resorbable, biocompatible particles and a carrier fluid. Methods of lubricating a joint and treating disease affecting the joint such as osteoarthritis are also described herein. The methods include introducing the resorbable, biocompatible particles into a joint.
Protective Cover For Hypodermic Needle
US Patent:
4892521, Jan 9, 1990
Filed:
Aug 3, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/227756
Inventors:
Joseph P. Laico - New City NY
Joseph L. Molino - Valley Cottage NY
Joseph L. Molino - Valley Cottage NY
Assignee:
Lincoln Mills, Inc. - New City NY
International Classification:
A61M 532
US Classification:
604192
Abstract:
A protective cover for a hypodermic needle employs a pair of guide rods for guiding a protective cap from a retracted position to an extended protective position for shielding the hypodermic needle. A guide member projects transversely from the needle base and forms a pair of apertures which receive and interact with the guide rods. The guide rods are fixed to a protective cap portion of the cover. A guide rod mechanism is also employed in connection with a retractable, foldable sheath embodiment. The protective cover assembly may also take the form of telescopic shield sections which lock in the extended protective position by means of a cooperative projection/groove locking engagement.
