Suction Catheter With Retractable Blade

US Patent:
2012010, May 3, 2012
Filed:
Oct 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/915220
Inventors:
JOSEPH T. SOWDER - Pelham AL, US
International Classification:
A61M 27/00, A61B 17/3211
US Classification:
604543, 606167
Abstract:
The present invention in several embodiments is a device comprising a retractable scalpel blade within the barrel of a plastic suction catheter, which can be attached to a wall suction canister found in most exam rooms. The device would facilitate the procedure of abscess drainage by allowing one to incise the abscess with the scalpel blade when it is extended out from the end of the barrel of the suction catheter, then retract the blade into the barrel tip after the appropriate incision is made. Then the blunt tip of the catheter can be used to suction out the abscess contents, as well as break up the loculations within the abscess cavity, and also subsequently suction out saline if it is used for irrigation of the cavity.

Steam Generation Device

US Patent:
2012019, Aug 2, 2012
Filed:
Jan 27, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/014983
Inventors:
Joseph T. Sowder - Indian Springs AL, US
International Classification:
F03G 6/06
US Classification:
6064115
Abstract:
The present invention in several embodiments is an apparatus for producing potable distilled water and solar-thermal energy, as co-products of the generation of steam from sea water by concentrated solar radiation. This apparatus would be comprised of an array an Fresnel lenses of the same or substantially the same focal length which preferably each have an area of approximately 1 square meter, which are oriented in the appropriate 3-dimensional plane in relation to the sun to collect the maximum amount of solar energy over the area of the lens; the lens array would follow or “track” the sun across the horizon in two dimensions. The lens array would focus the collected and concentrated solar radiation in one discrete area of a boiling of several square centimeters, in order to produce steam which is then used to create power and is condensed to provide distilled water.
