An internal compression tourniquet catheter system and method for wound track navigation for controlling hemorrhage from wounds. The preferred embodiments include an inflatable member constructed of thin, flexible, biocompatible, and puncture resistant material such that when deflated it lies flat and can be wrapped around the catheter shaft, which passes within and has a lumen to inflate it, to minimize overall diameter when deflated for insertion into the tissue track created by the wounding agent. The inflatable member is of large potential volume enabling full inflation with near zero internal pressure when unconstrained externally. When positioned within a wound track and inflated, the gas or liquid injected into the balloon lumen creates pressure because its expansion is constrained by the tissues of the wound, and that pressure is transmitted directly to the surrounding tissue of the wound track. The pressure exerted on the tissue can be precisely measured and controlled, automatically if appropriate, such that sufficient pressure is applied to tamponade bleeding, but not damage tissue. Since the balloon is of large potential volume, it can easily expand to fill and compress small, large, and irregular wound tracks and can successfully tamponade wounds that smaller, elastic balloon catheters would be unable to tamponade. The catheter system includes means to assist insertion into the wound track, including a rounded or bulbous exploring tip and an internal stylet. In it non-inflatable embodiments, the my devices are introduced into the wound track and deliver hemorrhage controlling agents or materials which are designed to promote clotting of the wound or to occupy space to assist in tamponade of the bleeding.

A catheter is provided which deters the backflow of blood between the insertion needle and the catheter cannula by forming the distal end of the catheter hub so as to restrict the inner diameter of the catheter cannula to a wiping fit with the engaged insertion needle. In a first embodiment the distal end of the catheter hub is pre-formed to its desired final inner dimension. The distal end of the hub is stretched to an oversize condition, the catheter cannula is attached to the hub, and the distal end of the catheter hub is heated, causing a stress relief of the previously stretched hub. The distal end of the catheter hub returns to its pre-formed dimension which will mechanically restrict the diameter of the catheter cannula at that point to form the wiping fit with the engaged needle. In a second embodiment the inner diameter of the distal end of the catheter hub is reduced by inserting the distal end of the hub between the opposing faces of a swaging press, which close to compress the hub in one direction. The degree of closure is controlled by the dimension of at least one of a pair of orthogonally opposing swaging press surfaces, which then close to compress the hub in the orthogonal direction.

Methods for forming a rib on a cannula for cooperation with a safety cover which securably and reliably locks the tip of a cannula in an interior chamber within the safety cover. The cover comprises an elongate body having the interior chamber and an axial through hole which extends along the entire length of the body, through the interior chamber and through which the cannula is slidably received. Displacing elements are positioned within the interior chamber, each of which includes a hole for receiving the cannula therethrough, and which displaces upon retraction of the tip of the cannula, thereby preventing subsequent advancement of the cannula tip. The cannula includes a thickened rib adjacent to the tip, and the safety cover should correspondingly include an annular section in the rear portion thereof. The through hole extending through the rear portion has a diameter which is smaller than the thickened rib of the cannula whereby the cannula tip may not be retracted from the safety cover. The rib is formed by a thermal method in which a sleeve is heated to expand its inside diameter to allow the sleeve to be slid onto the cannula.

In a preferred embodiment, a multi-level elevated stack of planting containers is mounted to vertical support pole. Each container has a plurality of planting compartments for containing a growing medium. The compartments are at least partially divided from one another by a vertically extending partition for at least partially limiting fluid transfer among the planting compartments within the same container. Each said planting compartments has a fluid drain through which any unabsorbed fluid drains into only a single respective one of the compartments of a container located at a lower of the stack. The drains in the compartments are radially offset from a through hole in each container which receives the support pole and fluid is discharged into radially offset locations of compartments at lower levels to deter fluid bypass between the pole and the through hole.

A catheter device is disclosed which contains a catheter in an insertion needle. The insertion needle is attached to a needle hub which contains a flash chamber. Within the flash chamber the proximal end of the needle is connected to a clear plastic tube so that flash is initially determined in this tube; overflow flash is then caused to flow into the larger flash chamber from the flash tube.

An improved golf putter comprising an el-shaped head, a ball striking face, a shaft connector element, and a shaft. The putter head has an elongated body, a transverse member, and a ball striking face. The shaft connector element, attached to the putter head, has a vertical segment positioned above the transverse member and an angled segment to which the shaft is connected. The shaft and the shaft connector element mask the distracting transverse features of the putter from the golfer's view during use.
