20100236551 | GAS FLOW REVERSING ELEMENT - A gas flow reversing element is provided comprising a main piece defining at least one closable outlet opening, a branching piece extending from the main piece, a line connector connected to the distal end of the branching piece, a pressure connector connected to the main piece, the pressure connector being structured to be fluidly connected to a pressurized gas supply; and a nozzle being configured and arranged in the main piece in such a way that a gas flow flowing in the main piece from the pressure connector through the nozzle to the at least one outlet opening, with the at least one outlet opening being disposed in the second open position, a gas flow can also be generated in the branching piece in a direction toward the at least one outlet opening. | 09-23-2010 |
20100229863 | JET VENTILATION CATHETER, IN PARTICULAR FOR VENTILATING A PATIENT - The present invention relates to a catheter for ventilating a patient, with a ventilation channel for alternately delivering and removing air and/or oxygen to and from the patient's airways, the catheter having a maximum external diameter of at most 6 mm, mm, and the ventilation channel having an open end, and a connector end for connection to a gas flow reversing element. According to the invention, the catheter is provided with means or elements for measuring the pressure outside the ventilation channel near the open end. The catheter preferably has a pressure measurement channel, with an open measurement end near the open end of the ventilation channel, and a measurement connector piece for connecting a pressure display device. Of particular advantage is a catheter with an expansion body (cuff) that is fluidically connected to a supply channel through which the expansion body can be increased or reduced in size by means of a fluid. The jet ventilation catheter according to the invention permits a novel ventilation principle that can be regarded as a bridge between classical jet ventilation and conventional controlled ventilation and that opens up possibilities for new and improved interventions in the airways. | 09-16-2010 |
20100003326 | DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE COMPRISING A PHARMACEUTICALLY OR BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPONENT AND AN INFRARED ABSORBING COMPOUND - The present invention relates to a drug delivery device for implantation in a mammalian body comprising a thermo-sensitive polymeric material, a pharmaceutically or biologically active component and an infrared absorbing compound. The present invention also relates to a method for releasing an active compound from a drug delivery device, the drug delivery device comprising a thermo-sensitive polymeric material, a pharmaceutically or biologically active component and an infrared absorbing compound, wherein the drug delivery device is exposed to infrared irradiation thereby crossing a phase transition. | 01-07-2010 |
