| 20100269549 | HAND RESTRAINT DEVICE - A hand restraint device consisting of a pair of hand restraint mitts which are used for restraining the hands of an individual to prevent them from using their hands in undesired ways. The mitts can be used in conjunction with handcuffs. The mitts can be placed on the individual either before or after the handcuffs are secured to the individual. The mitts are designed to open up on the bottom and one side of the mitt which allows quick and easy placement on the hand of the individual. A cable tie or strap which has been placed through two pockets, one on each side, close to the bottom of the mitt can be quickly and easily pulled to secure the hand within the mitt. Under tension from the tie or strap, the mitt completely encases the hand up to the wrist which prevents the use of the hand or fingers in undesired ways. When the cable tie or strap is pulled to secure the hand, the hand chamber, which the hand is in, bows out under the tension of the strap to create an open pocket for the hand to float inside. This provides a very comfortable open area for the hand and fingers to reside in which allows room for movement within the mitt while still effectively keeping the hand secured. | 10-28-2010 |

| 20100221696 | Apparatus and method for maintaining and/or restoring viability of organs - An organ perfusion apparatus and method monitor, sustain and/or restore viability of organs and preserve organs for storage and/or transport. Other apparatus include an organ transporter, an organ cassette and an organ diagnostic device. The method includes perfusing the organ at hypothermic and/or normothermic temperatures, preferably after hypothermic organ flushing for organ transport and/or storage. The method can be practiced with prior or subsequent static or perfusion hypothermic exposure of the organ. Organ viability is restored by restoring high energy nucleotide (e.g., ATP) levels by perfusing the organ with a medical fluid, such as an oxygenated cross-linked hemoglobin-based bicarbonate medical fluid, at normothermic temperatures. In perfusion, organ perfusion pressure is preferably controlled in response to a sensor disposed in an end of tubing placed in the organ, by a pneumatically pressurized medical fluid reservoir, providing perfusion pressure fine tuning, overpressurization prevention and emergency flow cut-off. In the hypothermic mode, the organ is perfused with a medical fluid, preferably a simple crystalloid solution containing antioxidants, intermittently or in slow continuous flow. The medical fluid may be fed into the organ from an intermediary tank having a low pressure head to avoid organ overpressurization. Preventing overpressurization prevents or reduces damage to vascular endothelial lining and to organ tissue in general. Viability of the organ may be automatically monitored, preferably by monitoring characteristics of the medical fluid perfusate. The perfusion process can be automatically controlled using a control program. | 09-02-2010 |
