A delivery system for selectively holding and deploying each end of an endoprosthesis includes a spindle having a spindle body. The spindle further includes proximal spindle pins and distal spindle pins extending radially outward from the spindle body. The delivery system further comprises a sleeve and a middle member sleeve. The endoprosthesis includes proximal spindle pin catches and distal spindle pin catches at proximal and distal ends of the endoprosthesis. The distal spindle pins extend into the proximal spindle pin catches and the sleeve radially constrains the proximal end of the endoprosthesis. The proximal spindle pins extend into the distal spindle pin catches and the middle member sleeve radially constrains the distal end of the endoprosthesis. Spindle pins may be omitted at one or both ends of the endoprosthesis, in some configurations.

Laparoscopic specimen extraction port

A laparoscopic surgical extraction port (LSEP) includes a port having a radially-enlarged distal end. A sheath having a plurality of circumferentially-spaced prongs is slidingly mounted onto the port. With the prongs contracted radially-inwardly and the LSEP in its contracted position, a surgeon inserts the LSEP into a patient's abdominal cavity through an incision. The surgeon then expands the LSEP by pulling the port rearwardly such that the radially-enlarged distal end expands the prongs radially-outwardly. The surgeon then positions a specimen and endo-bag in the funnel formed by the expanded prongs. The specimen, endo-bag, and prongs are thereafter simultaneously extracted through the incision. A radially-inward force that is applied to the prongs by the incision substantially prevents the specimen from bunching or rupturing during the extraction process.

Stent-Graft With Anchoring Pins

ActiveUS20080114443A1Proximal anchor stent ring is facilitatedSmooth and easy retractionStentsBlood vesselsStent graftingProsthesis
A proximal anchor stent ring of an endoprosthesis includes proximal apexes, distal apexes, struts extending between the proximal apexes and the distal apexes, and anchor pins. The struts, the proximal apexes, and the distal apexes define an imaginary cylindrical surface. A pair of the anchor pins is located on the struts adjacent each of the proximal apexes, the anchor pins extending inwards from inside surfaces of the struts and protruding from the struts radially outward from the cylindrical surface. By locating the anchor pins inwards, the delivery profile of the proximal anchor stent ring is minimized.

Disposable incontinence napkin for men

The disposable incontinence napkin for men is an elongated sanitary napkin having a liquid permeable top layer that faces the pubic area in use, a liquid impermeable bottom layer that faces the undergarment in use, and an absorbent middle layer disposed between the top and bottom layers for absorbing urine. The sanitary napkin has an anterior portion that overlies the base of the penis and upper pubic area, a posterior portion that overlies the scrotum, and a medial portion extending between the anterior and posterior portions. A posterior shield of liquid impermeable material covers the posterior portion of the top layer, and a soft layer of cotton is disposed over the posterior shield. Adhesive strips disposed on the bottom layer adhere the sanitary napkin to the undergarment and prevent bunching of the napkin.

Adjustable fully upholstered chaise lounger

An adjustable fully upholstered chaise recliner is provided. The chaise comprises a stationary outer frame coupled to a platform. The platform is configured to move between a first position and a second position while the outer frame remains stationary. A cushion is coupled to the platform and is fully upholstered to the platform such that a cover material encloses the cushion and the platform. Movement of the platform causes one or more bending portions of the cushion to bend. The chaise further comprises one or more cords, each extending through the cushion with a first end coupled to the cover material and a second end coupled to the platform. The cords are configured to pull on the cover material such that movement of the platform from the first position to the second position does not result in bunching of the cover material near the bending portions of the cushion.

Window Covering and Method of Making the Same

A window covering includes rings attached to window covering material at predetermined positions and loops attached to a liner at predetermined positions such that each loop is positioned between two of the rings. Each of the loops is formed by a filament that passes through a liner at two spaced apart points, the filament having an anchor such that the loops are positioned between an inner side of the liner and a rear side of the window covering material and the anchor is positioned on an outer side of the liner. Lift cords extend from a first rail and pass through the rings and the loops. The liner and the window covering material are attached together to enclose the lift cords between the liner and the window covering material. The window covering material and liner are moveable relative to the first rail to retracted and extended positions.

Method and apparatus for fitting grips

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for fitting grips to hand-held equipment, such as sporting equipment, for example cricket bats, by sliding a grip over the hand-held equipment. The apparatus comprises means that carries a tubular grip over a handle. The carrying means is adapted to fit between the handle and the grip to reduce friction between the handle and grip and thereby enable the grip to slide over the handle. The method of the present invention involves positioning the carrying means inside a grip, sliding the carrying means over the handle to slide the grip over the handle and removing the carrying means from between the grip and the handle.

Cleansing receptacle

Embodiments of the invention relate to providing a cleansing article. The cleansing article generally includes one or more of a receptacle, a container, one or more segments, a material piece, and one or more of a solid cleanser and a liquid cleanser. The receptacle, the container, the one or more segments, and the material piece are each generally formed of an open cell material. In certain embodiments, the receptacle is used with the one or more segments to increase the activating area of the receptacle. As such, more soapy lather can be created via the one or more solid cleanser and liquid cleanser in comparison to solely using the receptacle. In certain embodiments, the one or more segments are held within the receptacle via the container or via the material piece. As such, the segments being held in such fashion collectively serve as a temporary reservoir for soapy lather created. However, since the receptacle, the container, the one or more segments, and the material piece are each generally formed of an open cell material, the cleansing article enables a user to rinse out the cleansing article without retaining moisture and / or cleansing materials.
