A cryosurgery device includes an aerosol container holding a liquid refrigerant and having a valve and a stem extending out therefrom; an actuator seated on the stem and including an outlet tube for receiving released refrigerant from the container; a hub mounted on the container and including slots therein; and a base having a central opening for receiving the hub, the base including aligning projections that enter the slots in the hub to engage and apply pressure to the actuator to cause the actuator to depress the stem and release refrigerant into the base. The container may further contain an applicator tube mounted to the hub in fluid communication with the outlet tube with a porous tip mounted to a distal end of the applicator tube for receiving the refrigerant and, being chilled thereby, applied to a skin lesion to be treated.

A cryosurgery device for dispensing a liquid refrigerant from a container having a valve stem extending outwardly therefrom. The device includes an actuator adapted to seat on the valve stem of the container in order to depress the valve stem to release the refrigerant from the container. The actuator includes an inner passageway having opposed ends disposed therein, one of the ends of the passageway being in fluid communication with the valve stem. An applicator tube is mounted to the actuator at the other end of the inner passageway. A cap is disposed on the top of the container. The actuator is movably positioned on the cap and a shield is attached to the cap to completely receiving the applicator tube. Liquid refrigerant can only be dispensed when the actuator is positioned properly and the applicator tube is disposed within the shield means.

The present invention provides an orientation independent apparatus for applying a uniform coating of a dental powder as well as a method of operating the orientation independent apparatus. The present invention can be used in the preparation of a replica tooth during restorative dental work. Included in the present invention is an orientation independent dental powder applicator with a powder reservoir having an introductory circumferential plenum chamber, inner circumferential chamber and outer circumferential plenum chamber. Desiccated pressurized air enters the powder reservoir from a desiccant chamber and fluidizes dental powder located in either the inner circumferential chamber or outer circumferential plenum chamber. The powder reservoir is designed to allow pressurized air to flow around the entire perimeter of either the inner circumferential chamber or outer circumferential plenum chamber. The fluidized dental powder then travels into an acceleration chamber and ultimately through an applicator tube directed at a dental site.

Devices and methods for the repair of the functioning of heart valves are provided. A device may comprise a ventricular winding having a generally spiral shape, wherein the device is free of any atrial stabilizing section. A method involves positioning the device such that chords associated with the heart valve are positioned within the path of the generally spiral shape of the ventricular winding and turning the ventricular winding such that the chords move closer to the center of the ventricular winding. The ventricular winding draws the chords closer together, thereby pulling the valve leaflets closer together in order to facilitate their coaptation and proper closing. A delivery system for maneuvering and releasing a heart valve repair device comprises an applicator tube and internal rod.

An applicator bottle allows the reconstitution and dispensing of a re-hydrated powdered product. The bottle has a dispenser apparatus detachably mounted on the dispensing end and a spring-loaded plunger apparatus detachably mounted on the distal end with a movable disk defining the distal end of the internal cavity within the bottle. The plunger apparatus includes a telescoping plunger spring-loaded to extend toward the dispensing end and a locking mechanism that will restrain the plunger apparatus in a compressed configuration until released through an external release button. A rotatable, hand-operated mixing apparatus can be mounted on either end of the bottle to provide an aggressive mixing action when needed. The plunger apparatus exerts a mechanical pressure on the reconstituted product to force the product out of the dispenser apparatus for utilization. Clean-up is facilitated by the ability to disassemble the bottle and the apparatus attached thereto.

A packaging and applicator unit for a product including a container having lengthwise axis X, with the container capable of holding the product. The container is provided at a first end with an aperture intended to dispense the product, with the aperture closed in a reversible manner by a closure element. At a second end opposite the first, one or more rotatable skin massaging elements are mounted.

An imaging system, including a capsule, configured to enter an esophagus of a patient, having an ultrasonic transducer configured to image tissue of the patient. The system further includes an applicator tube configured to enter the esophagus, the tube being attachable to the capsule for positioning the capsule within the esophagus, and being detachable from the capsule after positioning of the capsule so as to permit the tube to be withdrawn from the esophagus while the capsule remains in position in the esophagus.

An applicator for spraying hair building solids is configured for one-handed operation and includes an applicator body which is connectable with a container including hair building solids. The applicator body includes a top part, a bottom part and a main part extending between the top part and the bottom part; an air pump electrically configured for creating an air flow; and a nozzle for spraying hair building solids out from the applicator. The bottom part includes an attachment structure for attaching the container to the applicator body, a first orifice in flow connection with the air pump for delivering air flow from the air pump via the bottom part and a second orifice in flow connection with the nozzle for delivering hair building solids via the bottom part to the nozzle.
