Disclosed herein are several embodiments of a negative pressure appliance and methods of using the same in the treatment of wounds. Some embodiments are directed to improved fluidic connectors or suction adapters for connecting to a wound site, for example using softer, kink-free conformable suction adapters.

Apparatuses and methods for negative pressure wound therapy

Apparatuses and methods disclosed herein relate to various embodiments of wound fillers that, in some cases, preferentially collapse in one direction as compared to another direction. Such apparatuses and methods may aid in the closure of wounds and may further be used in combination with pressure sensors and controllers to provide for controlled collapse of the wound fillers.

Compressible wound fillers and systems and methods of use in treating wounds with negative pressure

Examples of a negative pressure wound closure system and methods for using such a system are presented. Certain embodiments facilitate closure of the wound by preferentially contracting to provide for movement of the tissue. Certain embodiments can utilize tissue securing portions that aid in securing the system within a wound.

Negative pressure wound closure device

The present invention relates to a negative pressure wound closure system and methods for using such a system. Preferred embodiments of the invention facilitate closure of the wound by preferentially contracting to provide for movement of the tissue. Preferred embodiments can utilize tissue securing portions that aid in securing the invention within a wound.

The present invention relates to a negative pressure wound closure system and methods for using such a system. Preferred embodiments of the invention facilitate closure of the wound by preferentially contracting to provide for movement of the tissue. Preferred embodiments can utilize tissue grasping elements to apply a wound closing force to the tissue.

A wireless hot shaving cream dispenser is provided. The dispenser includes a nozzle extending from a housing for dispensing a foam output. A flow path extends within the housing from a soap solution reservoir to the nozzle. A disrupter on the flow path downstream from the reservoir has a convoluted surface on the flow path to form a foam from soap solution flowing along the flow path. A heating assembly heats the dispenser to provide heat to the foam on the flow path, and a pump pumps soap solution from the reservoir through the disrupter to the nozzle along the flow path. A method of producing a hot shaving cream lather using the dispenser is provided.

Wireless hot shaving cream dispenser

A router power tool including a housing mounted to be moveable with respect to and spaced from a base, said housing including a motor to rotate a shaft which includes, at its free end, a tool holder for a cutting tool, said shaft extending from the housing such that the tool holder is located at or adjacent to the base and said housing is connected to the base by at least one extendable assembly. The power tool is selectively locatable with a guide plate via retaining means. The guide plate includes apertures for the receipt of retaining means to allow the power tool to be engaged therewith and datum tabs to contact with the power tool to ensure the accurate location of the power tool with the guide plate when held in position by the retaining means.

Improvements to router apparatus

An apparatus and method are disclosed for providing a fluid communication path to a wound site through a drape. The apparatus comprises a body portion having a lower surface and an upper surface, at least one connection port, at least one suction port and at least one fluid communication passageway between the connection port and the suction port. A connector at an end of at least one tubular conduit is locatable through the drape into an orifice in the connection port to thereby provide a fluid communication path through the drape between the tubular conduit and the wound site.

Fluid communication path

A power tool including a housing mounted to be moveable with respect to, and spaced from, a base, said housing including a motor to rotate a shaft which includes, at its free end, a tool holder for a tool, said shaft extending from the housing such that the tool holder is located at or adjacent to the base and can pass through an aperture in said base, said housing connected to the base by one or more support assemblies, and a sleeve provided to be positioned on the base and form therein an area in which the said tool and aperture in the base are located when performing work on a workpiece. Dust extraction apparatus can be connected and the base can be selectively provided with guide means and also includes attachment means to allow the power tool to be selectively located with a worksurface or a guide plate.
