Apparatus comprising: a sleeve adapted to be slid over the exterior of an endoscope; an aft balloon secured to the sleeve; an inflation/deflation tube carried by the sleeve and in fluid communication with the interior of the aft balloon; a pair of hollow push tubes slidably mounted to the sleeve, the pair of hollow push tubes being connected to one another at their distal ends with a raised push tube bridge, the raised push tube bridge being configured to nest an endoscope therein; and a fore balloon secured to the distal ends of the pair of hollow push tubes, the interior of the fore balloon being in fluid communication with the interiors of the pair of hollow push tubes, wherein the fore balloon is capable of assuming a deflated condition and an inflated condition, and further wherein (i) when the fore balloon is in its deflated condition, an axial opening extends therethrough, the axial opening being sized to receive the endoscope therein, and (ii) when the fore balloon is in its inflated condition, the axial opening is closed down.

The present invention provides a loading fixture for loading cells, cell clusters, and media to an immune-isolation device. The loading fixture permits the loading of cells into the immune-isolation device without manual manipulation of the immune-isolation device, until the loading device is opened at the point of use, thereby minimizing the risk of contamination of the immune-isolation device.

A toy is formed of an elongated, resilient tube with an elongated leather thong-like strip passing through the tube and extending outwardly of the ends of the tube. A knot is formed at one end of the strip to abut the adjacent tube end and to form a stop. The end portion of the strip that extends from the knot is bent back into the inner tube to provide a double thickness strip within a portion of the length of the inner tube. An outer tube formed of a fur-like material, formed of an inner cloth-like sheet with outwardly extending fibers, covers the inner tube. The elongated opposite end of the strip extends outwardly of the inner and outer tubes a considerable distance. The toy is resiliently bendable and compressible, with the amount of compression limited by the contact between the inner tube and the strip so that the portion of the tube which has the double thickness strip within its comprsses to a lesser double thickness strip within it compresses to a lesser amount than the remainder of the tube.

An animal play and exercise structure designed to provide exercise, activity, and enjoyment indoors, particularly for a cat, while occupying a minimum amount of space. The structure includes two rigid vertically aligned frames. Each frame has four vertical supports and the supports have apertures therethrough. Side rods and ladder rods are inserted into the apertures interconnecting the supports to form each of the frames. Ramps are tied to the rods in an inclined manner by leather thongs. Platforms are also secured to the rods and the ramps provide the cat with access to the platforms. In the preferred embodiment, a decorative roof is attached onto the top frame.
