A patient support apparatus () including a patient support surface () and a repositioning mechanism () for vertically and angularly repositioning the surface (). The apparatus () including sensors () for automatically detecting and inhibiting attempts to vertically reposition the surface () when it is at a particular angular position, and attempts to angularly reposition the surface () when it is at a particular vertical position. The apparatus () also includes a tilt control system () for limiting the extent to which head or foot ends () of the surface () can be angularly repositioned, a scale () and a warning system () for communicating a warning when a change in the weight on the surface () is indicative of a patient moving or attempting to move off of the surface (), a sensor () for detecting an increase in amperage during an operation and stopping the operation, and an ability to update microcontroller programming via a controller area network bus ().

An exercise chair of the type wherein a user can sit on a seating platform and extend and retract his legs while his feet are resting on a spring-resisted foot rod includes a movable bar for pivotally supporting the foot rod and which is positionable in an operative position or a storage position. In the operative position, the foot bar is positioned for desired use in pre-determined exercises while in the storage position it is positioned so as to permit nestable stacking of a plurality of the chairs.

A suction nozzle holster device is provided with three possible operating positions through the use of a mounting channel component having a left, a center and a right key plate/key nub system that can each be respectively inserted into a cooperating keyway slot/nub receiver opening system mounted on a rear portion of a holster mounting component of the device. This arrangement gives the holster device three distinct operating positions.

An energy therapy device is provided that utilizes an array of energy-emitting elements to stimulate Qi energy flow along acupuncture meridians. Energy-emitting elements are activated and deactivated sequentially to produce an energy wave. The energy wave is brought into contact with, or in close proximity to, anatomical sites on a patient's body that have underlying acupuncture meridians. The energy wave produced by the energy therapy device stimulates the flow of Qi energy resulting in a number of therapeutic benefits including pain relief, and reduction of inflammation.

Combination bathtub and infant-supporting insert are provided with interengagable members for firmly holding the insert in any of multiple inclined positions, enabling support of an infant on its back from a near horizontal position shortly after birth to a near-upright position at the stage that it is almost ready to outgrow the tub. The tub and insert are each preferably injection molded as a single piece from an appropriate plastic material. The infant-supporting surface is smoothly contoured to properly support the back, head and bottom of the infant in all angles of inclination, regardless of the infant's size.

A system for the disposal of medical waste comprises a sharps container (12) and a nonsharps container (14). The sharps container (12) is interconnected to the nonsharps container (14) for convenience. The sharps container (12) has an open end (18) with a semitortuous path therethrough which helps retain sharps within the sharps container (12). The nonsharps container (14) may also include an attachment holder (16 or 17) which is engaged thereon. A header (20) is positioned in an open end (22) of the nonsharps container (14). Medical nonsharps are disposed of by depositing them within the nonsharps container (14) through the header (20).

The present invention is principally directed to an apparatus for unsheathing, resheathing and handling needles. The preferred embodiment includes an elongated housing having an opening at one end that communicates with an internal chamber. Sheath retaining members are disposed substantially adjacent to the opening and can be employed for selective retaining engagement of a sheath that is inserted into the opening. The sheath retaining members may include a deflectable spring member. A gripping portion may be provided in connection with the housing. Appropriate use of the apparatus obviates the need for manual grasping of a needle sheath and provides additional advantages.
