An active compression/decompression CPR device includes two pressure members mounted on a common beam. When placed on the victim with one member on the chest and the other on the abdomen, pressure on one end of the beam causes compression of the thorax and decompression of the abdomen. Conversely, when pressure is applied to the other end of the beam, the abdomen is compressed and the thorax is decompressed.

Active compression/decompression device for cardiopulmonary resuscitation

A cannula for performing two or more medical procedures either individually, seriatim or simultaneously, for example, combined percutaneous PBY and IAB procedures, which cannula includes a body having a common leg and two or more access port legs (e.g. a Y-shaped body), one access port for performing one procedure, a second access port for performing a second procedure, and hemostasis structure. A smooth continuous blood flow path is formed by a common lumen of a common leg of the cannula body and a primary lumen formed in a primary access port leg of the cannula body. The secondary access port legs are provided with secondary lumens that communicate with the common lumen.

Combined percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass (PBY) and intra-aortic

A wrapping system for an intra-aortic balloon in which a wrapping guide is provided which restrains the proximal end of the envelope from rotating as the distal end is rotated thereby providing a uniform wrap of the envelope from its distal to its proximal end. A wrapping wire is provided for rotating the envelope distal end and the wire extends through at least a part of the catheter to which the envelope is attached. A wrapping knob is coupled to the proximal end of the wrapping wire, whose distal end can be detachably coupled to the distal end of the envelope, and the knob is constructed to permit only a predetermined number of rotations in both wrapping and unwrapping the envelope.
