A limb support apparatus and corresponding methods for making same are disclosed. The limb support can comprise a shell for supporting a patient's limb during treatment, examination, and/or recovery. The shell can comprise at least one padding configured to protect the patient's limb. The padding can be secured to the shell using one or more mounting structures included in the padding. The mounting structures are configured such that they are received by corresponding mounting openings and/or features in the shell. An interference fit between the mounting structures and mounting openings/features secures the padding against the shell, thereby preventing the padding from inadvertently moving or sliding on the shell. Embodiments disclosed herein eliminate the need for traditionally used fasteners that are often difficult to clean and sterilize, thereby improving the quality of patient care and facilitating cleaning of patient and/or operating rooms.

Method and apparatus for securing a patient's limb

A shunting system includes a housing through which blood flow is regulated when passing therethrough, for example, from the arterial side to the venous side of the circulatory system. The housing is easily separable into housing components, the separability providing for access to inner components including a blood filter, which is easily removable from a connector disc, the blood filter and connector disc held in place in the housing when the housing components are coupled.

Device for shunting blood between the arterial and venous systems

An apparatus for shunting blood includes a flow-indication chamber shaped to define an entry port and an exit port, and one or more moveable objects disposed within the flow-indication chamber and configured to move in response to a flowing of the blood from the entry port to the exit port. At least a portion of a wall of the flow-indication chamber is transparent so as to expose the moveable objects to sight. Other embodiments are also described.

Shunts with blood-flow indicators

A fluid source management system () comprising a structure () that supports one or more fluid sources (), sensors () that determine the fluid state of the fluid sources (), at least one common reservoir () for storing the fluid, tubing () connecting the fluid sources () to the common fluid reservoir () and a controller () that controls the opening and closing of the tubing () based upon the fluid state of the fluid sources ().

In one aspect, an apparatus for supporting the head and neck of a user for airway management is disclosed, which comprises a top surface including at least one head-receiving portion configured and dimensioned for receiving and supporting a user's head, and at least one recess neck opening for supporting a user's neck when the user's head is received in the head-receiving portion. The apparatus further includes at least one chin support protruding above the top surface and configured for facilitating placing the user in a sniff position when the user's head is received in the head-receiving portion. The chin support can include a top surface segment and a lateral surface segment, where at least a portion of the lateral surface segment of the chin support extends from the top surface segment thereof to the at least one recess neck opening.

Method, system, and apparatus for facilitating positioning a person in lateral sniff position

Embodiments of an apparatus for supporting the neck and head of a user for airway management are described. The apparatus can include a base support section, which can rest on a supporting surface, a front side, two opposing sides and a back side with the base support section being dimensioned between about 25-26 inches in width, between about 16-17 inches in depth and about 6 inches in height with a separate and removable and replaceable head/neck support section.
