The present invention provides modified platelets having a reduced platelet clearance and methods for reducing platelet clearance. Also provided are compositions for the preservation of platelets. The invention also provides methods for making a pharmaceutical composition containing the modified platelets and for administering the pharmaceutical composition to a mammal to mediate hemostasis.

Methods of using an apparatus for prolonging survival of platelets using CMP-sialic acid, UDP-galactose or both

A centrifugal processing bag, system and method for separating the components of a mixed material is presented. The processing bag includes a hub and a first port for receiving the mixed material, where the first port includes an outlet positioned within the processing bag at a perimeter of the bag. The processing bag also including a second port having a second port inlet spaced proximate the hub and away from a central axis of the hub. The second port directs a separated material collected from the second port inlet out of the processing bag.

A needle structure having proximal and distal ends and including a collection needle section at a more proximal end of the needle structure and a skin plug retainer section at the very distal end and integral with the collection needle section. The collection needle section includes a generally hollow tubular member having an external surface, an inner lumen and a port through the tubular member so as to enable fluid flow from about the tubular member to the inner lumen for collection therefrom. The skin plug retainer section includes a hollow tubular piece having an external surface and an inner lumen. The hollow tubular piece is beveled at its distal end to form a needle tip. A barrier wall may be disposed intermediate the collection needle section and the skin plug retainer section.

A system for transferring blood product between a blood storage bag and a processing bag. The system includes an airtight containment chamber for supporting therein one or more blood storage bags. A door is provided for access to the chamber and there is included an airtight fixture that allows tubing from the blood storage bag to exit the chamber. A fluid pump is coupled to the containment chamber for establishing either pressure or vacuum within the containment chamber. A controller controls the air pump to, in turn, control the transfer of a blood product.

Methods and apparatus providing a compact illumination device with interchangeable adaptable insert components and a light source heat sink feature are disclosed. A compact illumination device generates high quality illumination with interchangeable insert components enabling the illumination device to functioning independently or in conjunction with existing devices. The heat sink feature includes a heat sink module adaptable to single or multiple LED configurations to provide optimal light quality for differing applications. The heat sink feature provides optimal heat dissipation from the light source and circuitry to maximize functional life of both the components. The illumination device has multiple operational modes that are customizable for application-specific requirements and controlled through mechanisms fully integrated into the housing assembly. The interchangeability of adaptable insert components configurations within the housing assembly reduces manufacturing burden and overall cost to produce each illumination device.

Methods and apparatus for use to relieve fatigue and or strain of the wrists, fingers, arms, and upper body due to repetitive motion or position. A support is provided comprised of an inflatable main support, a medium dispensing assembly, and a conduit assembly. The support's intended use is in conjunction with devices that require the user to maintain a position on a work surface, such as computer keyboards, pointing devices, and associated device pads. The support features an attached medium dispensing assembly and pressure release valve to allow the user repeatable inflation/deflation cycles and fine adjustments of the support inflation pressure.

User-adjustable support apparatus

The present invention relates to illumination sources. The invention provides a two-part housing including a battery housing component and a lamp housing component, that are adapted to each other. The housing components are sealed, and the illumination source can be controlled by manipulation of the housing components or optionally by pressure on the exterior of the device.
