Manually driven intraosseous devices and associated methods are described. The intraosseous device includes a housing and a transmission at least partially disposed within the housing. The transmission includes a first portion and a second portion. The second portion includes a manual actuator that is at least partially disposed outside of the housing. The intraosseous device also includes a penetrator assembly releasably connected to the first portion of the transmission. The transmission is configured to transmit a force, which is applied manually to the manual actuator, to the penetrator assembly to rotate the penetrator assembly relative to the housing and to drive the penetrator assembly through a bone into an intraosseous space. The manual actuator is a hand crank that is configured to be manually cranked by an operator to transfer rotational force to the first portion of the transmission.

An intraosseous access device for accessing an intraosseous space of a patient includes a manual driver and a sternal locator. The handle is connected to an inner penetrator hub, and an inner penetrator extends from the inner penetrator hub. An outer penetrator hub is releasably engaged to the inner penetrator hub. A protective cover is slidably coupled to the handle. The protective cover is operable to move from an extended position where the inner penetrator is covered, to a retracted position where the inner penetrator is exposed. The sternal locator includes a base; a collar extending from a first surface of the base for securing the intraosseous access device to restrict longitudinal separation of the intraosseous access device from the locator. The locator may be removed from the patient while the outer penetrator remains inserted in an intraosseous space of the patient.

A coating formulation for a substrate having abstractable hydrogen radicals is disclosed. The formulation includes a hydrophilic polymeric component comprising at least two polymeric species of differing molecular weights, an unsaturated hydrophilic monomer capable of free-radical polymerisation in the presence of a radical and a UV activatable compound capable of abstracting hydrogen radicals from the surface to be coated and from a polymeric specie of the hydrophilic polymeric component so as to initiate and promote the cross-linkage of the monomer to the surface and of the monomer or a propagating monomer chain to a polymeric specie of the polymeric component, and a suitable solvent to give the formulation a desired viscosity.

An embolic protection filter system comprises a collapsible embolic protection filterhaving a collapsed configuration for delivery of the filter, and a deployed configuration and a temporary lumen defining member. The lumen defining memberis used for loading a filter-containing delivery catheteronto a guidewire. After loading, the membercan be removed by pulling on a tab
