A computer-implemented method for matching transportation providers with transportation requesters includes receiving, from a requester computing device, a transportation request to transport a ride requester and the trusted transportation provider being an individual who has an established verified relationship with the ride requester and retrieving computing device transmission parameters for one or more trusted transportation providers from a database on a computing device. The computer-implemented includes communicating the transportation request based, at least in part, on the retrieved computing device transmission parameters and receiving, from the one or more trusted provider computing devices, one or more acceptances of the transportation request. The computer-implemented includes identifying a selected trusted transportation provider, from the one or more acceptances of the transportation request by the one or more trusted provider computing devices and communicating the identification as the selected trusted transportation provider, to a selected trusted transportation computing device.

Method and system for identifying pre-identified or pre-selected groups of individuals for transportation

The present invention is a combination light handle cover having flexible light handle cover performance in its grip part and semi-rigid light handle performance in its protective upper flange, where two snap fit connections are formed between the invention combination light handle cover and a rigid light handle which is adapted to be fixed rigidly to a surgical light or lamp. A lower snap fit connection is formed between lower female impressions (such as tabs) in the combination light handle cover at a relatively smaller diameter portion of the combination light handle cover in a zone between the grip part and the protective upper flange, which first female impressions snap fit to a lower extension ridge of the rigid light handle. An upper snap fit connection is formed between upper female impressions (such as tabs) in the combination light handle cover at a relatively large diameter portion of the combination light handle cover in a zone upon its protective cover, which second female impressions snap fit to an upper extension ridge of the rigid light handle, which upper extension ridge has a diameter much greater than that of the lower extension ridge.

Combination flexible and semi-rigid light handle cover

A surgical scalpel includes an elongate handle defining a longitudinal axis and having a proximal end and a distal end. The scalpel has a cartridge removably mounted to the handle that has a blade holder with a proximal end and a distal end. There is a blade fixedly attached to blade holder disposed so that the blade projects distally outwardly when the cartridge is mounted on the handle. The cartridge also has a shield with a proximal end, a distal end and a bottom mounted onto the blade holder. The shield is slidably movable between a distal position where the shield substantially prevents inadvertent access to the blade and a proximal position where the shield substantially surrounds a portion of the handle and the blade is exposed for use. The cartridge is releasably mountable to the handle and has elements for substantially preventing movement of the shield with respect to the blade holder unless the cartridge is mounted on the handle. The cartridge further including elements for substantially preventing an inadvertent movement of the shield to the proximal position thereby to expose the blade as the cartridge is being mounted to the handle.

A flexible container is provided for the storage and mixing together of diluents and medicaments. The container incorporates multiple compartments, separated by peelable seals, in which the diluents and medicaments are stored. The container is constructed of thermoplastic materials having high oxygen and moisture barrier properties which allows the container to be stored for extended periods of time without degrading the contents. The seals are ruptured by manipulation of the container to thereby mix the contents together for delivery through standard IV arrangement to a patient. The seals are constructed to provide a non-linear resistance characteristic to hydraulic pressure, which causes the seal to peel open completely along its length. The container is folded-over along the line of one of the seals and also includes a locking tab and retaining slot to secure the bag in a folded-over condition.

A surgical scalpel includes an elongate handle that has a proximal end, a open distal end and sidewalls that define an upwardly open cavity with a bottom with an open void therein. The sidewalls each have an elongate channel therein. The scalpel of the invention includes a cartridge that is removably retained within the cavity. The cartridge includes a shield. The cartridge has a blade holder with a proximal end and a distal end mounted within the shield for slidable movement between a proximal and a distal position. There is a latch on the blade holder for engaging the handle and the shield to retain releasably the blade holder in the distal position and the proximal position. The scalpel has a blade fixedly attached to the blade holder so that when the blade holder is in the distal position, the blade projects distally from the handle. When the blade holder is in the proximal position, the blade is within the shield and the handle and thus substantially protected from inadvertent exposure.

A surgical scalpel has a retractable sleeve. An elongated handle with a contoured grip portion is releasably attached to a blade holder securing a surgical blade. The blade holder is secured to the handle by a hook and groove assembly and a male to female connection. The sleeve slides between an extended position and a retracted position on the handle and blade holder. The extended position of the sleeve covers the blade thereby protecting operating room personnel. An arch on the sleeve contacts the hook and disengages the hook out of the groove to facilitate removal of the blade holder.

A scalpel of the present invention includes an elongate handle defining a longitudinal axis and having a proximal end and a distal end. The scalpel of the invention further includes a cartridge that is removably mounted to the handle. The cartridge has blade holder with a proximal end and a distal end with a blade fixedly attached that is disposed so that the blade projects distally outwardly when the cartridge is mounted to the handle. The cartridge also includes a shield that is slidably mounted onto the blade holder for movement between a distal position where the shield substantially prevents inadvertent access to the blade and a proximal position where the shield substantially surrounds a portion of the handle and the blade is exposed for use. The cartridge is releasably mountable on the handle. The shield is substantially prevented from movement to the proximal position unless the cartridge is mounted on the handle and not dismountable from the handle unless the shield is in the distal position.

A surgical scalpel includes a handle with a proximal end and a distal end that defines a cavity with an open distal end within the handle. The handle further includes an opening. The scalpel of the invention has a cartridge removably mountable to the handle. The cartridge includes a blade holder with a proximal end and a distal end. The blade holder includes elements for removably mounting the cartridge to the handle. There is a blade fixedly attached to the blade holder so that the blade projects distally. The scalpel of has a shield mounted on the blade holder for slidable movement between a distal position wherein the shield substantially prevents inadvertent access to the blade and a proximal position wherein the shield is substantially within the handle and the blade is exposed for use. The shield has a latch for engaging the blade holder and releasably retaining the shield in both the distal position and the proximal position.

A folding surgical light handle is made from an inexpensive light weight material and can be made as a single part including a handle body with a grip portion, a flange, and an integral connecting member which links the handle body and flange together through a pair of hinged connections. The hinged connecting member enables the light handle to be folded for convenient storage and to be quickly unfolded when the light handle is needed. A threaded head integral to the flange portion provides a way for the light handle to be installed on a surgical light fixture.
