A vent is disclosed for use in ventilating attic spaces beneath a hip roof. The vent is configured to be installed along a hip of the roof overlying and covering a ventilation slot. The vent includes an elongated laterally flexible top panel from which baffle arrays depend. The baffle arrays include a plurality of curved vanes that arc away from the slot. The vanes are configured to redirect wind-blown rain and snow away from the slot and block the migration of rain and snow through the vent. Filler strips can be attached beneath the edge portions of the vent. The filler strips conform to underlying shingles when the vent is installed to fill gaps that might be formed between the vent and the shingles. A weather filter can be positioned over some of the baffle arrays to allow attic air to pass but prevent ingress of blown snowflakes and raindrops.

Hip vent

A vent is disclosed that is particularly suited to use in ventilating attic spaces beneath a hip roof. The vent is configured to be installed along a hip of the roof overlying and covering a ventilation slot formed through the roof deck along the hip. The vent includes an elongated laterally flexible top panel from which baffle arrays depend. The baffle arrays are formed of a plurality of depending arcuately curved vanes that arc away from the vent. The vanes are aerodynamically shaped to redirect wind-blown rain and snow away from the vent and are configured to block the migration of rain and snow through the vent. A pair of spongy conformable filler strips is attached beneath the edge portions of the vent. The filler strips conform to the shapes of underlying shingles when the vent is installed to fill any gaps that otherwise might be formed between the vent and the shingles. A weather filter drapes over some of the baffle arrays to allow attic air to pass but prevent ingress of blown snowflakes and raindrops.

Delivery devices, systems, and methods may be configured to define a barrier region at a treatment site to deliver one or more therapeutic materials. A device for delivering one or more therapeutic materials to a treatment site may include a body; one or more members that are movable with respect to the body and that are configured to define a barrier region at the treatment site; and one or more delivery lumens configured to deliver one or more therapeutic materials to the barrier region.
