The present invention relates to a device that facilitates the mounting of beads onto a fishing hook, such as a fly fishing hook. In one embodiment, the device may have a storage chamber and one or more of a loading access tip, a bead loading hole and/or a beading access tip. In some devices, the one or more of a loading access tip, a bead loading hole and/or a beading access tip may be combined. In an embodiment, the loading access tip, bead loading hole, or beading access tip allows the loading of the beads into the device. The bead loading hole and the beading access tip facilitates the beading of a fishing hook. The device(s) may further have one or more of slits or holes to facilitate the beading of the fishing hooks.

An apparatus and method for warming a medical scope to a temperature at or near body temperature in order to prevent fogging and remove debris. A system for warming medical scopes and a variety of other medical items is to be used in conjunction with a liquid warming device for heating sterile fluids. The anti-fogging apparatus is described with emphasis on the properties of said apparatus and its interaction with a liquid warming device with a removable basin. Also disclosed are various desirable aspects for an apparatus used to warm and clean medical scopes and other medical items before, during and after medical procedures.

A series of implementations of open access sleeves for holding one or more closed containers of sterile fluid for use in medical procedures are disclosed. The open access sleeves may be adapted to provide heat to maintain the containers of sterile fluid above the ambient air temperature of the room. The provision of heat may be controlled by a control system. The control system may use a temperature measurement device to obtain a temperature representative of the container of sterile fluid and of the sterile fluid in the container. The access sleeve may be included in a device for maintaining an open volume of sterile fluid within a range of a target temperature to maintain the closed containers of sterile fluid at a temperature near target temperature for open volume of sterile fluid.

A liquid warming device for heating sterile fluids in a removable container is described with emphasis on the properties of the container interaction with the liquid warming device and with a drape that works with the container to maintain a sterile field above the drape and the top of the container. The interactions between a temperature sensor and a temperature well integrated in the removable container are disclosed. Also disclosed are various desirable aspects for a control system for a liquid warming device are provided. The liquid warming device can selectively employ a adapter in order to receive a container limited to a smaller diameter than the largest container diameter that can be accommodated by the liquid warming device. The small diameter container may receive a volume of sterile fluid so that the liquid warming device can maintain the sterile fluid in the small diameter container within a prescribed range of temperatures above ambient air temperature.

A papillotome has an elongated sheath and plural longitudinal lumens, a proximal end and a distal end wherein the sheath is sized to be received within an endoscopic lumen. The distal end has a pre-curved shape memory tip for controlling the bending and orientation of the distal end. The pre-curved shape memory tip has a set configuration wherein the tip retains the set curve configuration when the distal end is in a relaxed configuration. A cutting wire having a longitudinal cutting edge is located along the distal end of the sheath which is movable in a cutting plane. The cutting wire is connected to a conductor disposed within one lumen of the sheath. A guidewire is disposed within another lumen of the sheath for guiding the pre-curved shape memory tip within the endoscopic lumen. A third lumen may be provided for delivering or injecting a fluid such as contrast. The package for the papillotome includes curve retention device which retains the pre-curved shape memory tip in the set curve configuration during transit and storage.
