Described are drainage catheter hub devices which seal the hub from leakage when connected to a catheter. The catheter hub includes a hub body having an aperture with a sealing element mounted therein and a fluid passageway that communicates with the aperture. The fluid passageway and sealing element are configured to receive a tension member. A lever arm attached to the hub body is operable to secure the position of the tension member in the sealing element in a locked position or allow movement of the tension member through the sealing element in an unlocked position. The lever arm is configured to engage and compress the sealing element to block fluid flow through the sealing element and the aperture when the lever arm is in any position. The hub body may include a centering tab to align the tension member along a longitudinal axis of the hub body.

The present invention relates to a deployment handle for a prosthesis delivery device and to a delivery device including such a handle. The handle assembly facilitates the controlled release of a prosthesis from the delivery device, while ensuring that various deployment steps are performed in a particular sequential order. The handle assembly comprises a main handle and a second handle which is rotatably and/or longitudinally moveable relative to the main handle. The second handle has an initial position on the main handle such that it prevents access to, and premature manipulation of, a proximal stent release mechanism, until the stent graft has been at least partially unsheathed.

Arrangements for connecting a fluid carrying tube to a peristaltic pump and/or a patient are disclosed. Arrangements that prevent the misloading of a tube in a peristaltic pump and/or misconnection of a tube to the patient that may cause a peristaltic pump to pump fluid in an undesired direction (e.g., unintentionally into or out of a patient) are also disclosed. Tubing securing clip arrangements are disclosed as well as kits comprising tubing and clips.

Devices, systems and methods for delivering nutrients to a patient are provided. A gastrostomy feeding device includes a device housing having a proximal portion having an opening therein, a channel operably connected to the opening in the proximal portion, a distal portion having an opening therein, a lumen operably connected to the opening in the distal portion, and a cavity formed within the device housing. The device also includes a rotatable member positioned completely within the cavity and that is rotatable within the cavity relative to the housing. The rotatable member includes a first opening and a second opening and a lumen extending therebetween. The rotatable member is rotatable from a closed configuration to an open configuration where the second opening of the rotatable member is operably connected to the lumen of the device housing. The device further includes an expandable member positioned on the distal portion.

Low profile gastrostomy tubes

A prosthesis delivery device and method of using the same is described. The delivery device comprises a rotatable inner cannula extending from a proximal end to a distal end with a prosthesis releasably coupled to the proximal end. A delivery handle assembly is disposed at the distal end of the delivery device. The handle comprises a first handle disposed about the inner cannula, a rotary dial rotatably disposed about a distal end of the first handle and a second handle disposed about at least a portion of the distal end of the first handle. The second handle is longitudinally moveable relative to the first handle between a first position wherein the sheath is coaxially disposed about the prosthesis and rotation of the rotary dial is prevented, and a second position wherein the sheath is retracted distally to expose at least a portion of the prosthesis and rotation of the dial is permitted.

An injection device for injecting a medicant into a plurality of tissue sites in a patient for a selected treatment is constructed and arranged such that the number of tissue sites is the total number for the selected treatment thereby requiring a single positioning step. The injection device includes a body having a syringe and a control linkage, the syringe including a plurality of barrels, and a cooperating plunger array including a plurality of plungers. Each barrel receives a corresponding plunger. The injection device further includes a plurality of injection needles connected to the syringe wherein one injection needle is connected to each barrel, a multi-lumen tip, a shaft connected to the multi-lumen tip and extending between said multi-lumen tip and said body. The control linkage is connected to each needle so as to move each needle between a deployed injection position and a retracted position.

Multi-barrel syringe injection system

Among other things, there is disclosed a biopsy needle having a cutting cannula axially slidable over an inner stylet. The inner stylet has a proximal portion connected to a distal portion that includes first and second spaced-apart struts. The distal portion has a tissue penetrating tip and the stylet defines a sample-containment space between the struts having first and second radially opposed lateral openings thereto. The sample-containment space of the stylet readily accepts tissue through either of the lateral openings such that a near full core of tissue can be sampled.
