A clip is integrally formed with or attached to each temple piece of a pair of eyeglass, to hold the eyeglasses to a garment, such as a pocket of a shirt or a belt. The pocket clip member resists torsional bending stresses caused by the constant on and off insertion or removal of the eyeglasses and clip to and from shirt pockets or other attachments. The cantilevered clip is twisted and stressed when the clip holds the eyeglass frame to the shirt pocket in a strong bond. However, the clip is adapted to undergo controlled elastic deformation from an unstressed configuration in response to torsional bending and twisting stress when the clip is inserted or removed from the pocket. The clip is further adapted to resiliently return to the unstressed configuration upon removal of the torsional bending and twisting stress, when fully inserted or removed from the pocket. The clip may be molded of thermoplastic resins such as polycarbonate or polyvinylchloride in a variety of colors to match eyeglass temple pieces such as black or brown. In addition, these clips can also be finished in a metallic tone such as gold or silver through a well known process used in packaging for cosmetics. These latter clips would closely match the temple pieces of gold or silver frames.

Eyeglass pocket clip and method

A clip is attached to each temple piece of a pair of eyeglass, to hold the eyeglasses within a pocket of a shirt. They are molded of thermoplastic resins such as polycarbonate or polyvinylchloride in a variety of colors to match eyeglass temple pieces such as black or brown. In addition, these clips can also be finished in a metallic tone such as gold or silver through a well known process used in packaging for cosmetics. These latter clips would closely match the temple pieces of gold or silver frames.

Eyeglass pocket clip accessory and method

A safety needle and blood collection and sampling system precluding needlstick injury by contaminated needles wherein a used needle is captured immediately within its carrier upon retraction of the needle flush with the carrier. Blood sampling is effected without reverse flow through the system and without reuse or exposure of a contaminated needle. Simplified means of assembling the needle are also set forth to minimize cost with maximum reliability notwithstanding a minimum of components.

Blood sampling is effected without reverse flow through the system and without reuse or exposure of a contaminated needle. Simplified techniques of assembling the needle are also set forth to minimize cost with maximum reliability notwithstanding a minimum of components.

Safe blood collection system

A simple and versatile system for the safe transfer and collection of body fluids, such as blood, wherein an enlarged generally cup-shaped guide port receives therewithin the transfer needle which is recessed rearwardly from the open end of the guide port whereby the transfer needle assembly may be manipulated without likelihood of needlestick injury to the health care worker. Larger Guide ports have apertured caps to facilitate and guide a transfer receiver into contact with the needle as well as to isolate further the worker's hand from the contaminated needle. A plurality of sizes of guide ports are provided for varying fluid receivers, with all having common interlocking means for the transfer needle assembly.

Means for safe collection and transfer of body fluids

A disposable medical needle assembly having unique insertion and removal means from tissue, including means for fully shielding the used or contaminated needle from hazardous access or exposure. Various such means are disclosed in cooperation with needle guide and manipulation means. The assembly may also be utilized in conjunction with catheter placement, blood collection, and like purposes, while maintaining full and automatic safety shielding of the needle after use.

Disposable medical needle and catheter placement assembly having full

A catheter and a method of making the same, which catheter has a means for interferring with an electromagnetic field to allow accurate detection of the catheter through tissue, the catheter comprising a first tube extruded over a continuous, solid core material having a diameter equivalent to the desired diameter of the inner passageway of the catheter, bands of metal fused to the first tube at various locations, and a second tube which is extruded over the first and the metal bands. The double-walled continuous tube is then cut into individual tubes and the core material is removed to form the catheter of this invention, which has a smooth outer surface and an embedded metal band.

Double wall catheter with internal printing and embedded marker

A device for accurately detecting and monitoring the position of an object inside biological tissue, particularly an endotracheal tube inside a patient's throat, comprising a circuit which generates an electromagnetic field of limited width and depth, and which is disturbed by the presence of material having a high magnetic permeability such as a metal band on the distal end of such an endotracheal tube, but which is otherwise stable and not affected by temperature or other such factors. Included in the invention is a probe for generating the electromagnetic field, which probe is insensitive to temperature changes.

Device for accurately detecting the position of a ferromagnetic material

Compositions having enhanced gas and drug transporting capability, are prepared by providing a perfluoro compound dispersed in an aqueous medium with a surfactant to form an aqueous initial dispersion, concentrating the perfluoro compound phase of the dispersion as by centrifugation or filtration, wherein a portion of the surfactant remains complexed with the particles of the perfluoro compound phase and the balance of the surfactant is in the aqueous phase, separating the phases, and redispersing the particles of the concentrated perfluoro compound phase to form a final dispersion in which greater than 65% by weight, and preferably at least 75%, of the surfactant present is complexed with the perfluoro compound particles.

Perfluoro compound dispersions containing reduced amounts of surfactant

A method of and apparatus for determining very accurately the position of a device inside biological tissue comprising a detecting instrument with a probe, which probe generates a small magnetic field which can be disturbed by a magnetically permeable metal in the device inside the tissue when a narrow end of the probe is positioned immediately adjacent to tissue containing the metal, whereby after the metal-carrying device is inserted in the tissue, the end of the probe is used to precisely locate the device by scanning the tissue until the magnetic field is disturbed which causes the instrument to emit a signal.
