Fluid Reservoir With Integrated Heater

View page
US Patent:
7164852, Jan 16, 2007
Filed:
Jan 11, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/032827
Inventors:
Karl H. Cazzini - Orchard Park NY, US
Thomas P. Stewart - Orchard Park NY, US
Assignee:
Gaymar Industries, Inc. - Orchard Park NY
International Classification:
A61F 7/00
US Classification:
392470, 392478
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a fluid warming container (a. k. a. , cassette) having an integrated heating element attached to the container, not the warming device as conventionally done. The heating element provides thermal energy to the fluid contained in the container. The fluid contained in the container is designed to be injected and/or delivered, eventually and normally immediately, into a patient.

Deployable And/Or Retractable Mattress Bolsters

View page
US Patent:
7308725, Dec 18, 2007
Filed:
Mar 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/372655
Inventors:
Karl Cazzini - Orchard Park NY, US
Roland E. Flick - Elma NY, US
Assignee:
Gaymar Industries, Inc. - Orchard Park NY
International Classification:
A47C 27/10
US Classification:
5713, 5732, 5731, 5710
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a therapeutic bed comprising a mattress. The mattress has a fluid cushion and a fluid pump. The fluid cushion has a fluid support surface, a retractable/deployable bolster, and a closure mechanism. The fluid support surface has a top surface designed to receive a patient thereon. The closure mechanism corresponds to the retractable/deployable bolster and allows the retractable/deployable bolster to be deployed or retracted. When the retractable/deployable bolster is deployed the retractable/deployable bolster protrudes from the top surface and is positioned about a portion of the patient's perimeter. When the retractable/deployable bolster is retracted the closure mechanism is positioned over the retractable/deployable bolster to prevent the retractable/deployable bolster from protruding from the top surface. And the fluid pump provides a fluid to the fluid cushion.

Multi-Fiber Variable Intensity Wide-Angle Illuminator

View page
US Patent:
7618177, Nov 17, 2009
Filed:
Apr 25, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/410419
Inventors:
Karl Cazzini - Orchard Park NY, US
Assignee:
Alcon, Inc. - Fort Worth TX
International Classification:
A61B 1/06
US Classification:
362572, 362573, 362551, 362556, 362804, 362575
Abstract:
An illuminator and surgical illumination system are disclosed, one embodiment of the surgical illumination system comprising: a light source for providing a light beam; an optical cable, optically coupled to the light source for receiving and transmitting the light beam; a handpiece operably coupled to the optical cable; an optical fiber assembly operably coupled to the handpiece, wherein the optical fiber assembly is optically coupled to the optical cable to receive and transmit the light beam and wherein the optical fiber assembly comprises a plurality of fiber guides, wherein each fiber guide comprises a cladding having one or more fiber cores for transmitting and scattering the light beam to illuminate the surgical field, and a cannula, operably coupled to the handpiece for housing and directing the optical fiber assembly. The surgical illumination system can further comprise a separator operable to maintain a spacing between the fiber guides.

Heat Transfer Cuff

View page
US Patent:
7972287, Jul 5, 2011
Filed:
Oct 27, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/588583
Inventors:
Thomas P. Stewart - Orchard Park NY, US
Karl Hans Cazzini - Orchard Park NY, US
Donald Woodworth - East Amherst NY, US
Assignee:
Gaymar Industries, Inc. - Orchard Park NY
International Classification:
A61H 7/00
A61H 9/00
US Classification:
601 7, 601 15, 601149, 601151
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a device that provides thermal energy therapy, compression therapy and negative pressure therapy simultaneously and/or in conjunction with each therapy. The outcome of the present invention is that a patient's bodily fluids can be maintained, controlled, and/or adjusted with decreased medication dependence. Using these three therapies individually does not obtain these desired results of controlling, maintaining or adjusting the patient's bodily fluid. This combination of therapies is beneficial to the patient.

Thermoregulatory Device With Absorbent Material

View page
US Patent:
8021406, Sep 20, 2011
Filed:
Dec 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/305070
Inventors:
Karl Cazzini - Orchard Park NY, US
Joel T. Jusiak - Holland NY, US
Assignee:
Gaymar Industries, Inc. - Orchard Park NY
International Classification:
A61F 7/00
US Classification:
607104, 607114
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a thermoregulatory device. The device has a first layer, a second layer, an enclosure, an inlet and a liquid absorbing material. The first layer has a first interior surface, and a first exterior surface. The second layer has a second interior surface and a second exterior surface. The enclosure is formed by sealing and/or attaching the first interior surface to the second interior surface. The inlet directs a liquid into the enclosure. The liquid absorbing material is positioned (a) at and/or near an aperture that allows a liquid to contact the liquid absorbing material; or (b) on the first exterior surface that is of a material that allows the liquid to contact the liquid absorbing material. In addition, the application is directed a method of using the thermoregulatory device to transfer the liquid's thermal energy from the enclosure to a patient's skin.

Self-Contained Gatching, Rotating And Adjustable Foot Section Mattress

View page
US Patent:
8104125, Jan 31, 2012
Filed:
Oct 8, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/247765
Inventors:
Sohrab Soltani - Charleston SC, US
Joel T. Jusiak - Holland NY, US
Karl H. Cazzini - Lindenhurst IL, US
Assignee:
Stryker Corporation - Kalamazoo MI
International Classification:
A47C 27/08
A47C 17/00
US Classification:
5706, 5722, 5713, 5690
Abstract:
A self-contained gatching mattress is provided having a gatching mattress sleep deck, a first air bladder cushion, a second cushion material, a control box having an air pump system and a manifold, a conduit distribution unit, a sliding bridge, and a cushion material positioned above the sliding bridge and the control box. The sliding bridge forms a gap area for conduits to extend from the control box to the conduit distribution unit which decreases the chances of the conduits being kinked or the conduits altering the cushion's tissue interface pressure to a patient positioned on the cushion when the sleep deck is gatched and/or portions are retracted or extended.

Negative Pressure, Compression Therapy Device

View page
US Patent:
8226586, Jul 24, 2012
Filed:
Feb 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/709587

US Classification:
602 13, 607104, 607111, 601 6, 601 9, 601 27
Abstract:
A negative pressure, compression therapy device is described in this application. It has (a) a heel care boot having a fluid, (b) a pressure bag having an opening that receives the patient's foot and the heel care boot, and (c) a vacuum system that generates a modulatable negative pressure in the pressure bag. The negative pressure in the pressure bag is sufficient to cause the patient's veins to vasodilate and the negative pressure modulates to cause the fluid in the heel care boot to provide compression therapy to the patient.
