A puncture cannula, particularly for nerve stimulation, comprises a steel cannula (10) attached to a cannula hub (11), and a cable (19) extending through an insertion channel (18) and having its core (21) connected to the steel cannula (10). The hub (11) of the cannula (10) comprises a metallic clamping element (24) formed with a first clamping slot engaging the steel cannula (10) and with a second clamping slot engaging the core (21) of the cable (19).

A puncture catheter for transjugular or transfemoral percutaneous introduction into the lower vena cava is described. The catheter is composed of an outer direction catheter (1) and an inner puncturing catheter (5) introduced into it. The end segment (2) of the direction catheter (1) may be bent at an angle by means of a pulling mechanism (4), and directed toward the wall of the vena cava (V1). The tip of the puncture catheter (5) serves to perforate the wall of the vena cava (V1) and to punctur...

The puncture closure for closing a blood vessel with a puncture, in particular an artery, a vein short circuited with an artery, a shunt or a prosthesis, etc. has a pressure chamber in which an overpressure may be created, provided with an opening for receiving a pressure medium and fastenable to the body in the area of the puncture. The part of the pressure chamber that faces the body is extensible. In order to create a puncture closure that reliably closes the puncture of a blood vessel withou...

A puncture device which can stick a puncture needle certainly to a predetermined region of a skin includes a puncture needle having a curvature portion, a retaining member retaining the puncture needle, an indwelling device adapted to be indwelled in a living body by way of the puncture needle, and a guide member mounted at a predetermined position of a body surface. The puncture needle is adapted to be stuck into the skin along the guide member.

The present invention relates to a puncture seal for sealing a blood vessel having a puncture opening in a body of a human being or an animal. The seal comprises a pressure chamber which can be attached to the body in the area of the puncture opening and subjected to an overpressure, wherein the pressure chamber has a supporting wall in an area opposite to the body. In order to create a puncture seal, in which the pressure chamber can be reliably sealed once the hypodermic needle has been remove...

A puncture protector having a flexible backing with adhesive on one side thereof and a shielding arrangement for blocking passage of needles, both of which can be conformed to that portion of the body of the needle user, often the fingers, which is desired to be protected.

A device for puncturing cortical bone. The device consists of a cannula and inside of it an axially movable needle. The distal end of the needle has an eccentrically shaped tip which, by drilling, forms a hole, larger than the outer diameter of the needle, through corticalis, whereupon the enclosing cannula can be inserted into the drilled hole. In this way the cannula's position in the bone is secured and the cannula functions as a fixed anchored guiding channel for further sampling or treatmen...

A vehicle tire casing and inner inflated tubular member of material comprising lead (or optionally other highly malleable metal having high ductility in the range of that of lead and copper, and substantially pure aluminum and tin). Lead, which may be flexed many thousands of times without fracture, is resistant to puncture and may be welded by simple heating without flux, is preferred; when copper, aluminum or tin is used the tubular member is sheathed in and flexibly bonded to a thin-rubber en...

A puncture-resistant fuel container for a vehicle including a rigid supporting structure, a fuel cell of flexible material disposed within the structure, and puncture-resistant members of a nonwoven fibrous material, such as nylon felt, positioned against the cell in at least the puncture prone areas thereof. The puncture-resistant members act to prevent sharp jagged metal objects from penetrating the flexible cell in crash situations.

A tire puncture repair system includes an implement for forming a repair plug and inserting same into a tire casing to seal a puncture wound. The implement includes an insertion needle having a hook adjacent its free end and a gaff retractable away from the needle. To form a plug, an elastic loop constructed of an endless strand of non-circular transverse cross-section is placed between the needle hook and the gaff. The gaff is operable to simultaneously twist and stretch the strand into a helic...
