A medical electrode composed of a cylindrical portion open at one end and closed at the other end with only an opening for snug passage of a male projecting portion of a head connected to a lead wire and, at the other end, having a flange, the cylindrical portion being filled with a conductive adhesive gel which projects axially from the flange with a removable liner normally protecting the adhesive gel and to be removed for use.

A medical tube characterized in that it dilates at its cut ends toward the external surface when it is cut at any random portion transversely relative to its longitudinal direction. The patency of the sutured portion may be maintained in good condition over a long time, since pannus formation in the internal cavity can be obviated at the sutured portion between an organ of a living body and an artificial medical tube.

A medical system capable of giving different treatments in a row to a patient comprises a first treatment apparatus, a second treatment apparatus, an operation unit, a memory, a communication unit and a selection switch. The first treatment apparatus has a first treatment unit for a first treatment and a first control part which sends a control signal to the first treatment unit based on a first setting signal for the first treatment. The second treatment apparatus has a second treatment unit fo...

A medical bed including a base, a platform comprising several sections, and adjustment apparatus for adjusting the height, the longitudinal and lateral slope of the platform and the position of the platform sections with respect to each other. Also provided is a base having a main beam transverse to the platform which is mounted on the height position adjustment apparatus. The longitudinal slope adjustment apparatus is also mounted on this beam. The lateral slope adjustment apparatus of the plat...

The invention contemplates a non-invasive technique and apparatus for artificially stimulating the venous-return flow of blood from the foot by inducing sharply pulsed squeezing or necking-down of the vessels of the venous-pump mechanism within the foot. The stimulation results from transient flattening of the plantar arch, in that an induced transient spread of the heel with respect to the ball of the foot stretches, and therefore necksdown involved blood vessels; stimulation also results from ...

A medical device is disclosed herein for patient care in connection with syringe and catheter drainage and feeding procedures which includes an elongated, flexible extension tube having an adapted plug or fitting at each end and a control clamp operably carried along the length of tube. Each plug or fitting is provided with a pair of dissimilar sized connections adapted to insertably receive a plurality of sized syringe or catheter dispensing nozzles or tips. Caps are provided for covering the c...

An electrolyte gel matrix, which may be a conductive adhesive such as a urethane hydrogel, is located in a cavity formed in a non-conductive tray. The matrix is adapted to engage the skin of a patient and transmit signals between the skin and an electrode conductor supported by the base of the tray for exchanging signals with peripheral equipment. A stiffening platform adhered to the tray extends across the cavity portion aligned with the conductor to minimize motion artifacts associated with th...

A medical bag comprising a pair of heat-sealable soft plastic sheets disposed opposing each other, said sheets having peripheral portions which are sealed together so as to form a bag main body; and substantially non-flowable, substantially continuous layers covering those portions of opposing surfaces of said sheets at least at portions of said opposing surfaces other than said peripheral portions, said substantially non-flowable layers comprising a silicone resin composition, said silicone res...

A medical applicance of a stationary surgical suction device comprised of an ultramalleable formable tube that may readily be shaped in situ. The tube is comprised of a formable, flexible tubular plastic ultramalleable material, having at least one fluid conveying lumen and includes a parallel oriented malleable member that is disposed within the plastic material so as to be frictionally interrelated to the tubular plastic material. A method of fabricating the lumen includes the steps of furnish...
