Patent CA-2544491-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUNIS CHRISTOPHER G
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2004-09-29
Abstract: A device for folding a balloon of a balloon catheter onto a catheter tube during a balloon deflation includes a first band positioned on the catheter tube distal to the balloon and a second band positioned on the catheter tube proximal to the balloon. One or more elastic member(s) are attached to and extend between the bands for interaction with the outer surface of the balloon. During a balloon deflation, the elastic members cooperate to fold the balloon into pleats. When used on a cutting balloon, each elastic member is formed with a slot to allow a respective blade of the cutting balloon to extend through the elastic member. The elastic members fold the cutting balloon into a configuration in which each blade becomes nestled within a pair of adjacent balloon pleats to prevent the blade from inadvertently incising tissue during an in-vivo movement of the balloon catheter.

Abstract: There is provided an assisting device for practicing lateral movement of a lower jaw to move a cheek-side cusp of a lower molar to a cheek-side surface of an upper molar.  The assisting device includes an occlusion portion, which is placed in an oral cavity of a user and occluded by an upper central incisor and a lower central incisor, and a handle connected with the occlusion portion. The occlusion portion includes an upper tooth contact surface to be in contact with an incisal edge of the upper central incisor, and a lower tooth contact surface to be in contact with an incisal edge of the lower central incisor.  The lower tooth contact surface has a flat surface. The occlusion portion provides a space between the incisal edge of the upper central incisor and the incisal edge of the lower central incisor. The upper tooth contact surface and the lower tooth contact surface cover entire movement ranges of the incisal edge of the upper central incisor and the incisal edge of the lower central incisor, respectively, when the lateral movement of the lower jaw is being practiced. It is, therefore, possible to provide an assisting device for practicing lateral movement of a lower jaw to assist a user to laterally move the lower jaw in a smooth manner.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns methods, compositions and apparatus for detecting pathogens and/or molecular markers. In a particular embodiment, the pathogen to be detected may be Mycobacterium bovis or any other Mycobacterium species that causes tuberculosis in a mammal. However, the disclosed methods are not limited and virtually any type of pathogen and/or molecular marker may be screened and detected. Preferred embodiments comprise reflex supplemental testing using the same assay at approximately 100% sensitivity and the highest possible corresponding sensitivity - in one example 70%. Such assay conditions, used iteratively, result in elimination of 70% of uninfected subjects for each round of testing. Use of 4 or more rounds of testing results in less than 1% error. Since only positive samples are retested, the methods provide a rapid, inexpensive and highly accurate way to detect infected subjects.
