Patent CA-2469523-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TANAKA DON
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 2004-06-03
Abstract: A long term oxygen therapy system having an oxygen supply directly linked with a patient's lung or lungs may be utilized to more efficiently treat hypoxia caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The system includes an oxygen source, one or more valves and fluid carrying conduits. The fluid carrying conduits link the oxygen source to diseased sites within the patient's lungs. A collateral ventilation bypass trap system directly linked with a patient's lung or lungs may be utilized to increase the expiratory flow from the diseased lung or lungs, thereby treating another aspect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The system includes a trap, a filter/one-way valve and an air carrying conduit. In various embodiments, the system may be intrathoracic, extrathoracic or a combination thereof. A pulmonary decompression device may also be utilized to remove trapped air in the lung or lungs, thereby reducing the volume of diseased lung tissue. A lung reduction device may passively decompress the lung or lungs. In order for the system to be effective, an airtight seal between the parietal and visceral pleurae is required. Chemical pleurodesis is utilized for creating the seal.

IPC: A23L33/15
Filed: 2003-05-29
Abstract: The invention provides a flavouring receptacle (1) in the form of an elongat e tubular body (4) to be used as a drinking straw. The interior volume of the tube is adapted to contain a predetermined measure of flavouring concentrate in the form of a plurality of solid, generally spherical pellets (10). The pellets are retained within the straw by filtration means in the form of end caps (11), each including a sieve portion (12) and a cylindrical mounting portion (13). The sieves incorporate perforations, which are sufficiently small to contain the flavouring granules, and sufficiently large to allow relatively unimpeded passage of liquid through the straw. Passage of liquid beverage through the straw causes the pellets to progressively dissolve, thereby releasing the active ingredient into the beverage upon consumption.< /SDOAB>
