Title: Process for making fluid-entangled laminate webs with hollow projections and apertures
Inventor: MARK JOHN BEITZ
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 2017-02-28
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process and apparatus for formation of a fluid-entangled laminate web. The laminate web includes a support layer and a nonwoven projection web having a plurality of projections which are preferably hollow. The laminate web also includes a plurality of apertures interspersed with the projections. As a result of the fluid-entangling process, entangling fluid is directed through the support layer and into the projection web which is situated on a forming surface. The force of the entangling fluid causes the two layers to be joined to one another and the fluid causes a portion of the fibers in the projection web to be forced into openings present in a forming surface thereby forming the hollow projections. The force of the entangling fluid also causes the fibers of the two layers to be moved around protrusions present in the forming surface thereby forming the apertures.

Title: Single use lancing device
Inventor: MATTHEW DAVID FARMER
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 2022-03-28
Abstract: The lancing device comprises housing 13, a needle lancet 7 and a shroud 17, with a biasing member 18 coupled between lancet and shroud, possibly in the form of plastic spring legs. The lancet is configured to be movable from an operational position, where it is retained by features of the housing, for example legs 14. When the shroud is moved rearwards to a second point with respect to the housing, the lancet is driven to a retracted position (figure 9) by stored energy released from the biasing member 18. This follows the shroud being pressed against the skin around a sampling site, moving it through a first point which allows the needle to contact the sampling site. The biasing member may be formed integrally with the shroud and be primed during rearward movement of it. The device may be a single-use lancing device for providing a sample of blood.
