20080312607 | Polypropylene Hollow Barrel with Sliding Coated Rubber Piston - The present invention relates to a device comprising a piston sliding in a body like, for example, a syringe. | 12-18-2008 |
20090038701 | DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MIXING - A device or system includes a mixer comprising a three-dimensional lattice defining a plurality of tortuous, interconnecting passages therethrough. The mixer is in communication with sources or streams of at least two separate components which, when mixed, form a combined fluid stream. The sources or streams may be, at least initially, on opposite sides of the mixer, or the sources or streams may be on the upstream side of the mixer with an outlet disposed downstream of the mixer. A related method may include providing a mixer comprising a three-dimensional lattice defining a plurality of tortuous, interconnecting passages therethrough, and selecting a material for the mixer based on physical characteristics of said material, said characteristics including a selected one or more of mean flow pore size, thickness and porosity volume. | 02-12-2009 |
20090246260 | FIBRIN FOAM AND PROCESS - A fibrin wound dressing is made by mixing quantities of fibrinogen solution and thrombin solution with air. The resulting foam is very light weight, and with the proper attention to the amount of thrombin, is also sufficiently viscous to rest on a vertical surface without dripping. The wound dressing may also be formulated for its ability to continue migration of healing substances, such as PDGF, from the dressing to the wound site. Thrombin substitutes, such as other clotting proteins, may be used instead of thrombin. The resulting foam may also be lyophilized or ground and lyophilized for later reconstitution. A therapeutic drug or other additive may also be added to the wound dressing. | 10-01-2009 |

20100246316 | DISPENSER, KIT AND MIXING ADAPTER - A system includes a source of at least a first component, and a mixer having an inlet coupled to the source of at least a first component and an outlet, the mixer including at least one mixing device and a source of at least a second component disposed between the inlet and the outlet. The at least one mixing device includes a three-dimensional lattice defining a plurality of tortuous, interconnecting passages therethrough. The at least one mixing device has physical characteristics to sufficiently mix the first and second components, which characteristics include a selected one or more of mean flow pore size, thickness and porosity. Also disclosed are a kit defined by the source and the mixer, in the form of a mixer adapter, and the mixer adapter alone. | 09-30-2010 |
20110166596 | Mixing System, Kit and Mixer Adapter - A system includes a cylinder having a bore with a piston disposed therein, the piston moveable along the bore of the cylinder and having a passage therethrough. The system also includes a mixer disposed in the passage in the piston and including at least one porous mixing device, the at least one porous mixing device comprising a three-dimensional lattice defining a plurality of tortuous, interconnecting passages therethrough, and having physical characteristics to sufficiently mix the first and second components, which characteristics include a selected one or more of mean flow pore size, thickness and porosity. | 07-07-2011 |
20110171087 | Pipette System, Pipette Tip Assembly and Kit - A pipette tip assembly includes a pipette tip having a first open end adapted to receive a pipette tip mounting shaft of a pipette, a second open end, and an open channel therebetween. The assembly also includes a mixer disposed in the channel, the mixer including at least one porous mixing device. The at least one porous mixing device includes a three-dimensional lattice defining a plurality of tortuous, interconnecting passages therethrough, and has physical characteristics to sufficiently mix first and second fluids drawn or expelled through the mixer, which characteristics include a selected one or more of mean flow pore size, thickness and porosity. | 07-14-2011 |
