    • An apparatus for counting the number of times a temperature cycle occurs includes an indicator having sequential indicia and a temperature responsive member for indicating a next one of the indicia. Mechanical, fluid mechanical and electronic versions of the invention are disclosed. In the mechanical version, the indicator can be a ratchet member having teeth, a pawl and a display surface containing indicia. A temperature responsive element such as a bimetallic member engages the teeth of the ratchet and advances the ratchet each time the apparatus is subjected to a preset temperature cycle. A housing with a window masks the display to indicate one of the indicia as advanced by the temperature responsive element. Preferred embodiments of the mechanical version include a ring-like ratchet member with interior teeth and an exterior display surface. The number of teeth is preferably one or more less than the number of indicia so that upon advancing the ratchet member to the last indicia, it can be advanced no further. The bimetallic element is mounted inside the ring and the housing covers the outer surface of the ring. A removable locking pin is provided to prevent movement of the ratchet member until activated.

    • An endoscopic tool for dispensing units of hemostatic agent broadly comprises a hollow tube which holds a plurality of individual units of the hemostatic agent, a valve at the distal end of the hollow tube which permits the hemostatic agent to pass therethrough but prevents foreign matter from contacting the hemostatic agent while in the tube, a plunger which extends into the hollow tube and contacts a proximal unit of the hemostatic agent, and a mechanism for moving the plunger distally in incremental movements to cause, upon each incremental movement, an individual unit of the hemostatic agent to be pushed through the valve. Typically, the mechanism for moving the plunger and the proximal end of the hollow tube are held in a handle. One mechanism for moving the plunger utilizes a portion of the plunger as a ratchet by forming a plurality of conical elements thereon, and utilizes a switch in the handle which has a V-spring coupled thereto as a pawl for advancing the conical elements. A second mechanism utilizes a regularly shaped notched cutout in the handle as the ratchet, and a vertical protrusion on the plunger which extends through the cutout as an engagement element. The notched cutout provides resilient stops, and the protrusion is shaped to allow it to be forced in a forward direction through each resilient stop and then to sit in another notch.

    • An air introduction system for a medical needle assembly is provided and includes a flexible bladder, and a male luer assembly with an air valve which is biased to allow air to enter the air introduction system but not to exit. The air introduction system is coupled to a needle assembly which is to be introduced into the epidural space. As the needle traverses the tissue layers overlying the epidural space, and the practitioner applies pressure to the bladder, the practitioner experiences resistance to the forcing of air through the needle assembly. If air is lost from the bladder, the bladder may be refilled by releasing the pressure on it and allowing outside air to enter via the air valve. Once the epidural space is penetrated, air is quickly forced from the bladder through the needle assembly and the practitioner can feel a sudden drop in pressure. To aid in detection, the air introduction system is provided with an air activated sound device situated so as to be exposed to the air flow pushed out of the bladder. With the sound device, an audible warning is provided as the air rushes from the bladder through the needle assembly and into the epidural space.

    • A tissue core biopsy cannula of the present invention includes a distal end which is ground in two planes which intersect each other at a first angle along a line which intersects the longitudinal axis of the cannula at a second angle. This produces a cardioid shaped opening in the distal end of the cannula. The entire edge of the sidewall is thereby inclined inward toward the distal opening and two distal cutting edges are provided. According to the presently preferred embodiment, the first angle at which the two planes intersect is approximately 60.degree. and the second angle at which the intersection of the two planes intersects the longitudinal axis of the cannula is approximately 20.degree.. In order to aid in removal of the biopsy sample from the target tissue site, the cannula according to the invention is provided with side fenestration holes and/or a split end which aids in grasping the tissue so that it can be pulled away from the target tissue site. The cannula according to the invention may be used with a solid stylet or a notched stylet and may be provided as part of a manual or automatic biopsy tool. A preferred stylet for use with the cannula has a distal end which is also ground in two planes like the distal end of the cannula.
