Means for stripping blood-lines

摘要

A powered hand-held device (200) for use in stripping blood-lines is disclosed comprising a body (202) housing a battery (206) in a handle portion (204) thereof and housing a first motor (210) in a head portion (208) thereof. A pair of rollers extends from the head at an angle to the handle and is drivingly connected to the motor (210) by a drive mechanism (212). One of the rollers (220) is an idler and is mounted on a support member (222) adapted for lateral movement in the head (208) so that it can be moved toward and away from the other roller (not shown). Support member (222) is driven by an actuator including a second motor (214) that rotates a gear (218) which engages a toothed rack (226) on support member (222).
