A breakaway medical tubing connector and method for joining two sections of medical tubing includes a pump side member and a patient side member positioned axially opposite from the pump side member. The patient side member has a first channel disposed within the pump side member and a first valve disposed within the first channel. The pump side member has a second channel disposed within the patient side member and a second valve disposed within the second channel. The first valve may be an active valve and the second valve may be a passive valve. A securing bar may be disposed on the pump side member and a securing arm may be disposed on the patient side member for providing a detachable coupling of the two members.

Embodiments disclose a disposable protective assembly apparatus for a dental syringe body of a dental syringe. The apparatus is a combination of a disposable syringe tip and a disposable protective sleeve, the sleeve being pre-attached to the syringe tip, and the sleeve being in a pre-folded position to be quickly and easily slid over the dental syringe prior to a dental operation.

A method fluidly connects a male luer connector and a female luer connector. To that end, a housing having a first end and a second end is provided. The housing has a first opening nearer to the first end that is configured to receive the male luer connector. The housing also includes a second opening nearer to the second end that is configured to receive the female luer connector. The male luer connector is positioned into the first opening in a direction that is along a central axis of the housing. The female luer connector is positioned into the second opening in a direction that is transverse to a central axis of the housing. The method then advances the male luer connector into the opening of the female luer connector so as to form a fluid connection therebetween.

The present invention relates to a connector for use in supply lines for intravenous infusions. The object of the present invention is to provide a connector designed in such a way that secure assembly of the infusion arrangement is made possible, and such that the connecting piece may be nondisconnectably or nonreleasably locked to the mating piece at a later time. This object is achieved by providing securing of the connection, in particular by way of a thread, and providing a separately operable capping sleeve that covers the securing.

A connector for use with a dialyzer to connect a conduit from a dialyzer with a conduit from a dialysate source. The connector includes a sleeve (female component) and a collet (male component). The sleeve has a generally cylindrical shape with an opening at one end having a circular shape with at least one slot positioned along the periphery of the circular shape. The sleeve also includes at least one flexible finger having a barb at a free end. The collet is configured to be housed within an interior chamber of the sleeve and has first and second gaps to house the barbs and first and second deflectable flanges to lock into recesses in a conduit.

A simply lockable quick coupling for releasably connecting a hose to an implantable apparatus, comprises a first attachment piece that can be connected to the hose and a second attachment piece that can be connected to the apparatus, wherein the attachment pieces can be rotated relative to each other in the locked state.

Disclosed is a fluid connection system including a sleeve, a pipe and a fluid connector, the fluid connector including at least one rigid body made from a sterilizable biocompatible material, and the pipe including a flexible connection portion made from a sterilizable biocompatible material that is at least partially elastomeric. The fluid connector and the flexible connection portion of the pipe are assembled to one another, with the flexible connection portion of the pipe surrounding the rigid body, and the sleeve being shrunk tightly, but with free movement, on the pipe.

An assembly comprises a manifold configured to couple to a medical fluid cassette and a multi-lumen tube comprising a plurality of lumens within an outer wall of the multi-lumen tube. The manifold has a plurality of fluid connection ports and can be connected to the multi-lumen tube (e.g., via an adapter).
