In another aspect, the invention relates to a drug mixing and injection system (200) comprising the adapter of the first aspect of the invention, a vial and a reservoir with injectable liquid. In a further aspect, the invention relates to a method of preparing an injectable drug formulation by use of the drug mixing and injection system (200) of the above mentioned aspect of the invention comprising activation of the system and transferring an injectable liquid from the reservoir to the vial, mixing the drug and transfer the resulting injectable drug formulation back to the reservoir, bringing the valve to a second position and transferring the injectable drug formulation to the outlet port.

An infusion device includes an infusion pump and an infusion tube assembly. The infusion tube assembly includes a first tube body connected to the infusion pump, a tube joint structure having first, second and third tube joints, a second tube body, and a clamping device on the second tube body. The clamping device is to clamp the second tube body. An infusion method includes instructing the infusion pump to perform an infusion operation. When bubbles are detected in a liquid in the infusion tube assembly, the infusion pump is instructed to stop the infusion operation and a bubble alarm is generated. After the infusion pump stops the infusion operation, it is determined whether a pressure of the liquid first drops to a first pressure value and then rises to a second pressure value. If yes, a rinsing operation is performed.

A morselizer comprising (a) a hollow cylindrical structure with an inner wall and an outer wall and comprising a first end section, a second end section, and a center section extending axially between the first end section and the second end section providing a substantially axial liquid pathway therein; (b) wherein each end section comprises a axially and radially hollow luer fitting that is attachable to a structure with a complementarily sized luer fitting; and (c) one or more blades extending transversally across the inner diameter of the center section wherein (i) each blade is comprised of a plurality of ends, including a posterior end secured to at least the center wall section inner wall at a center section inner wall first position and an anterior end proximal a center section inner wall second position opposite the center section inner wall first position, with a gap positioned between the blade anterior end and the center section inner wall second position, and (ii) at least two ends comprise cutting ends.

A system for feeding and evacuation has a feeding tube in place into a subject's stomach cavity, having a Luer-Lock compatible female connector on an outboard end, a feed source, a unique Lopez valve having a conventional connector on one end and a male Luer-Lock connector on the other end in place of the conventional tapered connector, a suction tube coupled to a suction source, the suction tube having a connector compatible with the conventional connector of the conventional Lopez valve on an end away from the suction source. With the feeding tube connected to the feed source, nutrients are supplied to the subject through the feeding tube, and with the feed source disconnected, the body of the unique Lopez valve connected to the feed tube by the male Luer-Lock extension and to the suction tube, the subject's stomach cavity is exposed to suction controlled by the conventional Lopez valve.

An enteral feeding adapter suitable for use with a plurality of infusion sets includes an outer body component made of a flexible material and containing a feeding port for receipt of a distal connector of an infusion set. A rigid body insert is seated within an internal recess of the outer body component and defines a proximal section of the feeding port. The insert includes a first continuous radial seal barb that engages the flexible material of the outer body component, and a plurality of separate and circumferentially spaced radial second seal barbs distal to the first seal barb that engage the flexible material.

The assembly comprises: a stand for hanging a container of a main liquid, a spike, to be introduced into the container of main liquid, a multi-inlet connector with inlet tubings, to be connected to containers of additional liquids and to the container of main liquid through the spike, and an outlet tubing to be connected to a luer syringe to be introduced into a patient. The length of the spike inlet tubing of the connector has a length determined for, during use of the assembly with a container of main liquid, keeping the connector hung up on the stand through the spike and the container of main liquid. Thanks to the invention, the problem of the tubing traffic is solved.

A connector system (47, 48, 49, 50) for a medical application including a male single channel fluid connector (X) designed with an outer collar (M2) arranged concentric with an inner tube (3) and extending beyond a center collar (M1), and a female single channel fluid connector (Y) is designed with an outer collar (F1) arranged concentric with a tube (13), wherein the male single channel fluid connector (X) is interconnectable with the female single channel fluid connector (Y) to thereby form a fluid tight single channel connection for passage of fluid, and to a luer type female single channel fluid connector (YS), and wherein the female single channel fluid connector (Y) is interconnectable with a luer type male single channel fluid connector (XS). Also a system including a plurality of the connector systems is disclosed.

The present disclosure is directed to a device for delivering an antimicrobial composition into a medical device. Some embodiments disclosed herein provide a method for preventing infection and microbial ingress in medical device connections. The device includes a male connector with a distal tip and a recess at the distal tip. The surface of the recess includes an antimicrobial composition. In certain implementations a male luer comprises a tapered sealing member further comprising a recess containing chlorhexidine acetate.

A flow restriction device may include a male luer connector portion, a female luer connector portion disposed proximally to the male luer connector portion, and a body portion extending between the male and female luer portions, and integrally formed with the male and female luer portions to form a single monolithic piece. The male luer connector portion may have an internal surface defining a lumen thereof, and the female luer connector portion may have an internal surface defining a lumen fluidly connected to the lumen of the male luer connector portion. The body portion may have a recess extending longitudinally therethrough and fluidly communicated with the lumens of the male luer portion and the female luer portion. The recess may define a micro-channel along which fluid flows from the male luer connector portion into the fluid collection device via the female luer connector portion.
