A device for connecting first and second medical fluid flow systems includes a linear movement carriage system that is positioned within a housing. The carriage system includes first and second connector holders configured to hold first and second connectors of the first and second medical fluid flow systems, respectively. A coupler holder is configured to hold a coupler and is positioned substantially between the first and second connector holders. The first and second connector holders and the coupler holder are relatively moveable between a separated configuration, where the first and second connectors and the coupler are located in relatively spaced apart positions, and a joined configuration, where the first and second connectors engage the coupler. An ultraviolet light source is positioned in the housing so as to irradiate first and second connectors and the coupler. A drive system transitions the first and second connector holders and the coupler holder between the separated and the joined configurations.

A second part (3) comprises a second outer connector (3a) and a second inner connector (3b) disposed within the second outer connector (3a). One of the first and second outer connectors 2a, 3a) is configured as a male part comprising a first tapered body with a bore extending therethrough and the other of the first and second outer connectors (2a, 3a) is configured as a female part with a first conical bore adapted to receive the first tapered body and sealingly engage therewith to define an outer lumen (4). The first and second inner connectors are configured in a similar manner to define an inner lumen (5) disposed within the outer lumen (4).

Universal Single-Use Cap For Male And Female Connectors

A device for connection to a medical connector, the device includes an outer cap, an inner cap and a peelable seal. The outer cap configured to define a chamber to contain an absorbent material and disinfectant or antimicrobial agent. The outer cap including one or more threads adapted to engage with a female luer connector. The inner cap including one or more thread-tabs adapted to engage a male luer connector. The peelable seal prevents the disinfectant or the antimicrobial agent from exiting the chamber.

An infusion device for the passage of fluids to or from a patient via a syringe. The infusion device includes a valve assembly and a coupling apparatus. The coupling apparatus comprises a coupler, a first gland, a cannula, a second gland, and an inlet. The coupling apparatus defines a central lumen for the passage of fluids in an open configuration. The inlet may be coupled to a syringe.

Universal Caps for Medical Connectors

A cap configured to engage different types of connectors includes a housing, an absorbent support, and a seal. The housing includes a sidewall extending between a first end and a second end of the housing. The absorbent support is positioned in the housing. The seal is mounted to a portion of the absorbent support and is configured to cover an opening of a first connector or a second connector when one of the first connector or the second connector is inserted into the housing. The cap is configured to be secured to the first connector by an engagement between a portion of an inner surface of the sidewall of the housing and the first connector and to the second connector by an interference engagement between another portion of the inner surface of the sidewall of the housing and an outer surface of the second connector.

MULTIPLE DRESSING NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY SYSTEM

Embodiments described herein relate to apparatuses, systems, and methods for the treatment of wounds, for example using multiple wound dressings in combination with negative pressure wound therapy. A negative pressure would therapy apparatus can include a negative pressure source and a controller. The negative pressure source can include inlets configured to couple via fluid flow paths to wound dressings. The fluid flow paths can include pressure sensors configured to measure pressure in the fluid flow paths. The pressure sensors can include a first pressure sensor configured to measure pressure in the first fluid flow path and a second pressure sensor configured to measure pressure in the second fluid flow path. The controller can be configured to operate the negative pressure source and provide, based on measured pressure, indication of at least one operating condition associated with at least one of the fluid flow paths.

Fluid line connector device
11779749 · 2023-10-10 · ·

A cap for a fluid line connector having a male luer lock fitting, the cap having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the cap comprising a barrier and a stopper extending axially from the barrier towards the first side of the cap. The barrier defines a keyway centred on a longitudinal axis. The shape of the keyway is configured to permit a correspondingly-shaped female luer lock fitting to pass axially therethrough to engage the male luer lock fitting of the fluid line connector. The stopper is configured to prevent rotation of the correspondingly-shaped female luer lock fitting in the first circumferential direction when a lug of the correspondingly-shaped female luer lock fitting is circumferentially aligned with the stopper.
