Check valve assembly
An infusion set check valve assembly includes a self-contained housing that defines inlet ports and an outlet port. The assembly also includes at least one check valve disposed within the self-contained housing between the outlet channel and at least one of the inlet ports. The at least one check valve is configured to open for a first fluid to flow from a first inlet to a patient line via an outlet channel while a second fluid also flows from a second inlet to the patient line via the outlet channel. The at least one check valve closes to prevent the first fluid from flowing to the patient line via the outlet channel while the second fluid flows to the patient line.
Catheter with catheter hub
A catheter (1) comprising an elongate tubular body (2) having a proximal end (3), a distal end (4), and an inner lumen (5) extending through the elongate tubular body (2), wherein the elongate tubular body (2) comprises a proximal section (6) and a distal section (7), wherein at least the proximal section (6) comprises at least two layers, wherein the proximal end (3) is connected with a catheter hub (8) being an adapter of greater radial outside dimension than the elongate tubular body (2), wherein the catheter hub (8) has an inner lumen (9) of larger inside diameter than the elongate tubular body (2), and wherein the innermost layer (10) of the proximal section (6) extends into the catheter hub (8) and flares from the proximal section (6) to the catheter hub (8). The catheter ensures a smooth transition of a medical device, e.g. a stent to be transferred from a storage device like a sheath into the tubular body of the catheter.
Dual lumen dilator for use in transseptal punctures
A dilator assembly comprising an elongated body having a proximal end and a distal end, a first lumen extending along the body, a second lumen extending along the body so that it is a parallel to the first lumen, and a joint lumen disposed adjacent the distal end of the body, wherein both the first lumen and second lumen are in fluid communication with the joint lumen. A guidewire has a first end and a second end, and the first end of the guidewire is slidably received in the first lumen and the second end of the guidewire is slidably received in the second lumen.
APPARATUS FOR DELIVERING BIOPSY CAVITY MARKER
A marker delivery device including a handle assembly, a delivery catheter, and a connection interface. The handle assembly has an upper push rod positioned within the handle assembly. The upper push rod is adapted to translate inside the handle assembly. The delivery catheter is adapted to be inserted into a biopsy site. Also, the delivery catheter has a discharge opening containing a marker and the delivery catheter has a lower push rod positioned inside of the delivery catheter. The lower push rod is configured to engage the upper push rod and the lower push rod is adapted to deploy the marker from the delivery catheter into the biopsy site through the discharge opening with the translation of the upper push rod. The connection interface is configured to removably attach the handle assembly with the delivery catheter and the upper push rod with the lower push rod.
Connector and transfusion set
A connector provided with a housing which defines an insertion section into which a male connector is inserted from the outside and a flow path communicating with the insertion section and an elastic valve body which has a slit and blocks the insertion section. The housing includes a tip receiving section formed on an inner wall defining the flow path, the tip receiving section receiving a tip of the male connector inserted through the slit of the elastic valve body. The tip receiving section is formed on only a part of the inner wall in a cross section that is perpendicular to an insertion direction of the male connector and includes at least a part of the tip receiving section.
LUER CONNECTOR WITH ON-BOARD CONNECTION INDICATOR
A connector connection indicator is mounted in a Luer male connector, or in a Luer female connector, to indicate proper mating of the two Luer connectors. The connection indicator may be or include a light source, a sound producing device (e.g., buzzer), a switch, a tactile connection indicator or an electronic chip. The electronic chip may be interposed between two conductive elements that are mounted in the Luer female connector. When the two Luer connectors are properly engaged, the electronic chip is powered via two electrical terminals. While the electronic chip is powered up it communicates with an external system via two electrical terminals. The external system interprets the communication with the electronic chip as an indication to proper engagement of the two Luer connectors. Some of the connection indicators may be mounted on a circuit board that is embedded in a void in the Luer male connector.
Syringe-to-syringe coupler
A syringe-to-syringe coupling for facilitating the transfer of fluids or medications from a first syringe to a second syringe. In example embodiments, the coupling includes a centrally-positioned hub extending from a first end to a second end, and a fluid delivery conduit provided within the hub and extending between the first and second ends. In example forms, each end of the hub includes a male tip.
Universal Disinfecting Cap
A device for connection to a medical connector, the device includes a cap body, a coupling cylinder adapted to engage with a male luer connector and a female luer connector, a bulb compartment filled with air, a reagent compartment filled with disinfectant or an antimicrobial reagent, and a passageway connecting the bulb compartment to the reagent compartment. The reagent compartment includes an exterior wall surface, an interior wall surface, an array of resealable pores densely integrated throughout the exterior wall surface and the interior wall surface of the reagent compartment, and a distal tip. The passageway may be positioned in an aperture of the proximal wall of the cap body. The coupling cylinder may include an O-ring.
Syringe Actuated Stopcock Smart-Valve
A medical stopcock includes a main body having an input port and an output port, a valve body having a handle and a syringe port, with the valve body moveable relative to the main body and defining a valve passageway. The valve body includes a first position where the input port and the output port are in fluid communication via the valve passageway, a second position where the syringe port and the output port are in fluid communication via the valve passageway, and a third position where the syringe port and the input port are in fluid communication via the valve passageway. Rotation of the syringe port is configured to move the valve body relative to the main body.
Rotating Luer Connector
A medical connector includes a body, a first connector defining a longitudinal axis extending from a first end of the first connector to a second end of the first connector and a second connector secured to the body and in fluid communication with the first connector. The first connector is secured to and rotatable relative to the body about the longitudinal axis. The first connector includes a valve member and is configured to be secured to a syringe barrel. The valve member of the first connector having a sealed position and an open position. The valve member of the first connector is configured to move from the sealed position to the open position when a syringe barrel is secured to the first connector.
