An intravenous fluid bag comprising: a primary chamber configured to retain a liquid; a valve in fluid communication with the primary chamber, the valve including a housing, a spike element, and a seal, with the housing surrounding the seal, which surrounds the spike element; the spike element having a first end culminating in a tip, a second end having an inner conduit, and one or more through holes between the tip and the second end in fluid communication with the inner conduit forming part of a continuous liquid passageway in fluid communication with the primary chamber; the seal having a relaxed state preventing fluid flow through the valve, and the seal having a compressed state through which the through holes of the spike element extend allowing fluid flow from a source external the intravenous fluid bag, through the through holes, through the inner conduit, and into the primary chamber.

The invention relates in particular to a device (100) for collecting a sample of a liquid in a container, characterized in that it has: a housing (10) with a longitudinal axis (AL); a component (20, 20′, 20″) comprising: a body (26) provided with at least one channel (21) having a proximal end (21p) and a distal end (21d); a receptacle (24) fixed with respect to the body (26) and situated in the continuation of the proximal end (21p) of said at least one channel (21), said component (20) being mounted rotatably with respect to the housing (10) about the longitudinal axis of this housing (10) between a closure position, in which the distal end (21d) of said at least one channel (21) is closed by the housing (10), and an open position, in which the distal end (21d) of said at least one channel (21) is able to establish a fluidic communication with the container; and an elastic valve (30) housed in the receptacle (24).

An adapter assembly for establishing bidirectional fluid connection between a cartridge and a vial includes a housing having an open first end adapted to engage the cartridge and a second open end adapted to engage the vial. The adapter includes a needle assembly having a first tip and a second tip, with the needle assembly disposed within the housing and at least partially supported by a needle holder. The needle assembly is movable relative to the housing from an initial position in which the first and second tip are isolated from the cartridge and vial, to an end of use position, in which first tip is engaged with the vial and the second tip is engaged with the cartridge, establishing fluid communication therebetween. The needle assembly is maintained in the initial position by a locking structure which is released by rotationally advancing the needle holder relative to the housing.

An infusion adapter for connection with an infusion fluid container includes a connection portion configured to engage an injection port of an infusion fluid container, and a port configured to connect to an intravenous line, with the port in fluid communication with the connection portion. The connection portion includes a retaining ring extending radially outward from the connection portion, with the retaining ring configured to securely connect the infusion adapter to the infusion fluid container to substantially prevent disconnection of the infusion adapter from the infusion fluid container once the infusion adapter is connected to the infusion fluid container. The retaining ring includes an indicator configured to provide visualization of insertion of the connection portion into an injection port of an infusion fluid container.

A bone fragment and osteomedullary tissue harvesting system that includes a harvesting device, a collection vessel and tubing. The harvesting device includes a needle portion and a handle portion. The needle portion that has a needle bore that extends through at least part of the needle portion. The handle portion is operably attached to the needle portion. The handle portion includes a connection port and a vacuum control mechanism that are in communication with a handle bore that extends through the handle portion. The needle bore is in communication with the handle bore. The vacuum control mechanism includes a vacuum aperture that extends through a surface of the handle portion and is in communication with the handle bore. The collection vessel is capable of receiving aspirated bone fragments and tissue. The tubing operably connects the connection port and the collection vessel.

A bioprocess vessel includes a flexible bag or substantially rigid container that defines an interior volume and having a bottom surface, the bottom surface being open or containing an aperture therein for the passage of fluid. A pump is secured to the bottom surface of the flexible bag or substantially rigid container. In some embodiments is secured directly to the flexible bag or substantially rigid container. In other embodiments, the pump is secured indirectly the flexible bag or substantially rigid container using, for example, a port that extends through the aperture on the bottom surface. The port or flanged surface may also be integrated into the pump, which is secured to the vessel. An optional mixing adaptor may be provided inside the interior volume of the flexible bag or substantially rigid container and at least partially covers the inlet that leads to the pump.

A system having a syringe and a connector. A proximal end of an outer housing of the connector is a specially designed female Luer element. A distal end of an outer housing of the connector is configured to connect the syringe to a component of a fluid transfer apparatus. The syringe and the connector are configured to be joined together such that they can be swiveled relative to each other around their common longitudinal axis. Once connected together, any attempt to twist the syringe or connector relative to each other in either a counterclockwise direction or a clockwise direction will result in endless swiveling about their common longitudinal axis. In other words, once the system is connected together, the syringe cannot be disconnected from the connector.

A container, in particular an ampule, of a plastic material has a container part (10) for receiving the contents of a container (14) to be dispensed via a container opening (12). Opening (12) is closed by a head part (18) that can be separated along a separation line (16). The head part (18) is adjoined by a neck part (20), which has a plurality of different functional surfaces on the inner circumference. One functional contact surface (44) is used to seal against a withdrawal body (32), which is provided for withdrawing the contents of a container (14) when the container opening (12) is opened. A lead-in area (50) is provided as a further functional surface on the interior of the neck part (40) and differs geometrically from the functional contact surface (44). The lead-in area (50) seamlessly merges into the functional contact surface (44). The lead-in area (50) and the functional contact surface are located between the other functional surfaces in the neck part (20).

The present invention is comprised in the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacturing of medical supplies, particularly focusing on containers for the artificial feeding of enteral feeding products through a tube. In particular, the present invention relates to a closure cap for a container for supplying enteral feeding products by means of the drive of a drive head, and it also relates to a drive head that can be coupled to the cap for driving the supply of enteral feeding products contained in a container, and in turn to a drive system formed by said cap and drive head.
