A drip chamber (1) for administering a medical fluid, comprises a chamber element (30) forming a chamber (300), an inlet (20) for letting a medical fluid into the chamber (300), and a connector (31) connected to the chamber element (30) at an outlet of the drip chamber (1). A tube (4) is connectable to the connector (31) for letting the medical fluid out of the chamber (300). Herein, the connector (31) is formed in one piece on the chamber element (30) by using injection molding, wherein the chamber element (30) is formed from a first material and the connector (31) is formed from a second material which is different from the first material. In this way a drip chamber is provided which allows for an easy, cost-efficient production and at the same time is easily squeezable and may provide a reliable, durable connection to a tube.

The invention disclosed herein generally relates to matrices comprising polymers and methods for preparing them.

A system for filtering or treating blood of a subject is provided herein. The system includes a bone port for establishing fluid communication with a bone marrow of the bone and a return port for returning blood from the bone marrow to a circulation of the subject. The system further includes a blood treatment or filtering device interposed between the bone and return ports thereby establishing a mini-circulatory system.

Drip chamber inserts including an elongate body portion for coupling to a drip chamber and including an outlet orifice of the drip chamber insert. The drip chamber inserts may further include first and second chambers, the first chamber may be disposed in the elongate body portion and fluidly coupled to an inlet orifice and to the outlet orifice. An anti-run-dry membrane may extend over the inlet orifice. The second chamber may be disposed in the elongate body portion, and a low flowrate orifice may extend from a base of the second chamber into a base portion for fluidly coupling the second chamber with the outlet orifice.

The device for separating bubbles from an injectable drug is disclosed, which prevents the bubbles from entering a blood vessel when the injectable solution is delivered to a vein. This device improves the stability of the injectable solution when administered to a human body, and the device is easily added to a conventional infusion or injectable solution sets, thereby improving user convenience and efficiency.

The invention disclosed herein generally relates to matrices comprising polymers and methods for preparing them.

Filters for use with fluid infusion devices are disclosed herein. According to some embodiments, the present technology includes a system for delivering a fluid medication to a patient at an infusion site, the system comprising a fluid conduit configured to transport a fluid medication along at least a portion of a fluid path extending between a reservoir containing the fluid medication and a cannula subcutaneously inserted in a patient at an infusion site, and a filter disposed within the fluid conduit and configured to trap particulates that form in the fluid medication, wherein the filter comprises a porous structure including glycerin.

An apparatus for filtering amniotic fluid containing particulate matter and amniotic cells is disclosed, comprising a filter for filtering the particulate matter from the amniotic fluid, a chamber enclosing the filter, wherein the chamber comprises a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, and an inlet connector arranged to form a sealing connection between the fluid inlet and an amniotic fluid sample source, wherein, in use, the amniotic fluid pass the filter when flowing from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, whereby particulate matter is deposited on the filter and the amniotic fluid flows through the fluid outlet containing amniotic cells.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to techniques, processes, devices or systems for pump devices for providing a fixed volume of fluid, which is delivered and refilled within one pumping cycle. In one approach, a wearable drug delivery device may include a reservoir configured to store a liquid drug, and a drive mechanism coupled to the reservoir for receiving the liquid drug. The drive mechanism may include a housing defining a chamber, the housing including an inlet valve operable to receive the liquid drug and an outlet valve operable to expel the liquid drug from the chamber, and a resilient sealing member within the chamber. The drive mechanism may further include a shape memory wire coupled to the resilient sealing member, wherein the shape memory wire is operable to bias the resilient sealing member within the chamber.
