Device for Fluidly Connecting a Medical Container to a Connector and Method for Manufacturing Said Device
20230256178 · 2023-08-17 ·

The device includes a housing, said housing defining an internal conduit for circulation of the medical fluid from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet,

a slider arranged inside the internal conduit such that the slider is movable along a central longitudinal axis A between an opening position, wherein the medical fluid is allowed to flow through the fluid outlet, and a closing position, wherein the medical fluid is prevented from flowing through said fluid outlet,

a plug connected to the slider said plug being configured to close the fluid outlet when the slider is in the closing position,

a resilient member disposed proximally to the plug and configured to exert a proximal force on said the slider such that the resilient member maintains the slider in the opening position,

a proximally oriented pressure area provided on an actuation member of the slider, said pressure area being configured to cause the slider to reach the closing position against the action of the resilient member when the medical fluid pressure exerted upon said pressure area is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, thereby causing the plug to close the fluid outlet.

Irrigation system with mechanical fluid pressure control
11324878 · 2022-05-10 · ·

An irrigation system for anal or stomal irrigation includes a tubing system attachable between a reservoir and a catheter. The tubing system has a proximal portion attachable to the reservoir and a distal portion including a distal end that is attachable to the catheter, with the tubing system providing an irrigation flow path from the proximal portion attachable to the reservoir through the distal end attachable to the catheter. A pump is operable to move the liquid through the irrigation flow path to provide the anal or stomal irrigation out of the catheter. A pressure control device is attachable to the distal portion of the tubing system and communicates with the catheter. The pressure control device has a valve that is adapted to limit an irrigation pressure for the anal or stomal irrigation out of the catheter to a value less than a pre-determined pressure threshold.

Catheter priming devices, systems and methods

A catheter priming apparatus may include a barrier forming a reservoir. Fluid may be disposed within the reservoir. A support structure may be disposed within the barrier. The support structure may include an opening extending through the support structure and a connector configured to couple the catheter priming apparatus to a catheter system. A one-way valve may be coupled to the support structure and configured to allow the fluid to flow out of the reservoir through the connector in response to compression of a portion of the barrier aligned with the opening.

Pressure-Driven Flow Rate Control Valves

A storage container having a base storage compartment configured to receive a divider by which the storage compartment is divided into two or more sub-compartments, wherein divider includes a tool configured to provide a secondary utility or function unrelated to dividing the storage compartment.

Two-way pressure relief valve for reservoir

A pressure relief valve for a reservoir has a main body with a central chamber defining an outer radial seat, a positive-pressure port with an inner radial seat, and a negative-pressure port comprising an internal passage spanning the outer seat. The sealing disk has an anchor body retained in the central chamber and a flexible diaphragm biased against the outer seat. An axial passage in the anchor body couples the central chamber to ambient atmospheric pressure. The sealing ball is biased against the inner seat. When a pressure inside the reservoir exceeds ambient by a positive-pressure threshold, then the sealing ball lifts off the inner radial seat to exhaust a gas through the positive-pressure port. When the pressure inside the reservoir is below ambient by a negative-pressure threshold, then the diaphragm is lifted off the outer seat to intake atmospheric gas into the reservoir.

CONNECTOR ADAPTED TO ATTACH AN IRRIGATION CATHETER TO TUBING OF AN ANAL OR STOMAL IRRIGATION SYSTEM
20220226561 · 2022-07-21 ·

A connector is disclosed that attaches an irrigation catheter to tubing of an anal or stomal irrigation system. The connector has a housing, a pressure control device retained within the housing, and a restriction element. The pressure control device has an inlet channel on a distal side of the pressure control device communicating along an irrigation flow path with an outlet channel on a proximal side of the pressure control device, and a secondary outlet located between the inlet channel and the outlet channel and in communication with the irrigation flow path. The restriction element is inserted into the secondary outlet.

Adjustable Medium Diverter

A system for delivering an amount of fluid medium includes an injector, a delivery catheter and a pulsatile generator. The injector is configured for injecting the fluid medium during an injection cycle. The delivery catheter includes a conduit for delivering the fluid medium. The pulsatile generator is configured to apply a pulsatile force on the fluid medium delivered through the delivery catheter at a pulsation frequency. The pulsatile force is defined by a plurality of duty cycles during the injection cycle, each of the plurality of duty cycles including a first flow level and a second flow level that is lower than the first flow level. The pulsation frequency is 3 or more duty cycles per second.
