Medical fluid connector
11298518 · 2022-04-12 · ·

A medical fluid connector, having a first body with a tube section with an inlet and a first thread, a second body with an outlet and a second thread that engages the first thread to move the first and second bodies between closed and opened positions. The second body has a third thread that is configured to rotate in the opposite direction in relation to said first and second threads. The connector has a closure cap with a fourth thread that, in a delivery state of the fluid connector, is detachably screwed to the third thread of the second body, wherein the fluid connector assumes the open position, and wherein the outlet is closed off in an air-permeable and liquid-tight manner by means of the closure cap.

Devices, systems, and methods for medical cleaning valves

A medical cleaning valve (or cleaning valve) may be configured to provide cleaning functionality to fluid (e.g., air and water) channels of an endoscope. Many embodiments described herein may include a cleaning valve (or valve) that is appropriate for single-use and therefore may be disposable. Accordingly, the valve may be made from a limited number of parts and materials, e.g., to limit its cost and/or manufacturing complexity. For example, multiple seals may be integrally formed with a valve stem. In another example, the valve may have an interface member, which may combine and simplify the functionality of a number of components, such as by connecting the valve stem to a valve well, sealing an opening to a lumen in the valve stem, and/or biasing the valve stem into a position relative to the valve well.

NEEDLELESS CONNECTOR HAVING CHECK VALVE WITH VALVE PIVOT SUPPORT

A needleless connector includes a housing having a central longitudinal axis, a body portion, and a base portion. The body portion includes an inner surface forming an internal cavity, and a first port forming a first fluid passage to the housing cavity. The base portion includes a top end section and a bottom end section. The top end section has a protrusion, and the bottom end portion has a second port forming a second fluid passage to the housing cavity. The needleless connector further includes a valve having a wall with an inner surface forming a valve cavity. The valve is coupled with the housing such that the protrusion is positioned in the valve cavity, and a proximal end of the protrusion is spaced apart from a proximal end of the valve cavity.

20220062540 · 2022-03-03 ·

“DILUTION AND DRIP CHAMBER”, for the preparation and administration of injectable solutions for use with a plastic bag (31) with open-and-close valve (33), infusion equipment (32) and syringe (28) with male luer-lock terminal (8); the chamber (30) comprises semi-rigid and transparent plastic tube sector (12), closed by top (16) and bottom (17) covers; on the wall surface (18) of the cover (16) there is an air filter (19) and tubular extension (35) with terminal (8) and cover (34); the tube sector (12) has volumetric scale (14); the bottom cover (17) have tubular extension (37) starting from the base wall (25) in which a conical base (46) of the valve (33) and female luer-lock terminal (45) is inserted; in the upper portion (42) of the outer body (41) of the cover (34) there are radial ribs (43); from the center of the cover (34) a hollow plastic tube (44) goes beyond the base of the cover (34), ending as terminal (45).

DRY DISCONNECT/BUBBLE FREE COUPLING FOR BLOOD TRANSFER
20220062617 · 2022-03-03 ·

A dry disconnect device including a first portion defining an outlet and an outlet portion of a fluid pathway and a female valve disposed within the first portion having an extended position, including the female valve being configured to seal the outlet portion, and a retracted position. A second portion defining an inlet and an inlet portion of the fluid pathway is lockingly engageable with the first portion. A male valve is disposed within the second portion including a male valve transition member configured to translate the male valve from an extended position to a retracted position including the male valve being configured to seal the inlet portion. The extended position of the male valve causes the female valve to transition from the extended position to the retracted position and causes the outlet portion and the inlet portion of the fluid pathway to be in fluid communication with each other.

System for dosing and dispensing medication

A system for medication delivery comprises a package containing a medication and a dosing device for delivering a dose of the medication, formulated as a multiparticulate, microspheres, a powder or a liquid. The package comprises a bottle, a bottle insert that covers a bottle opening and includes a dispense nozzle. The dispense nozzle is sealed using a valve that opens when the dosing device is engaged with the bottle. A closure covers the bottle insert and closes the bottle. The dosing device, similar to an oral syringe, comprises a barrel with a valve at a distal end of the barrel, a plunger and a dose control clip for attachment to the plunger. After the dosing device is connected to, the valve of the dispense nozzle, withdrawal of the plunger causes the dosing device to receive the dose of the medication, a user pushes the plunger which pushes the medication through the valve of the barrel and into a patient's mouth.
