A flow control device includes a housing having a primary valve body defining a primary inlet and an outlet, a secondary valve body defining a secondary inlet, and a chamber defined by an inner circumferential surface of the housing and fluidly connecting the primary and secondary inlets with the outlet. The primary and secondary inlets share a common central axis perpendicularly disposed to a central axis of the outlet. A valve member is reciprocally mounted in the chamber to block fluid communication between the secondary inlet and the outlet when fluid pressure into the primary inlet is higher than fluid pressure into the secondary inlet, and) block fluid communication between the primary inlet and the outlet when fluid pressure into the secondary inlet is higher than fluid pressure into the primary inlet.

A disposable dental valve device has a valve body having a tip receiving end, a hose receiving end, a lumen formed between the tip receiving end and the hose receiving end, a first partial opening formed in the valve body and a second partial opening formed in the valve body, and a movable valve sealing device adapted to being inserted into one of the partial openings, the movable valve sealing device having an opening for alignment with the lumen formed between the tip receiving end and the hose receiving end, the movable valve sealing device having a check valve positioned in the opening, and the movable valve sealing device having a top for positioning the movable valve sealing device between a closed position and an opened position.

An injection syringe for injecting a first injectable product into a body injection site of an individual, includes a first barrel containing a first product, a first syringe barrel containing the first injectable product, a first plunger displaceably mounted in the first syringe barrel; a hollow needle to be inserted into the body injection site; an adapter connected to the first syringe barrel and the needle, and a verification device to ensure that, when the first injectable product is injected, the hollow needle is not introduced into a blood vessel. The verification device includes a second syringe barrel containing a second product and connected to the adapter and a second plunger displaceably mounted in the second syringe barrel to cause a depression at the distal end of the hollow needle.

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.

A collection device and a collection process provide the capability of receiving secretions, which have been suctioned out of a patient (P). A collecting unit including a bag (3) and a cover (2) encloses a collecting unit interior space (In1). The suctioned secretions flow through a patient-side fluid connection and through a patient-side port (4) in the cover into the collecting unit interior space. A backflow barrier includes a blocking body, which is fastened to a surface of the cover of the collecting unit interior space. In a blocking state, the blocking body closes the patient-side port. A restoring force generator exerts a restoring force on the blocking body, to hold the backflow barrier in the blocking state. A flow of secretions through the patient-side port into the collecting unit interior space brings about a transference of the backflow barrier into a flow stat e against the restoring force.

A vacuum aspiration system may be used to treat thromboembolic disease, such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. The system includes a housing, and a fluid flow path extending through the housing. A first catheter is in fluid communication with the flow path, and a connector is configured to place a source of aspiration in communication with the flow path. A clot container is carried by the housing. A hemostasis valve is provided in the housing, and configured to receive a second catheter and direct the second catheter through the first catheter.

A medical connector can include a body having a fluid path with an inlet port, an outlet port, a luer portion, and a post extending through a fluid path. An arm having a latch member is coupled to the body to engage a ridge or thread on an exterior surface of a reciprocal connector. The arm may also include an extension. When the connector is in an open position, the latch member restricts retraction of the reciprocal connector from the outlet port. A seal is coupled to the body and includes a flap extending across the outlet port or a bellows to compress along an axis. In a closed position, the post restricts flow through the luer portion. In an open position, the post permits flow through the luer portion.

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods that are configured to be implanted within a patient. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include a catheter configured to implant within the intraperitoneal space of the patient, an interior flow lumen, and at least one opening connected to the interior flow lumen for therapeutic agent delivery.

The invention relates to an in-utero ventriculoamniotic shunting device that includes a composite shunt tube composed of polymer material, e.g., silicone-based material, and metallic wire, having a bend or curve formed in the length of the shunt tube, with one or more anchors composed of super-elastic wire or mesh, e.g., shape memory alloy wire or mesh structures, attached to the shunt tube, and a one-way passive valve composed of a thin polymer membrane. The anchors are effective to prevent migration and dislodgement of the shunting device following its deployment, and the valve is effective to prevent the backflow of amniotic fluid.

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.
