A modular syringe assembly can include: a tubular syringe barrel having a proximal end and a distal end, the tubular syringe barrel defining a longitudinal axis; a plunger slidable within the tubular syringe barrel; and a cap assembly including a stopper portion and a Luer tip, the stopper portion receivable in the distal end of the tubular syringe barrel, the stopper portion defining a vent window. The cap assembly can be slidable within the tubular syringe barrel along the longitudinal axis between a sealed position where the vent window is covered by the tubular syringe barrel to prevent venting between the cap assembly and the tubular syringe barrel, and a vented position where the vent window forms a vent between the cap assembly and the tubular syringe barrel. Other features and methods are also described.

A flow control device may include a housing having a primary valve body defining a primary inlet and an outlet of the flow control device, a secondary valve body defining a secondary inlet of the flow control device, and a chamber defined by an inner circumferential surface of the housing. The primary and secondary inlets may share a common central axis, and a central axis of the outlet may be perpendicularly disposed relative to the common central axis. The chamber may extend between the primary and secondary valve bodies for fluidly connecting the primary and secondary inlets with the outlet. The flow control device may further include a valve member reciprocally mounted in the chamber to (i) 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 (ii) 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 medical device for delivering a material using a pressurized fluid includes an enclosure having a first chamber and a second chamber separated by a membrane, and an outlet, and a pin configured to move within the enclosure between a first position and a second position, where a proximal end of the pin blocks the outlet when the pin is in the first position.

A system for intravascular oxygenation may include a catheter shaft, a vibratory member, and an oxygen source. The catheter shaft may have a wall that extends from a proximal end to a distal end along a longitudinal axis to form a lumen. The distal end may terminate in an atraumatic tip that seals off an interior space of the lumen from an adjacent exterior space. The distal end may include a coiled spring whose coils are tightly disposed against adjacent coils. The vibratory member may be configured to produce and transmit via the wall, to the coiled spring, mechanical vibration or high-frequency acoustic energy. The oxygen source may be configured to be coupled to the proximal end and to deliver a flow of oxygen to an interior space for communication to the exterior space, through gaps that exist or are created between adjacent coils of the coiled spring.

“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).

A portable medical spray includes a tubular body, and a canister is located in the room. A needle is located in the room and a nozzle is formed to the top end of the body. The nozzle has a passage defined therethrough and the passage communicates with the room and the needle. A holding portion is formed to outside of the body. A connection portion extends from the bottom end of the body. The canister has medicine received therein and a breakable portion is formed to the top end of the canister and located corresponding to the needle. An end part is movable movably mounted to the connection portion. When a user pushes the end part to move the canister toward the needle, the needle penetrates through the breakable portion of the canister to release the medicine via the needle.

This purge device comprises a connection element comprising a plurality of fluid flow channels which each comprise a proximal end, intended to be connected fluidically to a respective fluid flow conduit of a flow tube, and a distal end opposite the respective proximal end, and a plurality of fluid flow openings which are each connected fluidically to a respective fluid flow channel; a closure element comprising a fluid evacuation opening and a closure part, the closure element being mounted movably with respect to the connection element and being configured to occupy a plurality of closure positions, in each of which the closure part closes the distal end of a fluid flow channel and the fluid evacuation opening is connected fluidically to the fluid flow opening associated with the fluid flow channel, of which the distal end is closed by the closure part; and a connection nozzle intended to be connected to a catheter.

A syringe propellable by propellant that boils at a predetermined temperature, the syringe including a barrel having an outlet at a front end, and a stopper axially moveable in the barrel. The stopper separates a first chamber and a second chamber, the first chamber being axially forwards of the stopper and being configured for containing a medicament, and the second chamber being axially rearwards of the stopper and being configured to receive propellant for acting on the stopper to move the stopper axially forwardly in the barrel to expel medicament through the outlet upon actuation of the syringe. The syringe further includes a third chamber for containing propellant. Upon actuation of the syringe, liquid propellant is released from the third chamber and boils outside of the third chamber at or above the predetermined temperature to provide an increasing vapor pressure in the second chamber that causes the stopper to move axially forwardly and begin to expel medicament through the outlet. At least one trigger for triggering an action is provided, the trigger activated in response to the pressure in the second chamber satisfying a predetermined condition.

One embodiment is directed to a system for injecting, comprising a syringe body defining an interior medicine chamber; a stopper member configured to be inserted into the interior medicine chamber to contain medicine within the medicine chamber; a plunger member configured to be manually manipulated to insert the stopper member relative to the syringe body; and a needle having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end comprising an anchoring geometry configured to be at least partially inserted into the stopper member such that upon retraction of the stopper member, the needle is pulled proximally along with the stopper to be at least partially contained within the interior medicine chamber.

A needle-free connector including a guiding base, a connecting base, a valve member, and a seal member is provided. The guiding base has a conduit, and the conduit extends downward along an axial direction. The connecting base is disposed on the guiding base and has a screw portion and a passage running through the screw portion. A chamber is formed between the guiding base and the connecting base, and the conduit and the passage respectively communicate with the chamber along the axial direction. The valve member is disposed between the guiding base and the connecting base, and is movably located in the chamber. The seal member is disposed at an end of the valve member far away from the conduit, and the seal member and the valve member are adapted to be connected into a whole in a manufacturing process.
