A medical device connector includes a fluid transfer tip including a tapered surface for creating a friction fitting between the fluid transfer tip and a hub. A separable collar includes a first and second arcuate segments. The second segment includes an engagement feature for engaging with a corresponding engagement feature of a hub. A moveable disconnection member is arranged such that movement of the disconnection member moves the second segment of the separable collar from a first closed collar configuration position, to a second position, corresponding to an open collar configuration, in which the second segment is moved relative to the fluid transfer tip and the first segment, so as to allow disengagement of the engagement feature from the corresponding engagement feature. Movement of the disconnection member also releases the friction fitting between the fluid transfer tip and the hub.

In one implementation, the stopper includes a rigid casing having a shape adapted to fit within a barrel of the drug delivery device; electronics disposed and sealed within the rigid casing; and an elastomeric seal disposed around at least a dispensing end of the rigid casing and a side of the rigid casing. The electronics include a power source and at least one of a transducer or a sensor coupled to the power source. The elastomeric seal comprises a single continuous material.

PEN NEEDLE ASSEMBLY

A pen needle assembly includes an adapter (32, 122, 190, 254, 312) and a needle hub (134, 124, 192, 256, 314) coupled to the adapter. The needle hub is removable from the adapter. The adapter has a distal end for coupling with a pen needle delivery device and a distal end with at least one coupling member for coupling with the needle hub. The needle hub is a distal face forming a skin contact surface and a cannula extending from the distal face. The proximal end of the needle hub includes a coupling member for removably coupling with the coupling member of the adapter.

VALVED NEEDLE ASSEMBLY
20210138162 · 2021-05-13 · ·

A valved needle assembly including a needle hub provided to a proximal end side of a hollow needle, and a valve member incorporated therein for blocking communication with the hollow needle. A protrusion protrudes from a distal end side toward a proximal end side inside the needle hub and the valve member blocks the proximal end side of the protrusion inside the needle hub. A central valve part of the valve member having a slit moves toward the protrusion such that the slit is opened and placed in communication by the protrusion. The central valve part includes a distal end tubular part and a proximal end tubular part extending from its outer circumferential portion toward the distal end side and the proximal end side respectively.

Ultra-low waste needle and syringe system that automatically and passively renders a needle safe during the injection process

A needle and syringe system that provides ultra-low dosage waste and automatic needlestick protection. A syringe assembly is provided that contains a barrel and a plunger. A tubular spacer is disposed in the barrel. A needle head assembly is provided that includes a collar and a needle. A safety slide is positioned between the needle and the collar.
