The invention relates to a unit (1) for an apparatus (2) for connecting and disconnecting a tubular fitting (24) to a connector (14), comprising a body (16) having:—a first receptacle (18) and a second receptacle (20), wherein each of said receptacles is configured for holding an end cap (22) of the tubular fitting (24), and—a connector holder (26) configured for accommodating insertion of the connector (14); wherein the unit (1) comprises a capsule (290) that is configured to be connected to said body (16) in a releasable fashion, wherein said capsule (290) comprises said second receptacle (20).

A package for a medical device such as an intermittent catheter has a case with open and closed ends. A hinge connects a cap to the case to permit movement of the cap between open and closed positions. A seal connected to one of the cap and case is engageable with the other to maintain a sterile environment inside the package. The seal can be repeatedly made and broken whenever the user closes or opens the cap. The case includes a pair of slots at the open end. A pair of latches is formed in the cap. The latches fit into the slots to prevent lateral forces from distorting the cap when the cap is closed. A first use indication label spans a depression in the outer contour of a closed cap and case, assuring visual confirmation of breach of the label upon first opening of the cap.

A connector assembly for a medical ventilator including a housing having a plurality of ports including an intervention port disposed and structured to introduce an intervention device into said housing and a patient airway. The plurality of ports also include a ventilator port and an airway port respectively disposed and structured to connect a ventilator and an artificial airway in fluid communication with one another. A valve structure is movably and removably disposed within a valve port and is disposable between open and closed positions. The closed position comprising the intervention port sealed from fluid communication with the housing and a closed ventilator circuit defining fluid communication between the ventilator port and the airway port. The open orientation comprising the intervention port disposed in communicating relation with the airway port concurrent to fluid communication between the ventilator port and the airway port.

An apparatus for occluding the inflow conduit of a ventricular assist device comprising a plug body, a plug surface, and a plug cap. The plug cap is configured to extend around an external surface of the cylindrical body of the plug body. The plug cap may be removeably connected to the plug body.

A device is provided for shielding a fluid access port structure that is located along tubing that is part of an intravenous (IV) medication delivery system and is configured to permit injection of a fluid into the tubing. The device includes a body having a hollow interior and a first opening formed therein for receiving the fluid access port structure such that a side wall of the body surrounds and extends above the fluid access port structure. The body also includes a second opening through which a fluid delivery member can be inserted to allow mating between the fluid delivery member and the fluid access port structure for delivering the fluid into the tubing.

A syringe for dispensing a flowable material. The syringe has a cartridge with a cartridge front end and at least a first dispensing nozzle arranged at the cartridge front end. The syringe further has closure for openably closing the first dispensing nozzle. The closure includes a cap and at least a first seal. The cap is telescopically placeable on the cartridge front end. The closure or the cartridge has a first magnet for establishing a magnetic attraction between the closure and the cartridge. In a situation in which the closure is placed on the cartridge front end, the closure and the cartridge can be positioned in a sealing position in which the first seal spaces the cap and the cartridge front end away from each other against a magnetic attraction that urges the cap and the cartridge toward each other.

Proposed is a stopcock that enables natural injection of a drug and prevents backflow of a drug injected in another direction on a body. The stopcock includes: a body formed in a passage shape connecting a drug solution injection pipe and a supply pipe to each other; and a backflow prevention unit having a first end coupled to a side of the body between the drug solution injection pipe and the supply pipe and a second end extending toward an inside of the body to isolate the drug solution injection pipe and the supply pipe from each other, in which the second end of the backflow prevention unit bends toward the inside of the body and guides movement of a drug when the drug is injected through the drug solution injection pipe, and elastically moves to an initial position when injection of the drug is stopped.
