COUPLING DEVICE FOR MEDICAL TUBING
A coupling device that can removably couple medical tubing with a mating connector is disclosed and can include a housing and an inner body movable to different orientations, where an orientation is configured to resist separation of the coupling device and mating connector, and another orientation is configured such that resistance to separation from the mating connector is reduced, where any of the housing and the inner body can be moved relative to each other, and where the coupling device can permit separation of the coupling device and mating connector when a portion of the coupling device is moved, biased, and/or flexed when the coupling device and the mating connector are moved in directions away from each other, and where the coupling device can be re-coupled with a mating connector after separation of the coupling device and the mating connector.
In-Line Sampling Apparatus for Bodily Fluids
A drainage liquid sampling system is disclosed and includes a connector couplable with a drainage tube of a drainage system, the connector defining an inlet port, an outlet port, and a sample port, where the inlet port, the outlet port, and the sample port are in fluid communication with each other, and a sample container couplable with the sample port. A valve within the connector selectively allows and prevents flow of drainage liquid into the sample container. A cap couplable to the sample container also includes a valve. A system for draining liquid from a patient includes the drainage liquid sampling system.
Prepackaged needleless intravenous tubing with in-line disinfectant port caps
A prepackaged needleless intravenous line assembly is provided as well as a method of delivering intravenous medication and/or fluid to a patient while maintaining sterility of needleless access ports. The pre-packaged needleless intravenous line assembly is a sterile intravenous line with at least one sterile access port, each access port having a disinfection cap installed thereon, sealed within a pouch with at least one strip of multiple sealed disinfection caps. An intravenous tubing kit, having sterile intravenous tubing with capped sterile access ports as well as sealed replacement disinfection caps, is removed from the package and attached to a patient's intravenous catheter. A disinfection cap is removed from the sterile access port. Medication and/or fluid is administered into the access port. A replacement disinfection cap is installed onto the access port.
Contact protection apparatus for a medical fluid-conducting cassette and cassette
The present disclosure relates to a contact protection apparatus for covering connection point(s) of a medical fluid-conducting cassette used for a medical treatment. The contact protection apparatus includes at least one covering section for covering the connection point before the use of the cassette, and at least one connection section for detachably connecting the contact protection apparatus or for holding the contact protection apparatus on the cassette. It further relates to a medical fluid-conducting cassette with a contact protection apparatus.
Sanitizing caps for medical connectors
Antiseptic caps that can be used to disinfect and/or protect medical connectors are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the antiseptic cap can include a first chamber configured to be removably attached to the medical connector. Delivery systems for use with medical articles are also disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the delivery system comprises various dispensing systems for antiseptic caps and/or antiseptic cap holder assemblies. In some embodiments, the delivery system can be configured to permit the medical articles to be individually removable from the delivery system.

APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY
Disclosed herein are several embodiments of a negative pressure appliance and methods of using the same in the treatment of wounds. Some embodiments are directed to improved fluidic connectors or suction adapters for connecting to a wound site, for example using softer, kink-free conformable suction adapters.
FLUID LINE CONNECTOR DEVICE
A one-piece fluid line connector for connecting a fluid feed line to a fluid container includes a main body having a male luer lock fitting, and a cap coupled to the main body by a living hinge. The living hinge is configured such that the cap is moveable to an aligned position in which the cap is aligned with a central axis of the male luer lock fitting of the main body. The cap includes a through-hole configured such that, in the aligned position, the shape of the through-hole permits a correspondingly-shaped female luer lock fitting to pass therethrough and engage the male luer lock fitting.
