Magnetic tubing holder
11596491 · 2023-03-07 · ·

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to a holder for medical tubing. Specific embodiments find particular use in managing reagent replacement tubes which are often used in connection with various types of types of laboratory equipment. In a specific example, one or more magnets are associated with the reagent tubing. The one or more magnets are used to secure the reagent tubing to a portion of the equipment stand or base, the drawer, or any other magnetically responsive surface.

Tube clamp

A tube holder includes a tube clamp having a housing and a clamping mechanism. The housing has a tube entry along a major surface thereof. A first tube passageway extends from the tube entry into the housing, and a tube receiving channel is coupled to the first tube passageway. The clamping mechanism comprises a lever handle user operable to transition from a first position to a second position. A gate is coupled to the lever handle, and a tube pinch is coupled to the lever handle. When a tube is peripherally inserted into the tube receiving channel and the lever handle of the clamping mechanism is in the second position, the gate prevents the tube from exiting the housing via the first tube passageway, and the tube pinch pinches the tube so as to prevent a flow of a fluid through the tube.

INFUSION LINE HARNESS

An infusion line harness includes a rectangular material with first and second anchor tabs opposing ends of a first longitudinal edge of the rectangular material such as to extend the first longitudinal edge of the material to include a length of the first and second anchor tabs. The rectangular material includes one or more first fasteners positioned on the rectangular material along the first longitudinal edge and one or more complimentary fasteners positioned along the second longitudinal edge and which are configured to connect to the one or more first fasteners, the first fasteners and second fasteners being positioned such that when connected to each other the rectangular material forms a tubular structure. The first and second anchor tabs each are configured to wrap around a respective object and fasten to itself, or to a respective portion of the rectangular material, to anchor the harness to the respective object.

Devices, systems, and methods for holding medical devices

A medical clip for holding a medical device. The medical clip includes a first jaw and a second jaw rotatably coupled to the first jaw, the first jaw and the second jaw being rotatable with respect to each other between a closed position and an open position; an elastomeric insert configured to be positioned between the first jaw and the second jaw. The elastomeric insert defining a cavity having a cavity depth that receives a medical device between the first jaw and the second jaw. In the closed position, a distal face of the first jaw and the second jaw define a distal opening configured to receive a portion of the medical device through the distal opening; and, a proximal face of the first jaw and the second jaw define a proximal opening configured to receive a second portion of the medical device through the proximal opening.

Infusion and blood collection devices and methods
11623038 · 2023-04-11 · ·

An infusion and blood collection device allows clean blood collections into a collection tube via a previously installed angiocatheter without interrupting the administration of intravenous therapies after initial installation. The device optionally includes passive control of the blood collection flow rate to prevent contamination of the collected blood draw with the IV therapy fluid being simultaneously infused through the angiocatheter. A blood collection method uses an infusion and blood collection device to draw a clean blood sample from a patient and into a collection tube via a previously installed angiocatheter without interrupting the administration of intravenous therapies.

Curved catheter and methods for making same

A pre-curved catheter tube of a catheter assembly or other elongate medical device and methods for forming such a device using a heating procedure is disclosed. Pre-curving of the catheter tube is desirable to impart to the catheter assembly a desired positional configuration when the catheter assembly is inserted into a patient. The heating procedure may include heat sterilization procedures commonly used to sterilize medical devices prior to use. One method for curving a catheter tube of a catheter assembly includes constraining the catheter tube into a curved configuration using the tube constraint, heating the catheter tube in the curved configuration for a predetermined time at a predetermined temperature, and releasing the catheter tube from the tube constraint after the heating is complete.

Infusion set improvements

A method and device for adjusting the unstored length of tubing directed to improving the use of infusion sets that deliver fluids to a user. The device includes a storage module and other features for adjusting, storing and securing the length of the tubing. The method of adjusting the length of the tubing to a desired length typically comprises removably attaching the tubing to the adjuster, adjusting the tubing by wrapping the tubing around a hub or post of the adjuster, and fixing the length of the unstored tubing by attaching the tubing to a securing device such as a friction structure or fastener.

Medical connectors having integrated adhesive backing

A holder for securing a venous access device to a patient may include a flexible substrate having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer perimetal surface. An adhesive layer may overlay the lower surface of the flexible substrate. The adhesive layer may have an adhesive for adhering to skin of the patient. The holder may further include a hydrophilic matrix integrated into at least a portion of the adhesive layer, at least one solvent reservoir disposed on the upper surface of the flexible substrate, and a connector secured to the outer perimetal surface. The connector may have a first end for connection to a needle assembly and a second end for connection to an IV fluid line.

Administration system, delivery device, and notification device for communicating status of a medical device

An administration system for delivery of a pharmaceutical composition to a patient has a delivery device configured to deliver a dose of the pharmaceutical composition to the patient and a notification device in communication with the delivery device. The notification device is configured to communicate information about a status of at least one property of the delivery device. The delivery device can be a wearable automatic injector configured to be worn on the patient's skin. The delivery device of the present disclosure may allow a user or the patient to view a status of a container. For example, the delivery device of the present disclosure may provide a simple and effective visual means of displaying fill confirmation and delivery confirmation.

Extension Leg Securement System
20230166078 · 2023-06-01 ·

An assembly including a catheter and an extension leg securement apparatus. The catheter includes a hub distally coupled to a catheter tube having two or more lumens. The hub is proximally coupled to two or more extension legs with each extension leg in fluid communication with one lumen. The extension leg securement apparatus includes an extension leg organizer configured to be detachably coupled to the two or more extension legs. The extension leg organizer can include a wire aperture and two or more channels arranged in a channel configuration, with each channel configured to receive one extension leg.
