US Classification:

60416401, 60417001

Abstract:

A novel self-blunting needle apparatus ( ) employs a blunting member ( ) and a needle ( ). The blunting member ( ) may be disposed within the needle ( ) and may be adapted for fluid flow therethrough. The needle ( ) may then be inserted into a patients tissue and the blunting member ( ) may be extended to blunt the apparatus. In other embodiments, e. g. , apparatus ( ), a driver ( ) may be employed to move the blunting member ( ) without obstructing fluid flow. There may be a locking spline ( ) and cam channel ( ) configuration to prevent backward motion of the blunting member ( ) in various embodiments. A hollow body ( ) is configured to facilitate assembly.

Assignee:

ICU Medical INC. - San Clemente CA

International Classification:

F16L 35/00

US Classification:

285 38

Abstract:

A connector includes gripping features. The gripping features can comprise two surfaces that generally oppose each another. Each surface can be configured to facilitate or hamper rotation of the connector in a direction. Some embodiments can hamper tightening and facilitate loosening of the connector. Other embodiments can facilitate tightening and hamper loosening. Still other embodiments can hamper both tightening and loosening. Yet other embodiments can facilitate both tightening and loosening.

Inventors:

John M. Seifert - Coventry CT, US
Thomas F. Fangrow - Mission Viejo CA, US

International Classification:

A61J 1/12
B23P 17/04

US Classification:

604405, 604403, 604414, 29428

Abstract:

In certain embodiments, a vial adaptor for removing liquid contents from a vial comprises a piercing member and a bag. The bag can be contained within the piercing member such that the bag is introduced to the vial when the vial adaptor is coupled with the vial. In some embodiments, the bag expands within the vial as liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, thereby regulating pressure within the vial. In other embodiments, a vial comprises a bag for regulating pressure within the vial as liquid is removed therefrom. In some embodiments, a vial adaptor is coupled with the vial in order to remove the liquid. In some embodiments, as the liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, the bag expands within the vial, and in other embodiments, the bag contracts within the vial.

Inventors:

John M. Seifert - Coventry CT, US
Thomas F. Fangrow - Mission Viejo CA, US

International Classification:

A61J 1/20

US Classification:

604405

Abstract:

In certain embodiments, a vial adaptor for removing liquid contents from a vial comprises a housing and a bag. In some embodiments, an initial volume of a regulating fluid can be contained within the bag. In some embodiments, the regulating fluid flows into the vial as liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, thereby regulating pressure within the vial. In some embodiments, a vial adaptor is coupled with the vial in order to remove the liquid. In some embodiments, as the liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, the bag expands, and in other embodiments, the bag contracts.
