Title: Christopher Dean Drobik: Patent on Radiation-Shielding Tubing Components

Introduction

Christopher Dean Drobik is an inventor associated with Wauconda, Illinois, and Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. His patent work addresses a component for particulate material delivery assemblies, with a focus on shielding a delivery line connector from radiation.

Latest Patents

Drobik is named on one patent, “Tubing components for a particulate material delivery and methods of forming.” The invention describes a tubing component for an assembly that delivers a mixed particulate solution to a patient. Its material and thickness are selected according to material density to shield the delivery line connector from at least 90% of a radiation dose. The component may form an integral wall of the connector, take the form of a removable outer sleeve, or combine both configurations.

Career Highlights

Drobik’s listed patent reflects work on a practical design consideration in particulate delivery systems: reducing radiation exposure at the delivery line connector. The patent describes how the component’s thickness can be calculated based on its material density to achieve the specified shielding.

Collaborations

Drobik’s listed coworkers include Brandon David Simmons and Amanda Kingman. The patent information provided identifies Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. as his company.

Conclusion

Christopher Dean Drobik’s patent contribution centers on tubing components designed to shield a connector in a particulate material delivery assembly, combining material selection and component design to achieve at least 90% radiation-dose shielding.
