A catheter insertion device () is provided for positioning and inserting a catheter (), particularly a midline catheter into a patient. The insertion device () includes an introducer needle () that extends from the distal end of the catheter during insertion. A manually operated actuator assembly () is movable with respect to a housing for deploying the catheter () over the distal end of the introducer needle (). A step-wise movement of the actuator () advances the catheter () in stages over the introducer needle (). A shuttling or indexing mechanism () advances the catheter and prevents retraction of the catheter once deployed.

Midline catheter placement device

A catheter insertion device is provided for positioning and inserting a catheter, particularly a midline catheter into a patient. The insertion device includes an actuator assembly movable with respect to a housing for deploying the catheter over a needle. A step-wise movement of the actuator advances a catheter assembly, including the catheter, in stages over the introducer needle. An indexing finger of the catheter assembly engages the actuator body during distal advancement of the actuator, and deflects as the actuator is moved proximally. The device further includes a lockout device such as a button, collar, slider, or tab, which allows movement of the catheter relative to the needle but prevents advancement of the catheter to the first stage of the step-wise movement.

A multi-pack assembly for containing and dispensing one or more new pen needles, and receiving and containing used pen needles after use, is provided, wherein a plurality of both new and used pen needles can be contained in a series of storage vessels, each secured to an adjacent storage vessel thereby forming an easily managed multi-pack assembly shape, and providing caps for each individual pen needle storage vessel to provide a sterility barrier and which can be opened independently of one another, and which can be closed in the same manner after use to prevent unwanted interaction with the used pen needles contained therein.

An apparatus is disclosed for storing and dispensing pen needles for an injection device, including a case having dispensing and storage ends for dispensing and storing a plurality of pen needles and a plurality of needle cover units, each pen needle having a patient end and a hub for connection to the injection device, and each needle cover unit having a needle-covering portion for covering a patient end and a hub-covering portion for covering a hub. A needle-covering portion covering the needle of one pen needle is coupled with a hub-covering portion covering a hub of another pen needle. Prior to use, a hub-covering portion covering the hub of a pen needle is exposed to an outside at the dispensing end of the case, and subsequent to use, the pen needle is stored in the storage end of the case.

A measuring tape of the type including a housing enclosing a coil of a resilient rule tape uncoilable to a substantially straight orientation. The housing has first and second sidewalls joined by surrounding walls extending substantially parallel to the coil axis and defining a rule-egress-ingress opening with a rule-tape free end extending therefrom. The inventive measuring tape includes a spool holding the coil of the rule tape wound thereabout and secured to a spool-supporting wall portion of the housing such that the coiled rule-tape coil is entirely removable from the housing. The rule tape has first and second sides and extends for a length which includes a break region spaced from a free end of the uncoiled rule tape. The break region includes a plurality of discrete elongate depressions spaced from one another lengthwise along the rule-tape length.

A system and method for a patch-like, self-contained substance infusion device which provides one or more substantially hidden patient needles which can be placed in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir subassembly that includes a rigid bladder portion used in conjunction with a non-distensible bladder film, such as a metallized film. Simple removal of an interlock allows a disk, or Belleville spring assembly to apply an essentially even and constant pressure to the contents of the fluid reservoir assembly, and allows the device to then be attached to a skin surface via an adhesive contact surface. A push button activation assembly is provided which can then be used to release and seat one or more spring-loaded patient needles into the skin surface, and establish a fluid communication path between the patient needles and the pressurized fluid reservoir contents thereby delivering an infusion into the skin.

A hand-powered sanding tool utilizes a rigid sanding plate, such as one made of steel. The sanding plate has a plurality of material removal teeth on at least one side for removing material from a workpiece, such as for sanding a board or a wall. The sanding plate is attached to a handle that is preferably ergonomically designed for ease of use. In preferred embodiments, the sanding plate is attached to the handle such that it may be repeatably removed and attached thereto without affecting performance. Further, in some embodiments, the sanding plate is reversible so as to provide an alternate sanding surface for use.
