A dispensing tip assembly includes a foodstuff additive dispenser for a pressurized foodstuff container. A tip body of the dispensing tip assembly may have low pressure zone in which fluid pressure is lower than fluid pressure upstream of the low pressure zone as flowable foodstuff from the foodstuff container flows through the internal flow passage toward an open downstream end of the tip body. The dispenser tip assembly may include one or more of duckbill valves tethered to one another, and/or a plurality of injection ports and/or structure for one-direction dispensing, and/or internal fins to couple to an actuator of the foodstuff container, and/or an anti-rotation device, and/or a collar for attaching a bulb or pod of the tip body, and/or an ergonomic and functional bulb.

Dispensing tip assembly including foodstuff additive dispenser for pressurized foodstuff container

The present disclosure relates to a valve for dispensing flowable product from a container under pressure, the valve comprising a stem, a seal coupled to the stem, and a mounting cup configured to mount the valve to the container, wherein each of the stem, seal, and mounting cup comprises a recyclable plastic, and wherein the valve is free from a gasket configured to surround an opening of the container to form a seal between the valve and the container. Also provided herein is a container for dispensing a flowable product under pressure comprising the valve as described above.

A barrier package aerosol container includes a can, valve, and piston disposed in the interior volume of the can. The piston is movable toward a top end of the can to facilitate dispensing of flowable material in the can. Opposing surfaces of the piston and the can and the valve define an interstitial space of the interior volume in which the flowable product is receivable. The piston is contacts at least one of the interior surface of the can at its top end and the valve, to define a piston interface when the piston is at the top end of the can during use. At least one of the piston, the can, and the valve defines one or more flow passages at the piston interface to allow flowable material in the interstitial space to flow through the piston interface toward the valve inlet during use.

A hand-activated syringe () is disclosed that uses a vacuum to retract a plunger () of the syringe () to draw fluid into a syringe body (). A first seal () with the plunger () and a second seal () with the plunger () define a vacuum chamber (). The spacing between the first seal () and the second seal () changes in response to the plunger () moving relative to the syringe body (). Advancing the plunger () in a direction associated with a discharge stroke creates or increases a vacuum within the vacuum chamber () by increasing a spacing between the first seal () and the second seal (). This vacuum thereafter may be used to retract the plunger () by decreasing a spacing between the first seal () and the second seal (), and to thereby draw fluid into the syringe () from a fluid source ().

A valve for dispensing a flowable product from a container includes a mounting cup. The mounting cup includes a bottom wall having a central portion defining a seal-mounting opening through which a seal and a stem extend. An external seal bead of the seal overlies an upper end of the central portion. The upper end of the central portion is disposed at or below a plane extending transverse to a central axis of the mounting cup and defined by a juncture of a sidewall and an annular sidewall-bottom transition portion of the mounting cup.

Systems and methods are presented for the visual indication of whether a power injector has discharged fluid from a power injector syringe in a previous medical procedure. In this regard, the systems and methods generally provide for a power injector and a syringe for use with the power injector. The syringe includes a visual indicator that moves between a first state and a second state at approximately the same time that the power injector discharges fluid from the syringe such that an operator may view the change in state.

Syringe with visual use indicator

An elution tool for a radiopharmaceutical elution system includes an elution tool. The tool has a vial chamber sized and shaped for receiving an elution vial. An access opening is aligned with a septum of the elution vial when the elution vial is received in the vial chamber. An elution tool lid is secured to the elution tool body by a hinged connection. The elution tool lid is rotatable at the hinged connection and movable relative to the elution tool body between an occluded position and an exposed position. The tool also includes a latching mechanism for selectively and releasably locking the lid in the occluded position.

Radioisotope elution system

A safety intravenous (IV) catheter assembly is disclosed which includes a safety device having a housing defining a cavity and distal and proximal openings, and a biasing member positioned within the cavity. The biasing member is movable from a first position to a second position to tilt the housing in relation to the needle when the needle tip is withdrawn through the distal opening of the housing to misalign the needle tip and the distal opening. A blocking arm is provided on the biasing member to prevent the biasing member from moving from the second position back to the first position.

Vascular access assembly and safety device

A holder for a vial containing a sterile liquid for use with a radiopharmaceutical elution system includes a holder body. The body has a top, an opposing bottom, an opening in the top and a vial chamber. The vial chamber extends from the opening in the top toward the bottom and is sized and shaped for receiving the vial therein. An access opening extends through the bottom to the vial chamber and is aligned with a septum of the elution vial when the sterile vial is received in the vial chamber. A cap is removably secured to the top of the holder body for selectively opening and closing the vial chamber. The holder body includes plastic and has a density less than the density of the cap.

A power injector syringe assembly () is disclosed. The power injector syringe assembly () includes a power injector syringe () and coupling () that are permanently joined. The coupling () includes a wedge-shaped mounting flange () to facilitate installation of the assembly () on a syringe mount () of a power injector. The coupling () also includes at least one coupling member () to facilitate removal of the assembly () from the syringe mount ().

Power injector syringe assembly

A plurality of different vascular access assemblies are described which protect a clinician from accidental needle stick injury upon withdrawal of a needle from a catheter assembly. Each of the vascular access assemblies include a safety device for guarding the needle tip of the needle upon withdrawal of a needle from the catheter assembly.
