A syringe assembly is provided comprising a syringe cylinder extending from an opening configured to receive a plunger to an end configured to couple with a needle and/or medical tubing, a plunger extending from one end to a seal end, and at least one cap configured to couple to the one end. A syringe assembly is provided comprising a syringe cylinder extending from an opening configured to receive a plunger to an end configured to couple with a needle and/or medical tubing, and a plunger extending from one end to a seal end, the one end of the plunger defining a recess configured to receive at least one cap.

Intravascular line and port cleaning methods, methods of administering an agent intravascularly, methods of obtaining/testing blood, and devices for performing such methods

The invention includes a device having a chamber within a syringe. A fluid passageway extends through a syringe piston. A valve is associated with the passageway controlling fluid passage through the piston. The invention includes a piercing structure having a head segment and a body portion, with a channel through the body portion and through at least one surface of the head without passing through the tip. In another aspect the invention encompasses a method of preparing an agent for administration to an individual. A first component is provided within a syringe and a second component is provided within a vial. A closed valve is associated with a fluid passageway between the vial and the syringe barrel through a piston. Valve repositioning allows fluid passage and sliding of the piston joins the first and second components. Repeated sliding of the piston mixes the components to produce the medication agent.

Syringe devices and methods for mixing and administering medication

A multi-chamber injection device includes multiple syringes. The multiple syringes may be arrayed in a circular, linear, or other format. In some implementations, a needle, port, or similar may be shared by all the syringes in configuration that allows only one syringe to deliver contents at a time while blocking the other syringes from delivering their respective contents. In some implementations, the syringes may be all stored in the same container. One or more of the chambers of a multi-chamber injection device may be preloaded with medication. Different medications may be loaded into different chambers. The medications may be selected to treat the same medical condition.

Multi-chamber injection device

Mixing/administration systems and methods for preparing an agent for administration to an individual are disclosed. Caps may be included as part of the system, which may include compositions comprising at least one of a cleansing, antiseptic, antimicrobial, or disinfectant agent. The caps may additionally be included that may be used for hemostasis at an injection site. Packaging and/or the mixing/administration system within it may include a tracking mechanism for data tracking regarding many different aspects of the system, including aspects of manufacture and administration.

Mixing/administration system for vaccines and medicaments

This disclosure describes example antimicrobial compositions that may be used in combination with IV port cleansing caps, protective caps, or nasal decolonizer devices. According to another implementations, the disclosure describes that the antimicrobial composition may provide an indication that it has come into contact with a contaminant by bubbling or foam on a surface that is being cleaned. According to another implementation, the disclosure describes that the antimicrobial composition may leave a residual film or barrier to inhibit the recontamination of a surface that has been cleaned.

Antimicrobial composition including a residual barrier film

This disclosure describes example antimicrobial compositions that may be used in combination with IV port cleansing caps, protective caps, or both. According to another implementations, the disclosure describes various cap devices that may be used in combination with the antimicrobial composition to cleanse, sanitized, and/or disinfected a surface.

Port and surface cleaning devices and techniques

A port cap has a closed end, an open end, and a conical body made of a flexible material. An inside of the port cap may have a textured or uneven surface. The textured or uneven surface may be formed by one or more annular rings. An annular ring may be asymmetrical having different slopes on the two different sides of the annular ring. The port cap may be made of an elastomeric polymer or elastomeric copolymer. An insert inside the port cap may be made of a sponge or similar material and may contain a cleaning agent or microbiocidal. The port cap may be sealed with a lid. Methods of using the port cap are also disclosed.

Friction fit medical caps

This disclosure describes example applicators and cap devices which may be used in combination with one or more cleansing, antimicrobial and/or antiseptic agents to reduce or eliminate contaminates on a surface. According to some embodiments, the disclosure describes a first cap which may be stored within a cavity of a second cap to create a dual cap device. According to some embodiments, both caps of the dual cap device may be individually sealed with a protective film. According to some embodiments, either a single cap device or a dual cap device may be attached to a flexible substrate by a surface other than the surface having the cavity opening.

Individually sealed antiseptic applicators

This disclosure describes example adhesive medical patches that may be used in combination with one or more antimicrobial agents to create and/or maintain an area of human skin that is free from contaminants. According to some embodiments, the disclosure describes that the adhesive patches may contain an adhesive material affixed to the perimeter of an impermeable backing According to some embodiments, the adhesive patch may also have a permeable layer containing an antimicrobial agent located interior to the adhesive material on the impermeable backing.

Adhesive patch with antimicrobial composition

Medicant mixing/administration systems are provided that can include: a medicant vial; a syringe assembly comprising a barrel and a piston; a protective material supporting the syringe assembly and medicant vial; and a member within the system, the member separating the piston of the syringe assembly from the medicant vial. Systems are provided that can include: a syringe assembly comprising a barrel and a piston; having a forward end and an opposing back end; a protective material supporting the syringe assembly; and a needle housing coupled to the protective material. Medicant mixing/administration methods are also provided that can include, within a package, sufficiently clearing a restraining member from between a medicant vial and syringe plunger to pierce the medicant vial with a piercing structure coupled to the syringe plunger, the piercing providing medicant from the vial to the syringe assembly. Additional methods can include, upon opening a package containing a syringe assembly, extending a needle housing from the package.

Mixing/administration syringe devices, protective packaging and methods of protecting syringe handlers

Injection systems with storage compartments to house various materials are described. The storage compartments facilitate provision of medical care in space- and time-efficient manners and are particularly useful in providing care in non-medical facilities.

Injection systems with storage compartments

A syringe device includes a syringe barrel and piston having a fluid passageway extending from a vial port. Another syringe device includes a syringe barrel, a piston sleeve and an insert. A channel extends along a side of the insert. A valve controls fluid communication between the channel and the syringe barrel. Another syringe device has a syringe barrel, a piston sleeve and an insert. A valve controls fluid communication between a compartment within the insert and the syringe barrel. A method of preparing a medication includes providing a component within a syringe barrel and another component within a compartment of a piston insert. A seal is over-molded onto a tip of the insert and an end of a piston sleeve. The sleeve is rotated relative to the insert to establish fluid communication between the compartment and the barrel chamber.

Syringe devices, components of syringe devices, and methods of forming components and syringe devices

This application describes example antimicrobial compositions that may be used alone or in combination with catheters and catheter insertion sites. According to another aspect, the application describes catheters which may employ one or more protection devices, such as cleaning caps, protective caps or both.
