The invention relates to a catheter valve for permanently or discontinuously draining body cavities and discharging urine. The catheter valve consists of a two-component housing having a cylindrical portion and a conical portion. The conical portion houses a shaft that slides along the longitudinal axis of the housing. At a tip of the conical portion is a urine inlet opening that allows urine or other bodily fluids to flow into the catheter. At an opposite end, is a urine outlet opening that allows the fluid to flow out of the catheter. The shaft controls the flow of fluid through the catheter by selectively sealing the urine outlet opening on the catheter. In addition, a locking mechanism is provided to keep the shaft apart from the outlet valve thus allowing free flow of fluid through the catheter.

Catheter valve

A device for transferring and withdrawing liquids or liquid media from bottles, pouches or similar containers for medical purposes. The device includes a first rotationally-symmetric body including a threaded cam, a first spike with a tip, a first main duct extending to the tip, and a first auxiliary duct extending to the tip. The first auxiliary duct narrows to a capillary-like opening adjacent to the tip. A second rotationally-symmetric body is provided which includes a second spike with a second main duct and a second auxiliary duct. The first body is centrically plugged into the second body wherein the first spike is diametrically disposed with respect to the second spike. The first and second main ducts form a substantially linear, axially extending flow path through the device. The first and second bodies include a recess formed between the first auxiliary duct and the second auxiliary duct. A separate filter housing is connected to the threaded cam of the first body following the removal of the second body. A sealing surface on the filter housing is sealed against the first body with the filter of the filter housing disposed transverse to the axially extending flow path.

Device for transferring and drawing liquids

A coupling for connecting the ends of medical apparatus tubes. The coupling has male and female conical mating elements on first and second end pieces. Each end piece is adapted to receive the end of a tube. The end pieces are locked together to prevent unintentional separation. Locking is achieved by at least one finger extending from one end piece to the other end piece. The finger, in addition to its locking function, resists tension when tensile stress is applied to a coupled tube.
