An infusion set, including a set having a skin contacting surface, a catheter extending from the set, and a flexible ring having an integral fluid path therethrough. The flexible ring is configured to expand to a first diameter to allow placement over the set, and contract to a second diameter to securely circumscribe an outer diameter of the set. The infusion set also includes a tubing length secured to the flexible ring, and a fitting or spike disposed at an end of the tubing length and extending into the flexible ring. The fitting or spike is configured to sealably mate with an opening of the set to permit communication of a medicament therebetween.

Infusion set

An infusion set, patch pump, or elements thereof, having an exemplary catheter () provided with one or more channels, grooves and coatings (), configured and arranged to provide a degree of strength and flexibility. The catheter () can also have an exemplary flexible union with the hub () having at least one of a ball-and-socket joint (), a sliding plate (), and a flexible bushing (), and which is sealed to allow even further movement of the catheter () while preventing leakage of medication through the junction. In doing so, a number of benefits associated with the use of rigid materials in catheter construction can be provided while at the same time, benefits associated with the use of flexible materials in catheter construction and/or flexible engagement with the hub can also be provided.

Infusion set and/or patch pump having at least one of an in-dwelling rigid catheter with flexible features and/or a flexible catheter attachment

A system for providing the collection of advanced, improved, and novel new components and elements in a single package to simplify assembly and use of the infusion set by the user, including one or more of an exemplary pushbutton-type inserter, squeeze-type inserter, contact-type inserter, skin pinching-type inserter, folding retraction-type inserter, and/or multistage-type inserter () having at least one reusable stage, an exemplary set () having an adhesion means with two or more user-selectable degrees of adhesion strength, a self-sealing tube connection means, a lens feature to view a site beneath the set, exemplary tube management and connection elements (), insulin supply (), adhesion concealment means (), finger loops on the inserter and site preparation wipes or sprays () which can be provided as part of the inserter. The system can further include an exemplary package () which can hold a number of sets that can be easily released and retrieved from the tray by an inserter, an exemplary insertion needle handle and shroud, an exemplary squeeze-type latch between an upper portion and a lower portion of the set, and/or a tool removable upper portion of the set.

A modular connector assembly for a medical container may include a plurality of covers and a plurality of adapters. Each cover is connectable to a cooperatively dimensioned medical container. Each adapter is attachable in fluid sealing engagement with each cover by an interface assembly including a first interface segment formed on each of said plurality of covers and a second interface segment formed on each of said plurality of adapters. The first and second interface segments and corresponding ones of the covers and adapters are initially separable and subsequently connected to define a fluid sealing engagement between connected ones of the cover and adapter. The structural configuration of each of the plurality of adapters is variable to define a different one of a plurality of medical connector types.

Modular medical connector

A closure for a medical device includes a base having a terminal end for supporting the base in an upright orientation. A connector is mounted on the base for the attachment to the medical device. Automatic, self-righting capabilities of the closure include a curved, substantially bulbous, exterior surface of the base and a center of mass located between the terminal end and a flange. The flange is connected to the base and includes a multi-level peripheral edge extending outwardly from said base at different distances. An included asymmetrical structure of the closure facilitates the automatic, self-righting capabilities thereof.

Asymmetrical closure for a medical device

A medicant injection device includes a compressible body, a tip, and an outer luer body. The compressible body has a proximal end, a distal end, and a plurality of bellows, and defines an inner cavity for holding a liquid medicant. The tip is positioned at the proximal end of the compressible body. The outer luer body includes internal threads, and is positioned over and engaged with the tip to form a first fitting therewith. The first fitting is configured to be connected with a second fitting. A medicant injection device includes a compressible body having first and second arms, a receptacle interconnected with the compressible body and defining an inner cavity, and a first fitting configured to engage a second fitting. The compressible body is configured to be compressed by forcing the distal end of the first and second arm toward each other.

Medicant injection device

In one aspect, a safety pen needle assembly is provided herein which includes a hub with a needle fixed to the hub, the needle having a distal end, formed for insertion into a patient, and a proximal end. The assembly further includes a shield and a biasing member disposed between the hub and the shield configured to urge the shield distally. A protrusion extends from at least one of the hub and the shield with a channel being formed in at least the other of the hub and the shield. The channel is formed to accommodate the protrusion. The shield is movable from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the shield is spaced from the distal end of the needle such that the distal end of the needle is exposed. In the second position, the shield covers the distal end of the needle. The channel guides the protrusion as the shield moves from the first position to the second position. With this arrangement, a shield may be directed to move in a desired path with stability. In addition, the distal end of the needle may be initially exposed to permit visual confirmation of priming, while allowing the shield to cover a majority of the needle to minimize any needle-related anxiety.

Safety pen needle assembly

A closure for a medical container including a base structured to be supported in an operative, upright orientation on a horizontal surface and having an exposed face and a connector disposed thereon and extending outwardly therefrom. A protective cage includes one or more cage members each configured in the form of a helix fixedly connected to the base and extending longitudinally and laterally outward from the connector in at least partially surrounding relation thereto. The base may include self-righting structural features, including an outer surface having a curved, substantially bulbous configuration and a center of gravity disposed between a tipping point of said base and a terminal end thereof.

Closure for a medical container

A tamper evident assembly for retaining a plunger and/or piston within a barrel of a syringe comprises an elongated tether disposed in an operative attachment and position on the syringe. When operatively attached, a connector assembly adjustably and fixedly interconnects the tether to an exterior of the barrel of the syringe concurrently to one end of the tether, and with a retaining member associated with the opposite end of the tether disposed in a removal restrictive relation to the plunger and/or piston, on the interior of the barrel. Movable adjustment of the tether relative to the connector assembly defines a retaining segment which can be disposed into a fixed length and taut orientation, between the ends of the tether, to further define the operative attachment or position.

Tamper evident assembly

A high pressure delivery system for delivering a medicament, comprising a first chamber for storing a supply of the medicament, a gear pump assembly in fluid communication with the first chamber, said gear pump assembly having a dose inlet and a dose discharge, said dose inlet having a larger diameter than said dose discharge to provide a high pressure discharge, and a fluid connection path in fluid communication with the gear pump assembly for delivering the medicament to a high pressure area.

Dual chamber and gear pump assembly for a high pressure delivery system

A disposable pen needle, comprising a hub having a needle situated thereon having a patient end and a non-patient end, a removable patient end cap attached at the distal end of the hub, a removable non-patient end cap attached at the proximal end of the hub, wherein greater force is required to detach the patient end cap than is required to detach the non-patient end cap.
