Embodiments of the shield assemblies include a shield that is pivotably secured to a needle hub. A ball-and-socket hinge secures the shield and the hub to one another. The assembly includes a reversible shield lock to hold the shield in the needle-protected position.

Hinged shield assemblies and related methods

The present hinged shield assembly is configured to shield a needle to prevent needlesticks. The assembly comprises a base including a hinge, a first shield and a second shield. The first shield extends from the base and at least partially surrounds the second shield. The first and second shields are configured to pivot about the hinge. In some embodiments a distal end of the first shield is open. In other embodiments the first and second shields include sidewalls with channels extending therealong. The first and second shields are rotatable with respect to one another such that the channels in each may be aligned. In other embodiments the first and second shields are translatable and rotatable with respect to one another.

Hinged shield assembly and related methods

A protective cap coupled to a syringe having a needle attached thereto. The protective cap may be pivoted to a position in alignment with the needle so that the protective cap substantially envelops the needle. A plug may be inserted into the cap to envelop or capture the needle within a hollow body of the plug to secure at least a tip of the needle.

Containers for infusion liquids and methods for making the same are described herein. Aspects of an exemplary container include an extended hollow body, a standing bottom, collapsible side walls and a tapered shoulder region which transforms into a neck. Fold lines (BL) are provided and configured such that they cause portions of the container having the fold lines to be flattened when liquid is removed from the container without venting.

Container for infusion liquids

device for administering liquids comprises an administering part ( ) and an adhesive plaster ( ). The administering part ( ) is connected with a cannula stud ( ) and an administering line ( ) and carries a liquid. For fastening the administering part ( ) to the surface of a patient's skin or the surface of an object the adhesive plaster ( ) is stuck on the surface. The adhesive plaster ( ) is provided with a plug-in pin ( ) which is adapted to be inserted into an insertion opening ( ) of the filter ( ). By placing the filter ( ) onto the plug-in pin ( ) the administering part ( ) is detachably connected with the adhesive plaster ( ). If the administering part ( ) is a filter with transparent housing the filter membrane is well visible since the latter is not covered by adhesive strips when the filter is fastened to the patient's body.

Device for administering liquids to a patient

A filter for medical fluids comprises a hydrophilic membrane ( ) dividing the filter into an inlet chamber ( ) and an outlet chamber ( ). This prevents air from penetrating the outlet chamber ( ). The air retained in the inlet chamber ( ) is discharged through vent holes ( ). Each vent hole ( ) is covered with a hydrophobic membrane ( ). According to the invention one of the vent holes ( ) is provided in a front wall ( ) opposite the hydrophilic membrane ( ). The other vent hole ( ) is provided in a rear wall ( ) located opposite the front wall ( ) so that the two vent holes ( ) point in opposite directions. Owing to this arrangement of the two vent holes ( ) one vent hole ( ) points upwards irrespective of the filter position. This improves venting of the inlet chamber ( ).
