Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to patches for medical devices. In various embodiments, an adhesive patch of a medical device may have selective areas with adhesive material of varying adhesion strengths. In other embodiments, an adhesive patch of a medical device may include adhesive material that may be activated by a catalyst to increase or decrease the adhesion strength of the adhesive material. In further embodiments, a medical device may include a pierceable membrane containing an agent, the pierceable membrane positioned to be pierced by a needle and to cause some of the agent to be carried to the user-patient.
摘要:
The application relates to an infusion set for introducing liquid medicaments into the body of a patient. The infusion set comprises a retraction device (2, 3, 5) with a deflection element (30) which is arranged opposite the site where a guide needle (4) emerges from the septum (10) and by means of which the guide needle (4), upon deflection into a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a cannula (6), can be pulled back until it emerges from the cannula channel and frees the inlet aperture of the cannula (6). The guide needle (4), between the outlet end of the cannula (6) and its entry into the deflection element (30), has a rectilinear course, along which it is additionally guided in the inlet area of the deflection element (30).
