摘要:
A nasal delivery device can include air-receiving section that has a first passageway therethrough to allow air to pass through the air-receiving section, a powder-reservoir receiving section sized to receive a powder reservoir, and a powder-delivery section that has a second passageway therethrough to allow aerosolized powder from the powder reservoir to pass through the powder-delivery section. The first passageway can have a first end and a second end, with the first end being further from the powder-reservoir receiving section and the second end being at or near the powder-reservoir receiving area. The second end of the air-receiving section can include a flattened region so that air exiting the air-receiving section has a generally flattened profile.

The automatic injector (100) comprises a cartridge (104) adapted to contain a charge of medicament, a seal structure (118) disposed toward a forward end of the cartridge, a plunger (126) normally disposed in a generally rearward end of the cartridge and movable through the cartridge toward a generally forward end thereof in response to an actuating procedure. The movable plunger rearwardly confines the medicament within the cartridge. A needle (130) normally disposed in communication with the medicament container provides a passage in which the medicament is released into an individual's flesh in response to an actuating procedure projecting the needle into the flesh of the individual. The cartridge having an increased friction region (215) so as to slow the motion of the plunger when the forward end of the needle travels through the seal in order to eliminate coring.

A syringe assembly including a needle cannula having a five-beveled point and a needle shield formed of a styrene block poly(ethylene/butylene) thermoplastic elastomer which significantly reduces needle penetration force and may reduce the cycle time for gas sterilization. The multi-beveled needle cannula point includes a primary bevel, a pair of tip bevels and a pair of middle bevels each intermediate the primary bevel and a respective tip bevel, wherein the angles of rotation of the primary bevel and the intermediate bevels are substantially equal resulting in reduced heights of intercepts between the bevels, therby reducing needle penetration force. The needle shield maintains the sharpness of the needle cannula during application, sterilization and removal of the shield and it is believed that the needle shield will also reduce the cycle time of gas sterilization as compared to rubber needle shields and vulcanizate thermoplastic elastomers.

An access catheter (16) for percutaneously connecting to a sub-cutaneously implanted port comprises a catheter body having a distal end (16), and a proximal end (14). A needle (20) or other access tube is connected to the distal end of the catheter body through a fitting (18), optionally at a right angle relative to the catheter body. A compressible element (30) impregnated with an antiseptic, antibiotic, anesthetic, or other active agent is provided adjacent the distal end of the catheter body, and surrounding the needle. When the needle is percutaneously introduced to the port, the compressible element will be compressed to express the agent onto the skin surface surrounding the penetration site.

The present invention provides a piercing member (12) adapted for use with a flow channel. The piercing member (12) has a penetrating member (14) for piercing a solid closure, and is retained to the flow channel, but still allows fluid to flow through the flow channel (72) while retained to the flow channel (72).
摘要:
A cannula assembly adapted to pierce a solid or unslit closure is disclosed and includes a blunt cannula (50) and a piercing member (12) held in cooperation with or contained within the flow channel (62) of the cannula. Generally, the piercing member includes a tip (14) capable of piercing an unslit stopper or closure and a means (36) to temporarily retain the piercing member from the cannula and prevent inadvertent disengagement of the piercing member from the blunt cannula.

On décrit un raccord de sécurité pouvant être raccordé à l'orifice de branchement d'un conduit d'écoulement de liquide. Le raccord comporte un corps tubulaire (202) pourvu d'une ouverture (218) à son extrémité distale afin de recevoir un orifice de branchement et d'un canal (204) dans la paroi du corps tubulaire contigu à l'extrémité distale. Le canal est conçu pour recevoir le conduit d'écoulement du liquide lorsque l'orifice de branchement est engagé dans le corps tubulaire. Le raccord comprend également un collier rotatif de blocage (212) placé sur l'extrémité distale du corps tubulaire. Le collier est rotatif à partir d'une première position dans laquelle le canal est conçu pour recevoir le conduit d'écoulement du liquide lorsque l'orifice de branchement est engagé dans le corps tubulaire, et une seconde position dans laquelle le collier empêche l'orifice de branchement de sortir du corps tubulaire.
摘要:
Site d'injection pré-fendu (34) comprenant un logement (40) pourvu d'un passage d'écoulement. Ledit logement (40) comporte à sa première extrémité (42) un septum pré-fendu (52). Une forme de cannule épointée (98), que l'on peut utiliser avec ledit site d'injection (34), porte un élément de verrouillage (100). Lorsque la cannule épointée (98) est glissée dans le site d'injection pré-fendu (34), l'élément de verrouillage (100) verrouille le site d'injection (34) et forme ainsi une unité d'accouplement mécanique. Une autre forme de cannule (280) comprend un tube ayant une région terminale distale conique (298) et des fentes de décharge allongées (294) pour réduire la surface de contact et pour diriger latéralement le flux hors de la cannule. La cannule peut également comprendre une protubérance de plomb arrondie (330), un prolongement annulaire (394), et des rainures orientées axialement (268). Dans un système d'échantillonnage du sang on utilise un site d'injection pré-fendu en ligne (492) et une cannule épointée protégée (512). Un adaptateur permet de transférer les fluides de la seringue au moyen d'une cannule épointée vers un tube d'évacuation, comprenant un site d'injection pré-fendu (554) et une aiguille à enveloppe de protection (556) pourvue d'un manchon en catoutchouc.
