摘要:
A valve assembly for vascular access, comprising a body defining a lumen adapted for flowing blood, the body including a luer housing for connection with a first blood conduit and a barb housing for connection with a second blood conduit and a plurality of slitted membranes disposed within the body portion, each of the slitted membranes generating a partial pressure drop for flow therethrough, each of the partial pressure drops being smaller than a total pressure drop for flow through the body portion.
摘要:
An implant adapted to be retained in a body lumen includes a barb for engaging the lumen wall. The barb includes a yieldable element adapted to yield in response to a force, above a predetermined limit, tending to cause migration of the implant. The barb may comprise a shape memory material adapted to change shape when the material undergoes a stress induced phase change and thereby to disengage from the lumen wall.

A flow control tip for a catheter comprises a partition dividing the catheter into first and second lumens, a first orifice fluidly connected to the first lumen and a second orifice fluidly connected to the second lumen, the first orifice being proximal to the second orifice, an elongate protrusion extending along a portion of the partition substantially along a centerline of the elongated body and a deflecting surface extending at an angle relative to the protrusion to direct flow from the first orifice away from the centerline.

A septum for a catheter port comprises a proximal port sealing surface sized to cover a port opening and a distal fluid chamber facing surface which, when the septum is mounted in a port, faces a fluid chamber of the port in combination with a peripheral portion extending radially beyond the port sealing surface for engaging a housing of the port and retaining the septum in place on the housing and a protrusion extending distally beyond the fluid chamber facing surface so that, when the septum is mounted in a port, the protrusion extends distally into a fluid chamber thereof, a radially outer surface of the protrusion frictionally engaging a wall of the fluid chamber.

An access port comprises a housing with a first opening formed therein and a septum mounted within the housing sealing the first opening, the septum including an outer surface covering the first opening and self-sealing after penetration by a needle and an attachment portion for securing the septum to the housing, the attachment portion including a chamfer which, when the septum is mounted within the housing is subject to a force oriented substantially perpendicularly with respect to a plane of the outer surface, the chamfered portion redirecting a portion of the force to compress the outer surface. A septum for an access port comprises an attachment portion adapted to abut a septum seat of the access port and an operative surface adapted to permit penetration by a needle and resealing itself after removal of the needle in combination with a chamfered portion providing a transition between the attachment portion and the operative surface, the chamfered portion re-directing a component of a force applied to the chamfered portion to compress the operative surface.
