Drug delivery devices having integrated non-luer connectors are described. An exemplary drug delivery device includes a container with a non-luer connector that prevents connection of a standard female luer connector to the container. One or more embodiments pertain to a container with a non-luer connector that prevents the formation of a fluid-tight seal between a standard female luer connector and the container. A non-luer connector for attachment to a container having a non-luer element is also described.

Drug delivery systems are provided that include an actuator assembly permanently attached to a filter for connection of a container containing medications such as epidural anesthesia, to a delivery site. In one or more embodiments, the actuator assembly includes a projection with an opening extending from a distal end of the actuator assembly in a proximal direction and the filter includes an inlet and an outlet in fluid communication with the opening. The filter includes a housing including two plates joined together or a cylindrical body defining a cavity containing filter materials. A conduit may be attached to the outlet of the filter to allow connection of the drug delivery systems described to a delivery site, such as a catheter. Methods of administering a medication to a delivery site are also provided.

An embodiment provides an ionic polymer device comprising two extended electrode layers comprising a plurality of conductive particles, wherein the plurality of conductive particles form a concentration gradient in each of the two extended electrode layers, an ionic polymer dielectric layer between two extended electrode layers, and at least one conductive layer on outer surfaces of two extended electrode layers. Another embodiment provides an ionic polymer device comprising a polymer composite with a plurality of surface features on two opposite surfaces, and at least one conductive layer on each of said two opposite surfaces. One embodiment provides a method of making an ionic polymer device, comprising forming a partially cured polymer-metallic salt layer, reducing the metallic salt to form a plurality of metal particles, thereby forming a first extended electrode layer and a second extended electrode layer at and near opposite surfaces of the ionic polymer device.

Drug delivery connectors are provided for permitting and blocking fluid flow between a container and a catheter connector or other drug delivery site. Embodiments of the drug delivery connectors include a ball valve for forming a releasable seal within the drug delivery connectors. In one or more embodiments, the ball valve prevents fluid flow between an open proximal end and an open distal end of the drug delivery connector and is movable in a proximal direction to release the releasable seal to permit fluid flow from the open proximal direction to the open distal direction. Methods of delivering medication to a catheter connector that includes an actuator are also provided

Drug delivery devices having non-luer connections and adapters and adaption connectors for providing non-luer connections to drug delivery devices are provided. An exemplary drug delivery device for use with a catheter connection includes a blunt needle component with a non-luer connection and a filter component with a non-luer connection, wherein the non-luer connections of the blunt needle component and filter component are incompatible with standard luer fitting and intravenous route-accessing devices. In one or more embodiments, an adapter having a non-luer connection at one end and a luer connector is provided for use with blunt needle components and filter components wherein one of the blunt needle component and the filter component includes a luer connection and the other of the blunt needle component and the filter component includes a non-luer connection. Methods of delivering liquid medication to a catheter are also provided.
