Pre-Slit Injection Site And Tapered Cannula

View page
US Patent:
6447498, Sep 10, 2002
Filed:
Oct 29, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/182571
Inventors:
Steven C. Jepson - Palatine IL
Thomas E. Dudar - Palatine IL
Brian D. Zdeb - Round Lake IL
Vince C. Desecki - Ingleside IL
Assignee:
Baxter International Inc. - Deerfield IL
International Classification:
A61M 532
US Classification:
604411, 604264, 604256
Abstract:
A pre-slit injection site includes a housing with a flow path therethrough. A first end of the housing carries a pre-slit septum. One form of a blunt cannula, usable with the injection site, carries a locking member. When the pre-slit injection site slidably receives the blunt cannula, the locking member latches to the injection site and creates a mechanically coupled unit. Another form of the cannula includes a tube having a tapered distal end region and having elongate discharge slots for reducing contact surface area and for directing the flow laterally out of the cannula. The cannula may also include a rounded lead post, an annular barb, and axially oriented grooves.

Interlocking Fluid Transfer Device And Resulting Assembly

View page
US Patent:
46116435, Sep 16, 1986
Filed:
Nov 21, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/553737
Inventors:
Susan M. Beebe - Glencoe IL
T. Michael Dennehey - Arlington Heights IL
Robert J. Kruger - Arlington Heights IL
Brian D. Zdeb - Round Lake Park IL
Assignee:
Baxter Travenol Laboratories, Inc. - Deerfield IL
International Classification:
B65B 304
US Classification:
141311R
Abstract:
A tubular fluid transfer device is operative by itself to seal the end of a conduit. By coupling two of the devices together, a fluid path can be selectively established between two conduits by applying heat energy. The device includes a generally planar surface having a meltable region. The generally planar surface of one device is slidable against the generally planar surface of another one of the devices to bring the meltable regions into registration. The device includes a coupling mechanism which guides the meltable regions into the desired alignment as registration occurs. Furthermore, as the meltable regions register, the coupling mechanism generates forces which bias the meltable regions into intimate contact. The coupling mechanism thereafter releasably retains the devices in this snug interlocked relationship, so that the energy can be applied to jointly heat the meltable regions and melt open a fluid path between the two devices.

Pre-Slit Injection Site And Tapered Cannula

US Patent:
57978972, Aug 25, 1998
Filed:
Jun 6, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/470380
Inventors:
Steven C. Jepson - Palatine IL
Thomas E. Dudar - Palatine IL
Brian D. Zdeb - Round Lake IL
Vince C. Desecki - Ingleside IL
Assignee:
Baxter International Inc. - Deerfield IL
International Classification:
A61B 2900
US Classification:
604412
Abstract:
A pre-slit injection site includes a housing with a flow path therethrough. A first end of the housing carries a pre-slit septum. One form of a blunt cannula, usable with the injection site, carries a locking member. When the pre-slit injection site slidably receives the blunt cannula, the locking member latches to the injection site and creates a mechanically coupled unit.

Container Including Inner Closure With Opening Permitting Free Liquid Flow

View page
US Patent:
46553550, Apr 7, 1987
Filed:
Dec 24, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/685815
Inventors:
Robert Turoff - Buffalo Grove IL
Cem M. Gokcen - Brundall, GB2
Brian Zdeb - Round Lake Park IL
Assignee:
Baxter Travenol Laboratories, Inc. - Deerfield IL
International Classification:
B65D 102
US Classification:
215 32
Abstract:
A container (10) having a line of weakness (18) at which the container is opened includes an inner closure (20) mounted within the container cover (16) above the line of weakness (18), and an annular sidewall (22) depending below the frangible line of weakness (18). The inner closure (22) protects the line of weakness (18) from the liquid contents, thereby preventing spillage of liquid contents onto outer non-sterile surfaces upon opening of the container. The container prevents the commercially undesireable retention of moisture in the volume (40) defined by the cover (16) and the inner closure (20). The container may be integrity tested using standard testing procedures.

Drug Delivery Cartridge With Protective Cover

View page
US Patent:
48509787, Jul 25, 1989
Filed:
Oct 29, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/114814
Inventors:
Thomas E. Dudar - Palatine IL
Brian D. Zdeb - Round Lake Park IL
Assignee:
Baxter International Inc. - Deerfield IL
International Classification:
A61M 524
US Classification:
604201
Abstract:
A cartridge 444, 644, 744 is adapted for mounting upon a receptacle 442, 642 in a parenterial fluid administration set 420 for delivering a drug or other beneficial agent to a patient. The cartridge 444, 644, 744 includes a beneficial agent-containing chamber 606 slidable from a first, pre-use position to a second, post-use position. The cartridge includes a hollow tube 496 in which the chamber 606 is at least partially mounted. At least one cannula 500 is mounted to the hollow tube and extends opposite the chamber. A protective cover or cap 530 maintains a chamber protective position that prevents inadvertent movement of the chamber that would accidentally engage the cartridge chamber with a flow path member, such as the cannula. The cover is removed in order to engage the chamber. After delivery of the agent to the patient, the cartridge is removed from the receptacle 442,642 and the cover 530 is selectively moved to a cannula protective position in which the cover 530 is securely mounted about the second, opposite end of the hollow tube, covering the cannula 500.
