Abstract: A naso-gastric feeding tube (10) includes a hollow, flexible tube (12) having an open, proximal end (14) permanently secured to a hollow adapter (16), forming an integral unit. A stylet (56) is removably mounted within the stylet port (42) of the adaptor (16). A syringe (72) may be secured to the placement port (44) in order to conduct the placement confirmation test to assure proper insertion of the feeding tube within the patient, eliminating the need for removing and then reinserting the stylet to confirm proper insertion of the feeding tube (10). Additionally, the feeding tube (10) permits delivery of a second prescribed product without disconnecting the tube (10) from the source of the first prescribed product.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sterile, unitized, economical device furnishing a fluid path between a plurality of solutions to be compounded and a receiving container. The device includes a plurality of fluid connectors and fluid lines sealingly connected to respective pump fittings which provide individual paths to a common junction block.The common junction block includes a portion for receiving fluid lines and preventing them from crimping thereby maintaining fluid flow. The block also includes an exit port for providing a sealingly sterile connection to the receiving container. Further, a closure is provided to protect the exit port from contamination when the port is not providing fluid communication to the receiving container.

Abstract: A collapsible medical agent container (10) is disclosed having walls (34, 36, 38) defining a plurality of chambers (12, 14) for containing selected quantities of one or more medical fluids or a dry or encapsulated drug or other reagent in separate sealed condition. Opening means which communicates between adjacent chambers (12, 14) for passage of fluid from one chamber to another, is normally closed by frangible closure (18) which maintains the chambers (12, 14) in separate hermetically sealed condition until flow between the chambers (12, 14) is needed. The frangible closure (18) has an elongated relatively rigid portion (20) which extends into one of the chambers and is disposed within a protective retentive tube (24), and a relatively weakened portion (22) adjacent the opening means.
