Abstract: An apparatus for producing and/or administering medicines and nutritional solutions to a patient. The apparatus includes a multiway valve having a plurality of inlets, an outlet and a collecting reservoir between the inlets and the outlet. The multiway valve may also have an injection site and connection that can be used both as an inlet and an outlet. The inlets, outlets and injection site each include a one-way valve which allows flow only in the direction from the inlets to the patient. A syringe may be connected to the inlet/outlet connection to draw an amount of solution form one or more of the solution bags and then move the solutions together into a mixing bag connected at the outlet, to prepare a medicine or nutritional solution.

Abstract: A port and closure assembly is provided. The port and closure assembly comprises a port including a tubular portion that extends from a base, the tubular portion terminating at an end including an opening. A closure is provided for sealing at least a portion of the end of the port, the port and closure being constructed from materials that create a tack seal when the closure is positioned on the port and the port and closure are sterilized, the tack seal functioning to secure the closure to the port.

Abstract: A surgical procedure tray for supporting disposable medical devices in a surgical procedure pack. The tray and components are wrapped with a sterile wrap. The tray includes a substantially flat bottom portion and a border surrounding the periphery of the bottom portion. The border has a series of bends and includes an upwardly extending lip of a predetermined thickness. The distal end of the lip narrows to connect to a thinner rounded elbow which joins a downwardly slanting ledge. The distal end of the ledge is connected to a tip which is connected to a bead. The thinner outer portions and numerous bends of the border flex so that damage to the sterile wrap covering the tray is reduced.

Abstract: A self-priming injection site having a stopper that resists dislocation or removal from the injection site. The stopper is positioned within the plastic housing between a top with an open center and an intermediate ledge having an upturned lip. The stopper includes an annular groove that receives the upturned lip of the intermediate ledge, to assist in holding the stopper in compression within the housing. An arm portion allows the intravenous fluid to enter the injection site on a path approximately parallel to and immediately adjacent to the ledge and the bottom of the stopper. A check valve may be positioned within the arm portion.
