  • Patent number: 11857751
    Abstract: A closure assembly for a medical dispenser having tamper evident characteristics including a flexible tip cap dimensioned to be independently used with different sized medical dispensers. The tip cap is operatively disposed in enclosing relation to a discharge port of the medical dispenser and a retainer is disposed in surrounding relation to said tip cap concurrent to the operative disposition thereof relative to the discharge port. The retainer includes a clamping structure disposed in clamping relation to an exterior of said tip cap, wherein the clamping relation disposes the interior of the tip cap into fluid sealing engagement with the discharge port. After removal of the discharge port, reinsertion thereof is prevented by deformation of the tip cap into an insertion blocking concurrent to maintenance the clamping relation.

  • Patent number: 11097071
    Abstract: A tamper evident assembly for attachment to a medical connector including a tamper evident cap having an end cap and a tip cap movably and removably disposed in an operative position within the end cap. A retaining structure on the end cap and a retention structure on the tip cap are cooperatively structured to define an interruptive engagement and unidirectional passage of the retention structure over said retaining structure, when disposing the tip cap in the operative position. The interruptive engagement also defines an abutting engagement of said retaining structure with said retention structure, wherein the abutting engagement is preventative of passage of said retention structure over said retaining structure, concurrent to disposition of said tip cap out of said operative position. An included flow controller regulates fluid flow through a connector attached to the tamper evident cap and may establish a path of fluid flow with an attached conduit and the attached connector.

  • Patent number: 10933202
    Abstract: A tamper evident closure, intended primarily for a luer-slip or like frictional connection between one or more components associated with the closure and a syringe or other medical device, includes a housing having an open end and a tip cap disposed within the housing. An indicator member is connected to the housing in at least partially covering relation to the open end and includes an access opening disposed in accessible relation with the tip cap. A cover is removably disposed in overlying engagement with at least a portion of said indicator member in covering relation to the access opening. The indicator member has an inner segment disposed in contiguous surrounding relation to the access opening and has a reduced breakaway resistance, capable of being easily ruptured, ripped or torn during passage of said tip cap through the access opening, concurrent to the tip cap being connected to the medical device.

  • Patent number: 10898659
    Abstract: A system for handling and dispensing a plurality of products, including a package having a chamber configured to contain the plurality of products in a predetermined aligned relation to one another and a base disposed in surrounding relation to said chamber. A retaining structure is disposed within an interior of the base in retaining relation with the plurality of products and an access device is disposable in opening engagement with the retaining structure and in accessible relation with an interior of the chamber and the plurality of products therein. The access device comprises a path of travel of the plurality of products out of said chamber when disposed in opening relation to the retaining structure and is structured to assume an interface orientation wherein said access device is disposed in interconnected relation between the package and a dispensing assembly.

  • Patent number: 10888672
    Abstract: A closure assembly for a medical device including an administering device such as, but not limited to, a prefilled syringe, includes a housing having an access opening, a stop member disposed therein and an end cap. A tip cap, attachable in a flow restricting relation to the medical device is disposed within the housing and is removably connected to a base, wherein the stop member restricts removal of the flow restrictor from the housing through the access opening. The base is disposed in a captured orientation between the stop member and the end cap. The flow restrictor is disconnected from the base when a predetermined force is applied to flow restrictor, as the housing is rotationally attached to the medical device. The flow restrictor remains attached in flow restricting relation to the medical device while being disconnected from the base until the housing is detached from the medical device.
