Abstract: A package for elongate medical devices such as guide wires or catheters. The package includes an elongate tube wound into a spiral coil configuration and a first clip overmolded onto the tube such that the first clip surrounds the tube at adjacent sections of the tube to maintain the coil configuration.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a syringe for use in enteral feeding includes providing a premolded syringe body having a plunger end and an outlet end, loading the premolded syringe body into a mold having a core pin extending into the outlet end of the premolded syringe body, closing the mold to thereby retain the premolded syringe therein and to close a mold cavity around the outlet end of the syringe body, injection molding by injecting plastic molding material into the mold cavity and cooling to thereby form a tip at the outlet end of the premolded syringe body, and opening the mold and extracting the syringe body and the tip.

Abstract: A safety needle device for percutaneous drug delivery to a patient includes a housing that is slidably mounted on a second portion of a substantially L-shaped, hollow needle for drug delivery. The housing includes a chamber provided between a sleeve portion and a passage. A forward end of the needle, which includes a tip, must deflect in order to pass through the passage into the chamber. The forward end of the needle is restricted from exiting the chamber through the sleeve portion and through the passage.
