Patent number: 11197961Abstract: Flush syringe assemblies capable of creating pulsatile movement of the plunger rod as it moves in the distal direction within a syringe barrel, while preventing overpressurization of the catheter are provided. An exemplary flush syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel with a first pulsing element and a chamber with flush solution, a plunger rod with a stopper and a second pulsing element that interacts with the first pulsing element to provide an engagement force that causes pulsatile movement of the plunger rod and a thumb press slidably attached to the plunger rod with a pulse control element. The pulse control element is compressible to create a compression force that is greater than the engagement force of the first pulsing element and the second pulsing element.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Anthony J.

Patent number: 10105494Abstract: A flush syringe assembly comprises a barrel including a cylindrical side wall having an inside surface defining a chamber for retaining fluid, an open proximal end and a distal end having a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with the chamber. A plunger including an elongate body portion having a stopper at its distal end is provided. The stopper is slidably positioned in fluid-tight engagement with the inside surface of the barrel for driving fluid out of the chamber through the passageway. The stopper includes a distal portion and a proximal portion separated by a spring element and configured to compress when fluid is being driven through the passageway by motion of the plunger and to continue to drive fluid through the passageway after motion of the plunger has stopped.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Thomas A.

Patent number: 8394068Abstract: Syringe assemblies for use in flush applications are provided. Syringe assemblies according to one aspect of the present invention include a plunger rod and a syringe barrel that incorporate one or more pulsing elements on the plunger rod or barrel that are rotatable to create pulsatile movement or continuous and unimpeded movement a plunger rod within a syringe barrel. One or more embodiments pertain to syringe assemblies permit both pulsatile movement of the plunger rod within the barrel and continuous and unimpeded movement of the plunger rod in the distal direction along substantially the entire length of the syringe barrel upon application of force to the plunger rod in only the distal direction. Methods of flushing a catheter are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2010Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Anthony J.

Patent number: 8007475Abstract: A flush syringe assembly comprises a barrel including a cylindrical side wall having an inside surface defining a chamber for retaining fluid, an open proximal end and a distal end including an elongate tip extending distally therefrom having a passageway in fluid communication with the chamber. A plunger including an elongate body portion has a stopper at its distal end. The stopper is slidably positioned in fluid-tight engagement with the inside surface of the barrel for driving fluid out of the chamber. The distal end of the stopper is configured to collapse while fluid is being driven though the passageway through motion of a plunger and to continue to drive fluid through the passageway after motion of the plunger has stopped.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2005Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventor: Anthony J.

Patent number: RE42507Abstract: A surgical scalpel includes an elongate handle defining a longitudinal axis and having a proximal end and a distal end. The scalpel has a cartridge removably mounted to the handle that has a blade holder with a proximal end and a distal end. There is a blade fixedly attached to blade holder disposed so that the blade projects distally outwardly when the cartridge is mounted on the handle. The cartridge also has a shield with a proximal end, a distal end and a bottom mounted onto the blade holder. The shield is slidably movable between a distal position where the shield substantially prevents inadvertent access to the blade and a proximal position where the shield substantially surrounds a portion of the handle and the blade is exposed for use. The cartridge is releasably mountable to the handle and has elements for substantially preventing movement of the shield with respect to the blade holder unless the cartridge is mounted on the handle.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2001Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Aspen Surgical Products, Inc.Inventors: Bradley M.
