  • Patent number: 6619517
    Abstract: A dispensing closure assembly provides for the dispensing of fluid from a fluid container. The dispensing closure assembly includes a cap and a dispensing cover which is movably supported with respect to the cap. The dispensing cover includes a distal tip through which the fluid is dispensed. The cover further includes an outer surface extending from the distal tip and continuous therewith defining a fluid drainage surface where residual fluid drains. A finger contacting surface is provided on the cover and space from the fluid draining surface. A fluid containment well is defined between the fluid drainage surface and the finger contacting surface for retaining fluid drained therealong preventing fluid contact along the finger contacting surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20020066686
    Abstract: A containment system encapsulates a sharp medical instrument. The containment system includes a container having an upper end for insertably accommodating the medical instrument. The container supports a pair of liquid components of a two-part hardenable compound which are separated by a rupturable divider. The components are mixed upon rupture of the divider caused by insertion of the medical instrument thereinto. The hardenable compound thereby hardens around the medical instrument, quickly and permanently encapsulating the inserted instrument.
