Abstract: The invention relates to an inserter for a medical device e.g. an infusion set or the like for intermittent or continuous administration of a therapeutical substance, such as e.g. insulin. The inserter comprises a needle hub comprising an insertion needle and two elastic elements assuring automatic insertion and automatic retraction of the insertion needle. Activation of the first elastic element (11) cause a penetrating member (6A) to be inserted sub- or transcutaneously into the skin of a patient, and the second elastic element (12) cause the penetrating member (6A) to be retracted from the skin of the patient. The first elastic element (11) is in an unloaded state before activation and upon activation the first elastic element (11) energizes the second elastic element (12).

Abstract: An infusion device for subcutaneously administering a medication or a therapeutic fluid to a patient includes a base element which has fluid receiving means for receiving the fluid and fluid communication means for transferring the fluid into a cannula. The base element has at least one recess accommodating a septum that is pierceable by a needle. The septum is secured to the base element by a septum housing in such a way that a fluid transfer volume is formed in the recess between an internal surface of the septum and an inner section of the recess. The fluid transfer volume is in communication with the fluid communication means, and the septum housing accommodates a premounted septum. The septum housing is fixed and fluid sealed to the base element in the inner section of the recess.

Abstract: The application relates to an infusion set comprising an infusion part (1) comprising a base part (3) having a main plane, a head part (6) extending from the main plane of the base part and a cannula (12) extending from the base part, first fastening means, a connector (2) having a plane being parallel to and above the main piano of the base part, and having one or more arms (15), said arms being fastened to the connector at a first end, and being free in a second opposite end, and a tube (14), guide means (7, 16) second fastening means (8, 17) being in the form of projecting connector retention devices (17) positioned on the arms of the connector adapted to engage with retention devices (8) extending from the base part, where the plane of the connector can be tilted to a distance from the base part causing the second to be displaced to a distance from that is larger than the height (h) of the retention devices.

Abstract: This invention relates to a packing for a medical device comprising a fabric or non-woven based layer e.g. provided with an adhesive surface or another layer for securing a device to the skin of a patient. The packing comprises at least one layer (1) impenetrable to gas which layer has at least one opening (5), said opening (5) is covered by a filter layer (11) which is permeable for sterilization gas, wherein the filter layer (11) is a part of the medical device to be sterilised. According to one embodiment the part of the filter layer (11) surrounding the opening (5) is placed in close contact with two opposing parts of the packing where a first part of the packing (1) which is provided with the opening (5) is in close contact with a first side of the filter layer (11) and the second part of the packing (8) is in close contact with the opposite side of the filter layer (11).

Abstract: The current invention relates to an injection gateway (1) comprising a base part (2) which during use is secured to the skin (3) of a patient, a cannula (7) which is connected to the base part and which is inserted into the body of the patient during use, a gate (13) through which fluid is injectable into the gateway via a needle based injection device, and a fluid passageway (12) where fluid injected through the gate is communicated to the cannula. The injection gateway further comprises a closing mechanism (5), said closing mechanism having a first position where a needle inserted into the gateway can be inserted into the cannula and a second position where a needle inserted into the gateway is prevented from coming into contact with the cannula. In this way, the gateway allows the use of typical injection needles without the risk of piercing the cannula or penetrating too deeply into the body of the user.
