    Abstract: A visible valve system for a breastmilk expression system is set forth. The visible valve system includes an outer member, graspable by a human hand. The outer member provides a visual indication that the system is properly assembled. The visible valve system can reduce spillage from a breastmilk container by providing at least a portion of a spill reducing tortuous path in the system, or the spill-reducing tortuous path may be provided in another component of a breastmilk expression system of which the visible valve system is a part.

  • Publication number: 20190314247
    Abstract: An infant safety cap that provides a clear view of the region around the patients mouth during oral administration of fluid, and meets childproof guidelines set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission in 16 CFR § 1501 is set forth. In addition, an ENFit syringe safety cap system incorporating the infant safety cap, constructed in accordance with the principles herein, enables safe and effective fluid delivery, while providing a clear view section around a small outer diameter fluid delivery channel of the cap, which is particular useful for verifying delivery of the fluid. The cap can be selectively sealed to provide a tamper-proof dosage delivery, and to verify the contents of the attached container.
