Abstract: A catheter assembly configured for use with a medical device is provided herein. The catheter assembly can comprise a catheter hub having an interior chamber and a valve located in the interior chamber. The valve can comprise a distal portion, a proximal portion, and a sidewall extending therebetween to define a valve interior. The valve can include a barrier layer having a concave shape that extends in the valve interior from the sidewall at the distal portion. The barrier layer can have at least one slit extending therethrough that is in a normally closed configuration to prevent a fluid from passing through the barrier layer. The catheter assembly can further comprise a sealing ring located circumferentially at a distal end of the valve distally to the barrier layer. The sealing ring can form a seal between the valve and the interior chamber at the distal end.

Abstract: A solid compounded fertilizer in the form of discrete particles, the solid fertiliser having a biological release profile, the solid fertilizer comprising, in a single particle a torrefied organic waste comprising labile carbon and a binder. The torrefied organic material is bound by the binder into the single particle thereby the labile carbon of the organic material is readily available for metabolism by microbes following application of the compounded fertilizer composition to soil or growing media.

Abstract: A dry and solid fertiliser in the form of discreet particles is provided. The particles of the dry and solid fertiliser comprise a homogenous mixture of organic and inorganic materials. The inorganic material comprises at least one of the NPKS nutrients. The organic material comprises a carbon-labile substantially sterile product of organic waste.
