Abstract: Compositions and methods for preventing thrombogenesis can include antithrombin and heparin. In one example, a conjugate of antithrombin and heparin where at least 50 wt % of the heparin is conjugated to antithrombin can be present. Furthermore, in one example, at least 98 wt % of the heparin in the composition has a molecular weight greater than 3,000 Daltons.

Abstract: Medical devices, systems, and methods for treating conditions using antithrombin-heparin conjugates are disclosed. For example, medical devices can be coated with antithrombin-heparin (ATH) resulting in reduced thrombogenicity. Various conditions can likewise be treated with ATH.

Abstract: An insert for a luer-type catheter connection includes a fluid pathway connecting a female end and a male end. The male end is configured for slidable insertion into a female luer fitting of a catheter, and the female end is configured to receive a male luer nozzle of a fluid delivery device. The insert also includes a threaded collar having internal threading faced for coupling with the female luer fitting and external threading faced for coupling with a locking collar on the fluid delivery device. A cartridge located in the fluid pathway is configured to hold a patency agent and further to release the patency agent into the catheter when fluid is passed through the cartridge.
