Abstract: A device for protecting a user from a sharp tip of a medical needle includes a central body portion, a medical needle having a sharp tip, a pair of wings in attachment to the central body portion, and a hook-and-loop fastening system disposed on at least one of the wings, and configured to selectively attach the wings together with the medical needle positioned between the wings so as to protect a user from the sharp tip of the medical needle. A method of using the device includes withdrawing a sharp tip of a medical needle from a patient, closing a pair of wings with the medical needle positioned between the wings, and fastening the wings together with the medical needle positioned between the wings so as to protect a user from the sharp tip of the medical needle.

Abstract: Devices for protecting a user from a sharp tip of a medical needle includes a central body portion, a medical needle having a sharp tip, a pair of wings in attachment to the central body portion. The medical needle includes a longitudinal axis that is substantially perpendicular to at least one of a long axis of the central body portion and the delivery tube. The pair of wings are selectively positionable in a first position in which the pair of wings are spaced apart from the medical needle and a second position in which the pair of wings are proximate the medical needle. A mechanical fastener is disposed on at least one of the pair of wings, the mechanical fastener configured to selectively attach the pair of wings together in the second position with the medical needle positioned therebetween. Methods of using the device including administering medicinal fluids.

Abstract: A device, system and method are provided for controlling the rate of infusion of fluids during infusion therapy using non-electric infusion devices. Rotation of a flow regulator dial causes an orifice connected to the inlet to modify its position relative to a particular one or more orifices or groove portions, the characteristics of which provide a certain flow rate characteristic. The flow regulator allows for the infusion pump to infuse at a rate that may be varied during use by the user. Additionally, the flow regulator is made from a material selected to operate under a wide range of pressures, from 5-40 PSI, making the flow regulator compatible with pressurized devices, such as, a non-electric pump.
