  • Patent number: 10926078
    Abstract: A Y-connector for medical lines, includes a tubular body provided with a first inlet coaxial to the tubular body and containing a valve device formed by an elastic element, and a second inlet arranged obliquely to the tubular body and communicating therewith between the first inlet and the outlet. The tubular body is formed with an inner septum for deviating a flow coming from the second inlet towards the hollow elastic element prior to directing the flow to the outlet.

  • Publication number: 20210046243
    Abstract: A filter for infusion medical lines including a flattened box-like body provided inside which is a plate-shaped element formed on whose one or both of the opposite faces are respective ribs defining inner channels. Arranged on the ribs are respective filtering hydrophilic membranes which separate the channels from respective interspaces delimited by a pair of half-shells. The interspaces are placed in communication with the inlet connector, the channels are placed in communication with the outlet fitting and the interspaces are placed in communication with the outside through vent openings arranged on the end walls of the box-like body.

  • Patent number: 10888652
    Abstract: A foot valve for drip chambers of medical infusion or transfusion apparatuses having an annular valve seat with which a float obturator axially displaceable between a position for closing and a position for opening the valve seat cooperates. A containment cage bush has an elastically deformable lateral wall within which the float obturator floats in a guided fashion, and the lateral wall of the containment bush and the float have respective mutually facing surfaces configured such that a radial deformation of the containment bush applies an axial thrust to the float obturator in the direction of moving it apart from the annular valve seat.

  • Patent number: 10668205
    Abstract: A flow component particularly for hemodialysis medical lines includes a duct having a first and a second end tubular connector coaxial to each other and designed to be connected to the line, and an intermediate tubular connector of the female luer type arranged orthogonally to the duct. A hollow elastic element substantially extends along the entire intermediate tubular connector and the body is internally configured so that, in use, the flow along the duct is partly diverted towards the intermediate tubular connector and introduced with a swirling motion along the cavity of the hollow elastic element.

  • Patent number: 10537726
    Abstract: A tubular fitting for medical fluid lines includes a hollow body within which a male connector and an opposite female connector are coaxially housed. The male connector is coupled in rotation with respect to the body in a direction corresponding to a screwing with a female connector of the line, while it is normally freely rotatable in the unscrewing direction, in the same way as the female connector is coupled in rotation with respect to the body in the direction corresponding to the screwing with a male connector of the line, while it is normally freely rotatable in the unscrewing direction. The male connector and/or the female connector can possibly be locked in rotation with respect to the body in the unscrewing direction, only following a positive command.

  • Patent number: 10373307
    Abstract: A method for checking a faultless joint between a first and a second component of a medical device, namely a drip chamber and a spike, wherein the first component has an annular coupling edge facing downwardly to be sprayed interiorly with a liquid solvent. The solvent is mixed with a tracer detectable through ultraviolet or infrared light and the coupling edge is illuminated with a ultraviolet or infrared light so as to make an image of the sprayed solvent, which is reflected and captured by an electronic scanning device configured to establish whether such image is faultless, visible through a tracer.

  • Publication number: 20190134378
    Abstract: A valve connector for hemodialysis lines includes a male luer lock valved fitting, a female luer lock fitting that can be engaged with the male luer lock fitting, and a rotatable ring nut carried by the male luer lock fitting and that can be screwed with the female luer lock fitting. Before the rotatable ring nut begins the screwing on the female luer lock fitting, the male luer lock valved fitting is fully opened, and as soon as the ring nut ceases the unscrewing from the female luer lock fitting, the male luer lock valved fitting fully closes instantly.

  • Patent number: 10279160
    Abstract: A cap for medical fluid lines and the like includes a hollow body within which a male or female connector accessible at one end of the body is coaxially housed. The connector is configured to inviolably obstruct the passage through the body. A unidirectional coupling locks in rotation the connector with respect to the body in the direction corresponding to the screwing of the connector, and a complementary connector, and to enable free rotation of the connector in the opposite direction. The connector can be possibly locked in rotation with respect to the body in the unscrewing direction, only following a positive command.
