  • Patent number: 9586037
    Abstract: A valved male luer connector includes a resilient hollow element enclosing a tubular member having an inlet portion and an outlet portion. A collar is axially displaceable to cause a stretching deformation of the resilient hollow element so as to open a cut of a terminal wall thereof adjacent to an initial end of the inlet portion of the tubular member. The collar has a containment axial appendage of the resilient hollow element up to close to the terminal wall thereof. A stop means for limiting the stretching deformation of the resilient hollow element is provided for in the zone close to the terminal wall thereof.

  • Patent number: 9585999
    Abstract: A flow system for medical lines includes a flow component having a main duct and at least one lateral tubular fitting with a female luer cone communicating with the main duct) through a valve. The valve includes a transverse diaphragm normally kept in fluid-tight contact against an annular valve seat of the lateral tubular fitting, which can be moved away from this into an opening position following upon insertion of a male luer-cone introducer of fluid into the lateral tubular fitting. The diaphragm is prearranged for being pushed into the opening position directly by the introducer, and the lateral tubular fitting is configured to couple in a fluid-tight way with the introducer before the latter comes into contact of thrust with the diaphragm.

  • Publication number: 20170000998
    Abstract: A valved male luer connector includes an elastic hollow element which encloses a tubular member having an inlet portion and an outlet portion. A collar is axially displaceable causing a stretching deformation of the elastic hollow element and opening the flow passage between the inlet portion and the outlet portion of the tubular member. A priming cap is designed to be releasably connected to the casing of the valved connector to provide stretching deformation of the elastic element and keep the outlet portion of the tubular member in communication with the atmosphere through a liquid-impermeable barrier.

  • Patent number: 9352086
    Abstract: A one-way valve for medical infusion lines includes a first tubular connector and a second tubular connector, which define, respectively, an upstream passage and a downstream passage, which are coaxial and set transversely between which is a diaphragm made of elastically deformable material co-operating in a fluid-tight way with an annular seat to keep the valve normally closed. A filter, integrated in the valve, is axially clamped and blocked between the first tubular connector and the diaphragm.

  • Patent number: 9345871
    Abstract: An injection site for tubular medical connectors, includes a perforable body inserted in a seat of a connector delimited by an annular wall having a retention edge turned in against the outer end of the perforable body. The outer end is formed with a peripheral annular step and with an exposed portion with reduced cross section projecting axially. The peripheral step is defined by an annular groove having a shape complementary to that of the turned-in retention edge of the connector, and the portion with reduced cross section of the perforable body connects up to the groove through an annular surface projecting radially above at least part of the turned-in retention edge and resting against it.

  • Patent number: 9125980
    Abstract: A medical device, particularly for mixing medical fluids, includes two tubular bodies made of materials of different elasticity having respective open ends to be joined together. The end of the second body is inserted axially by friction within the end of the first body and is then blocked via radial projections, which are obtained by plastic deformation of the wall of the end of the first body and are engaged against the end of the second body.

  • Patent number: 8701696
    Abstract: A device for the controlled supply of a liquid within a medical flow line, includes a retaining body rotatable on an intermediate tubular connector arranged between a tubular inlet connector and a tubular outlet connector of a primary liquid and within which a bottle pierceable and containing a secondary liquid can be fitted. The retaining body includes a hollow piercing spike, rotation blocking means of the retaining body disengageable following insertion of the bottle, axial stop means of the inserted bottle, and progressive opening means of a flow passage from the hollow spike to a flow line of the primary liquid during the rotation of the retaining body with the bottle inserted therein from a first angular position of complete closure to a second angular position of complete opening.
