  • Patent number: 11541173
    Abstract: A safety needle system includes a safety mechanism for a needle assembly, such as a Huber needle. A main body has a channel having a proximal end to encompass tubing and a distal end for positioning proximate a needle. The main body further has a first hinge mechanism and a first latching mechanism. A movable cover has needle receptacle, a second hinge mechanism connected with the first hinge mechanism of the main body, and a biasing member for pivoting movable cover about the first and second hinge mechanisms relative to the main body. The movable cover has a second latching mechanism to latch with the first latching mechanism in a closed position, in which the safety mechanism can be undocked from the needle and slid away from the needle along the tubing. The movable cover has a release mechanism to allow pivoting of the movable cover about the hinge mechanisms such that the needle receptacle of the movable cover at least partially receives the needle of the needle assembly in an open, locked position.

  • Patent number: 11167113
    Abstract: A two-piece catheter securement system has a fixation pad with an adhesive undersurface and an antimicrobial flap. On an upper surface of the pad are cooperative first attachment members. An upper capture and retention shell has an outer shell wall. The first and second ends of the shell may have a plurality of slots for capturing and retaining administration and catheter tubing. The shell has an inner shell ceiling having a plurality of spaced apart second attachment members thereon. The first and second attachment members are aligned to cooperatively engage when the shell is urged into releasable engagement with the pad with the slots capturing and retaining the tubes.
