Patent number: 4598834Abstract: A sealing cover (10) is disclosed for resealing a side injection port (14) on an IV solution container (12). Sealing cover (10) has a first end portion (28), a center portion (30) and a second end portion (32) which define a cover region (24). One side of the cover region (24) has an adhesive material (44) so that the cover can be adhesively secured to the port (14). A nonadhesive region (48) is positioned over the injectable membrane (20) of the port. The first and second end portions (28, 32) are folded relative to the center portion (30) and wrapped about the cylindrical portion (16) of the port (14) to enhance the adhesive attachment. Protrusions (36) on the center portion (30) can also be folded against the cylindrical portion for adhesive attachment. A pull tab region (26) extends from one of the end portions to permit removal of the cover.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 1985Date of Patent: July 8, 1986Assignee: U.S. Clinical Products, Inc.Inventor: Winfield S.

Patent number: 4550842Abstract: A flexible plastic sealing cover has a container cover area and pull-tab area. In one embodiment, an upper layer of plastic film is substantially impervious to moisture and bacteria. An orientated plastic film layer is bonded to the upper layer with a layer of adhesive, such that the orientated plastic layer promotes tearing when the cover is removed with the pull-tab. An adhesive material is bonded to the layer of orientated plastic film for engaging and sealing the container top of a IV solution container. In removing the sealing cover from a container, telltale strips of the cover are left in engagement with the container to indicate the sterilized seal has been removed. In another embodiment, a single layer of plastic film substantially impervious to moisture and bacteria is bonded with a layer of adhesive material. Slits may be formed in the plastic layer to promote its separation to leave telltale sealing strips on the container upon removal of the cover.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1982Date of Patent: November 5, 1985Assignee: U.S. Clinical Products, Inc.Inventor: Robert Cummings

Patent number: 4527703Abstract: A sealing cover has an upper layer of plastic film substantially impervious to moisture and bacteria. A second layer of metal foil film is bonded to the plastic layer with a layer of adhesive or by extruding the plastic onto the second layer. An additional layer of adhesive material is bonded to the second layer for adhering to a carrier liner in packaging the seal and engaging the container top in resealing the container upon removal from the carrier. Upon removal of the sealing cover from a container, telltale strips of the cover are left in engagement with the container to indicate the seal has been removed. In another embodiment, a layer of metal foil is laminated between two layers of plastic film. Slits may be formed in the cover to promote its tearing to leave telltale sealing strips on the container upon removal of the cover.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 1983Date of Patent: July 9, 1985Assignee: U.S. Clinical Products, Inc.Inventor: Robert Cummings

Patent number: 4266687Abstract: A laminated self-destructing sealing cover (10) has a container cover area (14) and pull tab (16). Protrusions (18) extend from the outer edge of the cover area (14) to promote proper use of the cover (10). A slit (20) may be into the protrusion (18) or the outer edge of the cover area (14) to promote tearing of the cover upon removal of a container. The bottom side of the cover (10) engaging the container top is a central disk (24) surrounded by an annular ring of adhesive material (28). Adhesive material (28) is self destructed upon removal of the cover (10) from the container to leave a telltale ring (28A) on the container top. In an alternate embodiment, an area of perforations (60) may be made in the area of the cover (10) for engaging the container top to leave a telltale trace of the cover on a container top upon removal of the cover (10).Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 1980Date of Patent: May 12, 1981Assignee: U.S. Clinical Products, Inc.Inventor: Robert Cummings
