  • Patent number: 11944786
    Abstract: An infusion device configured to implant a cannula and a sensor in a user. The infusion device includes a first unit defining a first housing and a second unit defining a second housing. The second housing is configured to engage the first housing. The infusion device includes a first insertion needle configured to implant the cannula in the user and a second insertion needle configured to implant the sensor in the user when the second unit engages the first unit. The infusion device includes processing circuitry in electrical communication with the sensor and a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the cannula. In examples, the first unit and the second unit are configured to engage using an inserter.

  • Patent number: 11872366
    Abstract: A connecting structure for medical use includes a male assembly 1 and a female connector 2. The male assembly 1 includes a male connector 10 and a threadedly engageable cylinder 20. A male luer portion 11 of the male connector 10 and a female luer portion 2a of the female connector 2 are joined by turning the threadedly engageable cylinder 20 in a tightening direction in a state where a female screw 21a of the threadedly engageable cylinder 20 and an engageable protrusion 2c of the female connector 2 are threadedly engaged with each other. A torque limiting mechanism 50 is disposed between an operation cylinder 30 mounted on an outer periphery of the threadedly engageable cylinder 20 and the threadedly engageable cylinder 20. Engageable teeth 51 are formed in an inner periphery of one end portion of the operation cylinder 30 over an entire periphery. A slit 54 is formed in one end portion of the threadedly engageable cylinder 20.
