Abstract: Enteral connectors having coupling features for providing removable or permanent coupling engagement with a syringe connector. In some example embodiments, the syringe connector includes an ENFit compatible female connector. In other example embodiments, the syringe connector includes a threaded tip.

Abstract: A moist heat therapy compress for therapeutic treatment of a treated body part. The moist heat therapy compress includes a fluid-permeable shell, a flexible backing fastened to the shell to define an enclosure, and hydrophilic zeolite fill granules loosely contained within the enclosure. The moist heat therapy compress is exposed to a source of moisture to cause absorption of water into the hydrophilic zeolite, and the moisture is delivered from the hydrophilic zeolite through the fluid permeable shell to the treated body portion.

Abstract: A fluid containment and dispensing system includes a sealed, variable-volume containment device having a movable plunger slidably mounted within a barrel, and a sealing head having a seal insert retained thereon. A seal arrangement includes a self-resealing cross-slit opening, an internal sealing ring for engaging a corresponding coupling of a compatible device, and a raised peripheral seal ring for sealing engagement with a closure lid.

Abstract: An enteral adapter coupling for connecting non-ENFit threaded enteral equipment with ISO 80369-3 compliant and compatible enteral equipment. The adapter coupling includes a first end substantially corresponding to an ISO 80369-3 coupling format, a second end substantially conforming to a threaded enteral feeding coupling format, and an internal lumen extending through the coupling allowing fluid communication between the first end and the second end.

Abstract: A syringe-to-syringe coupling for facilitating the transfer of fluids or medications from a first syringe to a second syringe. In example embodiments, the coupling includes a centrally-positioned hub extending from a first end to a second end, and a fluid delivery conduit provided within the hub and extending between the first and second ends. In example forms, each end of the hub includes a male tip.

Abstract: A container for collecting, storing and dispensing fluid, as in enteral feeding and/or medication deliver to neonatal infants. The container includes a hollow tube with a body, a first end, a second end, and an outer diameter. The hollow tube is configured to receive a movable plunger that advances and retracts therein to define a variable contained volume. The container also includes a sealing head assembly removably mounted at an end of the hollow tube. The sealing head assembly has a diameter or outside dimension that is substantially similar or identical to a corresponding outside diameter or dimension of the hollow tube, so that the container lies flat within the receiver of an enteral feeding pump.

Abstract: An enteral dosing control coupling comprising a cylindrical collar defining a hollow internal chamber and a lumen extension tip projecting axially into the internal chamber, the lumen extension tip defining an internal lumen extending therethrough. In example forms, the lumen extension tip is integrally formed with the cylindrical collar. In other example forms, the lumen extension tip is a separate piece and is removably engageable within the cylindrical collar.

Abstract: An improved oral administration coupler for delivery of fluids such as medications and nutritional fluids. Example oral administration couplers have a first end with an applicator for oral delivery to an infant, and a second end with a coupling compatible with an enteral fluid delivery syringe. A fluid delivery conduit extends in fluid communication from the first end to the second end, to deliver fluid from the syringe to the infant.

Abstract: A method of providing moisture therapy to a subject by applying a moist therapy compress against a treated body portion. The moist therapy compress includes a fluid-permeable shell, a flexible backing fastened to the shell to define an enclosure, and a hydrophilic zeolite fill granules loosely contained within the enclosure. The therapy compress is exposed to a source of moisture to cause absorption of water into the a hydrophilic zeolite, and the moisture is delivered from the hydrophilic zeolite through the fluid permeable shell to the treated body portion.

Abstract: The present invention is an enteral syringe for use with a support hook. The enteral syringe includes an elongated body having a hollow cavity therein and a plunger operable to selectively travel within the hollow cavity. The plunger includes a support feature adapted to receive the support hook.

Abstract: A system and method for collection of colostrum or other enteral fluid using a breast pump or other collection device directly into a syringe for storage and dispensing of the colostrum for feeding a newborn infant. A collar adaptor couples the syringe body or barrel in sealing engagement with the discharge coupling of the breast pump to transfer expressed colostrum directly from the breast pump to the collection syringe.

Abstract: A cleaning swab device and method for cleaning a fluid coupling or connector. The device includes a generally elongate cylindrical tubular swab body, and a channel formed at an end thereof to define at least one cleaning finger for insertion into a housing and/or port of the connector to remove residual fluids, clean and disinfect the connector. The cleaning device optionally further includes a guide stem or plunger configured to extend through the tubular body of the swab, having a plug at one end for sealing debris out of a lumen of the connector during cleaning.

Abstract: A fluid transfer lid for removably coupling to pharmacy bottles or containers for withdrawing and/or delivering liquid medication or other fluid therefrom or thereto. In example forms, a syringe comprising a male or female connection tip couples with a transfer port of the lid, thereby allowing the transfer of fluids from the container and to the syringe.

Abstract: A system and method for mixing fluid constituents within a multi-stage mixing syringe, and delivering the mixture formed in the mixing syringe. The multi-stage mixing syringe system includes an outer syringe barrel defining a first contained volume therein, an intermediate syringe barrel and plunger configured for coupling within the outer syringe barrel and for advancement and retraction within the first contained volume, and defining a second contained volume therein, and an inner syringe plunger configured for coupling within the intermediate syringe barrel and plunger and for advancement and retraction within the second contained volume.
