  • Publication number: 20220313976
    Abstract: The disclosed cap for attachment to a medical implement having a male protrusion includes a movable plunger and a depth stop for limiting the translational movement of the plunger.

  • Publication number: 20220241520
    Abstract: The disclosed tamper-evident closure (100) encloses a medical access device, such as a vascular access device (200), such that it will be visibly apparent if the medical access device contained in the tamper-evident closure becomes exposed. The tamper-evident closure cannot be reapplied over the medical access device in a way to look the same as it did prior to exposing the medical access device. The tamper-evident closures comprise a holding cavity (110), a securing mechanism (160), and an apparent release. The disclosed tamper-evident closures are well suited for securing a medical access device that has an access point for delivering fluid to a patient or removing fluid from a patient.

  • Patent number: 11213840
    Abstract: A mixer for a plural component spray gun is presented. The mixer has a mixer body comprising a mixing chamber with an outlet. The mixer also has a first fluid component inlet, coupled to a first fluid conduit, configured to introduce a first fluid component into the mixing chamber. The mixer also has a second fluid component inlet, coupled to a second fluid conduit, configured to introduce a second fluid component into the mixing chamber. The first and second fluid component inlets are offset with respect to a centerline of the mixing chamber and positioned such that a first fluid flow from the first inlet is directed toward the outlet, and a second fluid flow from the second inlet is directed toward the outlet.
