Patent number: 11690992Abstract: A fluid connector, including a fluid path portion having an integral cannula extending in a first direction from a interior surface, and a latching portion secured to the fluid path portion and having a pair of displaceable arms. Each arm includes a connector latch disposed at a first cantilevered end of the arm, and an activation lever disposed at an opposite cantilevered end of the arm and extending in a second direction, not parallel to the first direction. A portion of the activation lever includes a first lateral tactile feature aligned substantially parallel to the first direction to prevent forward slippage of the fluid connector from a user's grasp in the second direction, and a portion of the activation lever includes a lateral tactile feature aligned substantially parallel to the second direction to prevent slippage of the fluid connector from a user's grasp in the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Rachael Turner Kelly, Victor Isaac Politis, Alex Chaves, Gail Marie Siewiorek, Eric Bene, Attila Kiss, Megan Kohnen, Marc Hunter, Laurie Bums, Gail Hunter, Max Ryan
