Patent number: 9889248Abstract: A storage tray for one or more syringes includes a recess for each of the syringes to be held in the tray. Each recess has first and second opposed sidewalls that define a space therebetween for receiving the barrel of the syringe. Each of the first and second sidewalls has one or more deformable projections thereon that protrude into the space between the sidewalls for positively retaining the barrel of the syringe between the first and second sidewalls. Additionally, a slot is provided for receiving the thumb rest of the plunger. The slot includes a third sidewall oriented generally transverse to the first and second sidewalls, with the third sidewall including a further projection for engaging a surface of the thumb rest. Preferably, a plurality of such transverse slots is provided to accommodate different positions of the plunger relative to the syringe barrel.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignees: Baxalta GmbH, Baxalta IncorporatedInventors: Brian R.

Patent number: 9125633Abstract: An applicator for mixing and applying multi-component compositions to a work surface, such as two-component surgical sealants. A luer hub sub-assembly having a proximal hub and a distal hub, an elongate, four-lumened cannula, and a spray tip sub-assembly are provided, with interconnections between the sub-assemblies preserving isolation of the fluid components from one another. The tip cap sub-assembly includes registration structure to assure proper alignment between tip cap and tip insert. The end wall of the tip cap includes a spinner region with three feeders or feeder channels leading thereto, the fluid components remaining isolated from one another in two of the feeders or feeder channels, and initiating mixing with one another in a third of the feeders or feeder channels.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignees: BAXTER INTERNATIONAL INC., BAXTER HEALTHCARE SAInventors: Daniel E.

Patent number: 8221529Abstract: In an embodiment, a dialysis fluid cassette is disclosed. The cassette includes a plurality of walls defining at least one valve chamber, a dialysis fluid inlet, a dialysis fluid outlet and a dialysis fluid pathway. The cassette further includes a baffle extending from a first one of the walls to an opposing second one of the walls.
