Publication number: 20200360679Abstract: An infusion set system includes a base and a fluid connector removably coupleable thereto. The fluid connector includes a fluid path portion and at least one connector latch displaceably connected to the fluid path portion and displaceable to a latching position in which at least a portion of the connector latch extends into the fluid path portion, which includes a cannula extending from a top interior surface thereof, and a plurality of internal sidewalls corresponding to at least two of a plurality of flat side surfaces of at least one of a base section and a base latch, thereby facilitating connection between the base and the fluid connector in a plurality of discrete rotational connecting positions. When the fluid connector is locked to the base, the at least one connector latch engages a base latching portion of the base and restricts proximal displacement of the fluid connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2020Publication date: November 19, 2020Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Ralph Sonderegger, Ronald Marsh, Charles Hwang, Stephen Richards, Victor Politis, Joshua Horvath, Benjamin Glace, James Sullivan, Ryan Lambert, Gregory Venditto, Eric Bené

Patent number: 10729861Abstract: A metered dose inhaler (1) for dispensing aerosol doses comprises an actuation housing (2) adapted to receive a canister (4). The canister (4) is configured to move from a rest position to an activation position in which a valve (7) of the canister (4), positioned at a valve end (8) of the canister (4), is depressed against a bottom portion of the actuation housing such that an aerosol dose is released. The inhaler (1) further comprises a mechanical dose (10) counter comprising an indicator member which is constructed and arrangement to undergo a predetermined count-indicating motion when an aerosol dose is released. Moreover, the inhaler (1) comprises a triggering unit (11) for triggering at least one electrical switch (12) when the canister (4) is moved from the rest position to the activation position whereby an electrical signal is generated. Also part of the inhaler (1) is a processing unit for processing the signal generated by the switch (12) upon being triggered.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Presspart GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Richard Turner, Benjamin Jung, Dana Shears, Hans-Peter Schmelzer, David Hibbard, Dean H. Owens, Joseph St Onge, Hannah Bond, Benjamin Glace, Douglas Browne, Karl Edward Robinson

Patent number: 10524948Abstract: An adjustable orthopedic strut system with a locking system that utilizes an incremental or “micro” adjustment method that is size adaptable and easy to use. The adjustable orthopedic strut system has a locking system, adjustable support members, struts, and an indented molded track. The adjustable orthopedic strut system improves user fitting and sizing creating better support and comfort. The adjustable orthopedic strut system provides “micro” incremental adjustments on support members to allow strategic positioning of the support members near surgical incisions. Furthermore, the adjustable orthopedic strut system locks and telescopes on a non-interrupted strut surface with minimal “snag” points, thus reducing the difficulty in achieving fine adjustments.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2014Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: ORTHOCARE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, LLCInventors: Steven Santaniello, Benjamin Glace
