Patent number: 9358348Abstract: A safety needle apparatus is provided. The safety needle apparatus includes a needle assembly including a needle mount and a needle cannula. The needle cannula defines a lumen and has a sharpened distal tip. The needle mount supports the proximal end of the needle cannula and is adapted to engage an intravenous line. The safety apparatus includes a shield positioned about the needle cannula. The needle cannula is movable in relation to the shield. The apparatus also includes a lock insert supported on the needle cannula and a locking member extending from an internal surface of the shield, wherein the locking insert and the locking member are configured to prevent movement of the needle cannula. A platform including a base member, which is configured to support the needle cannula at a substantially orthogonal orientation to the plane of a top surface of the platform and supports the shield, is included.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2008Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Eugene E.

Publication number: 20140018737Abstract: A tunneler device includes a handle, a shaft extending distally from the handle, a connecting segment, a fluid channel, and a one-way flush valve. The connecting segment includes a body positioned on a distal end of the shaft configured to engage one end of a catheter. The fluid channel extends from the handle to a distal end of the connecting segment. The fluid channel is configured to direct fluid to be selectively passed therethrough for flushing a catheter. The one-way flush valve is supported on the handle and is disposed in fluid communication with the fluid channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2012Publication date: January 16, 2014Applicant: TYCO HEALTHCARE GROUP LPInventor: Casey CHEBATOR

Patent number: 8496643Abstract: A cap assembly is disclosed for use with a lock solution delivery device. The cap assembly includes a housing defining a receptacle and having an inlet end and an outlet end. A plunger is movable axially within the receptacle from a retracted position to an advanced position and is rotatably supported within the receptacle from a first position to a second position. The plunger includes an axial extension configured to non-rotatably engage a syringe connected to the inlet end of the housing. The plunger is positioned to move from the first position to the second position in response to rotatable detachment of a syringe from the inlet end of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Casey Chebator, Todd Chelak
