  • Publication number: 20250216014
    Abstract: A breakaway coupling for use in fluid delivery systems comprises either a mechanical or magnetic coupling configuration. In the first embodiment, the coupling includes a plunger assembly having an inlet, a plunger chamber in fluid communication with the inlet, a stem chamber in fluid communication with the plunger chamber, and a plunger configured to move between positions. The first embodiment further includes a valve assembly having a valve chamber with a valve and rib, and an outlet. In the second embodiment, the coupling includes a first assembly having an inlet port, a first valve chamber housing a one-way valve, and a magnetic ring, and a second assembly having an outlet port, a second valve chamber, a protrusion, and a complementary magnetic ring. Both embodiments automatically separate and seal upon application of force.

  • Publication number: 20220401310
    Abstract: The present invention is an enteral nutrition gastrostomy access device. A permanent or semi-permanent stoma liner is adjustably positioned within a stoma channel extending through a patient's abdominal and stomach walls. The stoma liner is characterized by an adjustable bladder capable of applying variable torsional force to one or more pinch points along the interface between the stoma liner and the stoma. The stoma liner is configured to receive a plug with a central threaded channel, into which a cap or enteral feeding device may be wholly or partially inserted. The central threaded channel is characterized by requiring application of a linear push force to apply but requiring application of both a linear pull force and a torsional force to remove.
