Patent number: 6591876Abstract: A transfer guard for use by an individual for transferring contents from a supply container into a receiver container includes a supply adapter, a receiver adapter, a support structure and a fluid conducting element. The supply adapter connects the supply container to the transfer guard, and the receiver adapter connects the receiver container to the transfer guard. The support structure couples the supply adapter with the receiver adapter, and supports the fluid conducting element which, passes through the supply adapter and the receiver adapter. The fluid conducting element provides a passage for the contents to transfer from the supply container into the receiver container. The fluid conducting element also includes at least one pointed end that is substantially protected by the transfer guard from contact with the individual.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2002Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.Inventor: Jason H.

Publication number: 20020072720Abstract: An insertion set for insertion into a skin of a user. The insertion set includes an insertable substantially insoluble flexible portion and a soluble material. The insertable substantially insoluble flexible portion is capable of remaining in the skin after insertion. The soluble material is coupled to the insertable insoluble flexible portion and facilitates piercing the skin, and the soluble material dissolves in the skin of the user. Also, the soluble material holds the substantially insoluble flexible portion in a rigid state. Preferably, the insertion set is an infusion set or a sensor set. The sets may include a cannula as part of the insertable substantially insoluble portion. The cannula may be formed from a flexible material or a flexible metal tube. Preferably, the soluble material is formed from a at least one saccharide, such as a monosaccharide or a polysaccharide, a protein, a starch, other biocompatible materials, or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2000Publication date: June 13, 2002Inventors: Clifford W.

Patent number: 5957166Abstract: A fluid dispersion and delivery assembly (16) includes first and second syringes (18,20) containing a first, fluid material (32) and a second material (34), fluidly coupled together at their distal ends (22,24) by a fluid transfer assembly (2). The fluid transfer assembly includes a double Luer fitting (4) and an elongated, hollow, perforated tube (6) extending into the interior (26) of the second syringe. This permits the first, fluid material in the first syringe to be properly dispersed into the second material within the second syringe by simply pressing the plunger (28) of the first syringe. The sizing, spacing and positioning of the holes (14) in the tube can be adjusted to provide even or uneven fluid distribution within the second syringe. After dispersion, the fluid transfer assembly is dismounted from the second syringe to permit combined material (36) within the second syringe to be dispensed.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1997Date of Patent: September 28, 1999Assignee: Fusion Medical Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Jason H. Safabash

Patent number: 5908054Abstract: A fluid dispersion and delivery assembly (49) includes first and second syringes (28,50) containing a hemostatic solution (38) and a flowable gel material (58), fluidly coupled together by a fluid transfer assembly (2). The fluid transfer assembly includes a double Luer fitting (4) and a hollow tube (6), having openings (24,22) at its ends (16,18), reciprocally mounted within the fitting. This permits the hemostatic solution in the first syringe to be evenly dispersed into the flowable gel material within the second syringe by simply pressing the plunger (46) of the first syringe. After dispersion, the fluid transfer assembly is dismounted from the second syringe to permit combined material (62) within the second syringe to be dispensed.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1998Date of Patent: June 1, 1999Assignee: Fusion Medical Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jason H.
