Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides a system including: a cannula and a valve. The valve includes: a first port coupled to the cannula; a second port adapted and configured for coupling to tubing; a third port comprising a resilient pierceable seal; and a central cylindrical plug received between the first port, the second port, and the third port. The central plug includes a through-channel adapted and configured to selectively couple two of the ports. In a first position, the first port, the third port, and the through-channel are coupled such that a dilator can pass: from outside the rotary valve; through the pierceable seal; through the first port; and out a distal end of the cannula. In a second position, the first port and the second are port are fluidically coupled.

Abstract: A device for collecting a bone graft material comprises a canister extending defining a filter-receiving space therein, the canister including a connection for connecting to a vacuum source, a proximal end of the canister including a first locking feature and a filter element sized and shaped to be received within the filter-receiving space of the canister, the filter element including a channel extending therethrough, the channel defined via a mesh material and a proximal end of the filter element including a second locking feature releasably engageable with the first locking feature of the canister via a rotation of the filter element about a longitudinal axis thereof relative to the canister in combination with an extractor sized and shaped to be received within the channel of the filter element, the extractor defining a graft material receiving space therein and being releasably engageable with the extractor.

Abstract: A cannula insertion device for use with an insertion set includes an insertion module and a cannula insertion needle. The insertion module has a housing (with a housing distal end, a housing proximal end, and a housing opening extending from the distal to the proximal end) and a plunger that is disposed within the housing opening. The plunger has a plunger distal and proximal ends. The cannula insertion needle is attached to the plunger distal end. In addition, the plunger distal end is configured to releasably retain a cannula cartridge of the infusion set in operative alignment with the cannula insertion needle and the housing distal end is configured to releasably retain an infuser base of the infusion set in operative alignment with the cannula cartridge.

Abstract: An infusion set kit includes an infusion set and a cannula insertion device. The infusion set has an infuser base configured for adhesive attachment to an infusion site on a user's skin, a cannula cartridge configured for operative engagement with the infuser base, and a hub configured for user-controlled 360 degree (360°) rotary engagement with the infuser base.

Abstract: A method for inserting a cannula of an infusion set into an infusion site includes releasably retaining a cannula cartridge of an infusion set on a distal end of a cannula insertion device plunger. The method also includes releasably retaining an infuser base on a distal end of a housing of the cannula insertion device. Subsequently, the method involves moving the plunger from a retracted position, wherein the cannula cartridge is remote from the infuser base, to an advanced position wherein the cannula cartridge is engaged with the infuser base and a cannula of the cannula cartridge has been subcutaneously inserted into an infusion site by a cannula insertion needle attached to the plunger.
