  • Patent number: 11027095
    Abstract: A midline catheter is provided. The midline catheter includes a shaft defining a lumen, the shaft having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end includes two or more opposing notches thereon, each of the notches having an open notch distal end and an opposing notch proximal end formed as an arch. The catheter may also include written indicia thereon to indicate that it is a midline catheter and/or is power injectable or non-power-injectable.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 8, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 8, 2021
    Assignee: MEDICAL COMPONENTS INC.

  • Patent number: 8512298
    Abstract: An I.V. flush syringe assembly includes a barrel having an inside surface defining a chamber for retaining fluid, an open proximal end and a distal end with a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with the chamber. An elongate plunger having a proximal end, a distal end and a stopper is slidably positioned in fluid-tight engagement with the inside surface of the barrel for drawing fluid into and out of the chamber by movement of the stopper relative to the barrel. The plunger includes anti-reflux structure for minimizing stopper deflection when fluid has been delivered from the chamber and the stopper is being forced against the distal end of the chamber.

  • Patent number: 7331942
    Abstract: An I.V. flush syringe assembly includes a barrel having an inside surface defining a chamber for retaining fluid, an open proximal end and a distal end including a distal wall with an elongate tip extending distally therefrom having a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with the chamber. A plunger having an elongate body portion and a stopper slidably positioned in fluid-tight engagement with the inside surface of the barrel is provided. Anti-reflux structure for controlling stopper deflection when fluid has been delivered from the chamber and the stopper is in contact with the distal wall is provided.
