Abstract: A slip luer assembly includes a hub member and a latch member coupled to the hub member. The hub member includes an outer hub surface, an inner hub surface and a window surface. The window surface defines a window extending from the outer hub surface to the inner hub surface. The latch member includes at least one blade. The latch member is configured to be actuated between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the at least one blade is not positioned within the window of the hub member. In the second position, the at least one blade is positioned at least partially within the window of the hub member.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for hydrating a particulate biomaterial with a liquid biomaterial includes a vacuum device and a valve for withdrawing a gas from the particulate biomaterial and introducing the liquid biomaterial. The valve includes a hub, a valve body, a particulate port, a vacuum port, and a liquid port. The valve body selectively moves between first and second positions. The valve body at least partially defines a first passage and a second passage. The particulate port, the vacuum port, and the liquid port are each configured to fluidly connect to a particulate container, the vacuum device, and the liquid container, respectively. In the first position, the first passage fluidly connects the vacuum port to the particulate port for withdrawing the gas from the particulate container. In the second position, the second passage fluidly connects the liquid port to the particulate port for hydrating the particulate biomaterial.

Abstract: A device and method for improving hydration of a biomaterial includes a syringe having a cavity therein and a distal opening, an end cap, and a wall operatively coupled to the end cap. The end cap has a distal plate with an inlet and is removably attached to the syringe to cover the distal opening. The wall is positioned proximate to the inlet and at least partially defines a volume in fluid communication with the inlet. An orifice extends through the wall and fluidly connects the volume to the cavity. A flow of a liquid component of biomaterial diffuses through the orifice and is introduced into a particulate component of biomaterial. As such, the liquid component of biomaterial hydrates the particulate component of biomaterial.

Abstract: A dispensing assembly includes a syringe body having a barrel and a dispensing tip. The dispensing assembly further includes a mixing and plunging assembly configured for coupling with the syringe body and comprising a mixer and a plunger. The mixer is configured for mixing material in the barrel and has a rod and a mixing element removably connected with the rod. The plunger is configured to dispense material from the barrel through the dispensing tip. Also, the rod is configured to be detached from the mixing element and used to push material out of the dispensing tip.

Abstract: A method and device for dispensing a liquid from a tip includes a support structure, a cartridge, and a drive unit. The support structure is adapted for supporting a collapsible container having a connector end and a closed end. The support structure includes a liquid passage adapted for fluid communication with the collapsible container for selectively discharging the liquid. The cartridge includes an actuator selectively movable from a first position to the second position via the operatively connected drive unit. At least a portion of the actuator moves toward the connector end when moving from the first position to the second position. The actuator is adapted for gradually compressing the collapsible container from the closed end toward the connector end in order to discharge liquid droplets.
