Abstract: An enteral feeding pump is provided for mounting a tubing set. The enteral feeding pump comprises a base having an outer side. A rotor is supported on the outer side of the base for engaging a tube section of a tubing set. A tubing set platform is provided on the outer side of the base and defines a pair of tube retainer locks. At least one tube retainer lock comprises an elongated channel for receiving a tube retainer defined by a retainer body and a pair of laterally opposing retainer tabs, tab rest surfaces located on laterally opposing sides of the channel, and tab retention surfaces spaced from the tab rest surfaces and defining elongated slots extending in a longitudinal direction parallel to the elongated channel. The elongated slots each include an entrance end for receiving a retainer tab and a longitudinally opposing inner end.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing device includes a handle having a hollow interior defining a fluid reservoir. A base member is affixed to the lower end of the handle and has a bottom surface, and a frangible cover is secured over the bottom surface and forms a seal across the opening of the fluid reservoir. A swab head comprising an absorbent sponge-like member and a button element is supported on the base member. The sponge-like member has opposing outer and inner sides wherein the inner side is affixed to the base member. The button element includes a foot portion at a first longitudinal end adjacent to the outer side of the sponge-like member and includes a penetration end at an opposing second longitudinal end of the button element.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing device including an elongated handle having a hollow interior defining a fluid reservoir. A base member is affixed to a lower end of the handle and a frangible cover is secured over a bottom surface of the base member and forms a seal across an opening of the fluid reservoir. A swab head supports an absorbent sponge-like member and includes an upper side supporting a cover-rupturing member. A hinge segment is affixed to the base member and to the swab head, the hinge segment defining a pivot axis about which the swab head pivots to move the swab head from an open position with the cover-rupturing member spaced from the frangible cover to a closed position with the cover-rupturing member extending through the frangible cover and into the opening of the fluid reservoir.

Abstract: A medical site cover for a needle-free intravenous connector having a septum area and external threads. The medical site cover includes an elastomeric cap having an opening to an inner cavity. The inner cavity includes a first chamber adapted for receiving and surrounding the connector and a second chamber located between the first chamber and a closed end of the cap. A compressible member formed of an absorbent material is located in the second chamber, wherein the compressible member is a sphere.

Abstract: A nasal retention system for securing a nasal tube extending through a nose of a patient. The retention system comprises a clip member formed of a soft elastomeric material and including first and second pivotally connected clip portions. Each of the clip portions have a generally hemispherical shape such that a generally spherical shape is defined when the clip portions are pivoted together. The first clip portion includes an elongated nasal tube channel extending into the first clip portion, and extending between diametrically opposite sides of a perimeter of the first clip portion. The elongated channel receives a nasal tube therethrough when mating surfaces of the two clip portions are in mating engagement with each other.

Abstract: A safety needle assembly including a medical needle and a needle protection assembly. The needle protection assembly includes a cover member surrounding a portion of the medical needle and is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A base sub-assembly of the needle protection assembly is attached to an end of the cover member and includes a base plate defining a through hole receiving the medical needle therethrough in the retracted condition of the needle protection assembly. A needle stop member, including an integrally formed spring portion and stop plate, is positioned on a planar side of the base plate, and the spring portion biases the stop plate in linear movement to cover the hole in response to movement of the needle protection assembly to the extended condition.

Abstract: A nasal retention system for securing a nasal tube extending through a nose of a patient. The retention system includes a clip member includes an elongated body formed of a resilient material, and defines a thickness between first and second planar sides. An adhesive coating is provided on the first planar side, and a detachable film cover is applied over the adhesive coating. The elongated body is bendable about a minor axis parallel to a minor dimension of the elongated body to adhere a first portion of the first planar side to a second portion of the first planar side.
