Patent number: 11903901Abstract: A syringe adapter includes a housing having a first end and a second end with the first end configured to be secured to a first container, a cannula having a first end and a second end with the second end positioned within the housing, and a collet having a first end and a second end with at least a portion of the collet received within the housing. The collet includes a body defining a passageway, a seal member received by the passageway, and an arcuate, resilient locking member connected to the body of the collet. The collet is movable from a first position where the locking member is open to receive a mating connector to a second position where radially outward movement of the locking member is restricted.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Becton Dickinson and Company LimitedInventors: Laurie Sanders, Matthew Zachek

Patent number: 10369296Abstract: A safety needle device having a housing, a retractable sheath, and a needle cannula. The retractable sheath includes a tubular portion that is slideably mounted about a portion of the housing to completely or partially encase the length of the cannula. The retractable sheath includes a sheath bevel at the distal end having a blunted or angled tip. The angled tip being configured to suitable injection angles and may be fixed or rotatable. The sheath bevel may include a skin-engaging contact surface at the distal end. The needle may be connected to a needle hub at the proximal end of the housing and includes a needle bevel at the distal end. The sheath bevel and needle bevel may be offset from each other. A safety needle device having a retractable sheath having a graduated injection depth gauge to indicate needle penetration is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Andrew Wong, Matthew Zachek
