Patent number: 11617864Abstract: A compliant catheter adapter may include a catheter adapter body formed of a compliant material. The catheter adapter body may have a generally elongate shape and an inner chamber. The catheter adapter body may include a compression resistant septum disposed toward the proximal end of the catheter adapter body. The compression resistant septum may have a lumen configured to receive an elongate object. The compression resistant septum may also be coupled to a compression cap that imparts a compression force on the compression resistant septum such that the lumen narrows and seals when the elongate object is removed from the lumen.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Jonathan Karl Burkholz, Ralph L. Sonderegger, Bart D. Peterson, Bin Wang, Olivia Hu, Neville Chia

Patent number: 11571551Abstract: An IV catheter system may have a catheter component with a catheter hub, a cannula extending distally from the catheter hub, and a push feature adjacent to the catheter hub. The IV catheter system may also have a needle component with a needle hub, a needle extending distally from the needle hub along an axis, and a grip extending from the needle hub, generally parallel to the axis, with a pull feature. In the insertion configuration, the needle may be positioned within the cannula and the distal end of the needle hub may be seated in a needle port of the catheter hub. In the fluid delivery configuration, the needle may be positioned outside the catheter hub. The push and pull features may be positioned to facilitate manipulation with a single hand to move the IV catheter system from an insertion configuration to a fluid delivery configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2019Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Jonathan Karl Burkholz, Bart D. Peterson, Stephen T. Bornhoft, Neville Chia, Siddharth Singh, Ralph L. Sonderegger, Bin Wang

Publication number: 20220241562Abstract: A sheath stabilizer can include a housing, a clamp in the housing, and an adhesive pad disposed on a base of the housing. The housing can include a sheath passageway longitudinally extending through the housing and the base oblique to the sheath passageway. The clamp can be located in a proximal-end portion of the housing around the sheath passageway. The adhesive pad can be disposed on the base and can be configured for adhering the sheath stabilizer to at least a patients skin. The sheath stabilizer can be part of a sheath-and-stabilizer assembly, which can include a sheath configured for percutaneous access.

Publication number: 20170106147Abstract: The invention relates to an injection device with a luer fitting. The injection device has a compressible syringe body defining a reservoir. A male luer fitting has a channel therethrough for conducting contents of the reservoir, and a luer tip at an end of said male luer fitting opposing said base end. A first connecting structure is arranged on said male luer fitting between said base end and said luer tip. A shield cap is arranged on the male luer fitting. The shield cap has a second connecting structure interacting with said first connecting structure to prevent inadvertent movement of said shield cap relative to said male luer fitting when said shield cap is arranged at said first position. A first seal is provided for sealing said channel at said luer tip and a second seal is provided for sealing the outer surface and the luer tip.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2016Publication date: April 20, 2017Inventors: Yu Leng Neville Chia, Roderick Hausser, Xua Huyen Nguyen Huu, Hoong Sim Lee, Hong Tat Teddy Lim
