Abstract: A drainable ostomy pouch outlet includes a single-piece closure member including at least one transversely-extending fold-line. The at least one transversely-extending fold-lines are configured to facilitate folding up and closing of the outlet. The single-piece closure member may also include at least one axially-extending or slanted fold-lines intersecting the at least one transversely-extending fold-line, configured to facilitate opening of the outlet.

Abstract: A drainable pouch including an outlet closure and securement system is provided. The outlet closure and securement system include at least one tab and a cover including at least one slot. The drainable pouch is closed by folding up an outlet portion, wherein the folded up outlet portion is secured to and hidden behind the cover when the at least one tab is received in the at least one slot.

Abstract: A method of making drainable ostomy pouch outlet includes the steps of attaching a single-piece closure device on a downwardly extending outlet portion of the pouch and trimming side peripheries of the single-piece closure device to provide at least two separate closure members. The single-piece closure device may include at least one transversely-extending cut-line and/or at least one cut-out portions, which may be arranged to form at least two separate closure members on the outlet portion after the step of trimming.

Abstract: Fluid collection systems having a canister, a lid, and a liner assembly are described. The liner assembly may include a liner and a fitment assembly. The fitment assembly may be connected to the liner by a gland. The fitment assembly may be held in place by at least one of any number of features, including a bracket or other fitment support connected to the canister and/or the lid, supports integrated into the fitment itself, a snapping mechanism, or a notch in one or more of the canister and the lid that supports the fitment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a connector device or reconstitution device (10) for placing a first container (12), such as a liquid container (e.g. flexible container or syringe), in fluid communication with a second container (14), such as a drug vial. The connector device (10) has a first sleeve (32) having a first end (36) and a second end (38). The first sleeve (32) has at the first end (36), a first attaching member (30) adapted to attach to the liquid container (12). The connector device (10) also has a second sleeve (34) having a first end (48) and a second end (50). A second attaching member (28) is attached on the second end (50) of the second sleeve (34) and is adapted to attach to the second container (14). The second attaching member (28) has a sealing member (84). A piercing member (76) projects within the sleeves (32,34) for providing a fluid flow path from the first container (12) to the second container (14).

Abstract: The present invention provides a reconstitution device (10) for placing a first container (12), such as a liquid container (e.g. flexible container or syringe), in fluid communication with a second container (14), such as a drug vial. To this end, there is provided a connector device (10) for establishing fluid communication between the diluent container (12) and the drug vial (14). The connector device (10) has a first sleeve member (32) having a first end (36) and a second end (38). The first sleeve member (32) has at the first end (36), a first attaching member (30) adapted to attach to the liquid container (12). The connector device (10) also has a second sleeve member (34) having a first end (48) and a second end (50). The second sleeve member (34) is movable axially with respect to the first sleeve member (32) from an inactivated position to an activated position. The second sleeve member (34) has a protuberance (66) on an inner surface of the second sleeve member (34).

Abstract: A connector device is disclosed for establishing fluid communication between a diluent container having sidewalls and a drug vial. The connector has a piercing member having a first end and a second end and a central fluid pathway. The piercing member is mounted to the liquid container and has fluid accessing portions hermetically sealed from an outside environment. A vial receiving chamber is associated with the piercing member and is dimensioned to connect to the vial. The vial may be selectively attached to the device without piercing the closure of the vial and without breaching the hermetic seal of the fluid accessing portions of the piercing member. Means are provided for connecting the vial receiving chamber to the liquid container.
