  • Method and apparatus for controlling the flow rate of fluid discharge
    Patent number: 11042169
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in controlling a dispensing rate of medication or other substance via a syringe, including, without limitation, into a patient, intravenous line port or heparin lock. A fluid flow rate control apparatus has a housing defining an inner chamber with an inlet port and an outlet port. Sealing seats are formed at or near both the inlet and outlet ports, and a moveable sealing element, such as a ball, can move within the inner chamber between the sealing seats. A spring biases the ball toward the inlet port sealing seat.

  • Method and apparatus for controlling the discharge rate of a syringe
    Patent number: 10583257
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in controlling a dispensing rate of medication or other substance via a syringe, including, without limitation, into a patient, intravenous line port or heparin lock. A force (typically manual) is applied to an input plunger of a dashpot, which is directly coupled to a piston which, in turn, is coupled to an output plunger. The force applied to the input plunger is buffered and transmitted to the output plunger. The output plunger acts upon the plunger of a conventional syringe, thereby resulting in flow of medicine or any other substance from the syringe at a desired and controlled flow rate.
