Abstract: Bladders and elastomeric pumps for infusion assemblies are provided. For example, a bladder may comprise a body extending over a length from a first end to an opposing second end; an outer diameter; an inner diameter; and a wall thickness. The wall thickness may gradually transition from a first wall thickness at the first end to a second wall thickness at the second end. In other embodiments, the wall thickness at a midpoint of the length is different than the wall thickness at each of the first end and the second end. An elastomeric pump may comprise an inflatable elastomeric bladder and a mandrel. The bladder includes a body extending over a bladder length from a first bladder end to an opposing second bladder end and a wall thickness, which is different at a midpoint of the bladder length than at each of the first and second bladder end.

Abstract: A drug administration device including a push button, plunger, housing extending in an axial direction to define top and bottom ends, and bolus refill indicator is provided. The indicator is disposed on the plunger and visible through a window in the housing. The indicator can include a first section having a first color located towards the top end of the housing, a second section having a second color located towards the bottom end of the housing, and a third section disposed therebetween including a gradient between the first and second colors. Alternatively, the indicator can include a line extending in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The housing includes a first indicator reference point that is a first color and aligned with a bottom of the indicator window and a second indicator reference point that is a second color and aligned with a top of the indicator window.

Abstract: Mandrels and elastomeric pumps for infusion assemblies are provided. For example, a mandrel may comprise a body extending over a length from a first end to an opposing second end; an outer diameter; a bore extending within the body; an inlet port defined near the first end; and a fill port defined between the first and second ends. The inlet and fill ports are in fluid communication with the bore. The outer diameter of the mandrel at a midpoint of the length is different than the outer diameter at each of the first end and the second end. In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the mandrel gradually transitions from a first outer diameter at the first end to a second outer diameter at the second end. An elastomeric pump may include an exemplary mandrel and an inflatable elastomeric bladder disposed on the mandrel.

Abstract: Handles for containers and sterilization containers are provided. For example, a handle for a sterilization container comprises a base portion, a grip portion connected to the base portion, and a stop. The base portion is repositionable with respect to the container to change an orientation of the grip portion with respect to a bottom surface of the container. In some embodiments, a sterilization container comprises a body having a bottom surface, a lid, a first handle attached to a first end of the body, and a second handle attached to a second end of the body. Each handle includes a base portion rotatable within a plane parallel to the respective end of the body to reposition the handle with respect to the body, which changes an orientation of a grip portion of each handle with respect to the bottom surface.
