  • Patent number: 11623075
    Abstract: Described herein is a drug product delivery device and method of delivering a drug on a swab. The drug product delivery device may include an applicator platform housed within a rigid housing. The applicator platform may be in the form of a plunger. The foil drug reservoir cap creates a fluid storage chamber disposed between the foil drug reservoir cap and the plunger. A series of fluidic channels carry fluid from the fluid storage chamber to an applicator. A frangible seal is attached to the plunger between the fluid storage chamber and the applicator. The frangible seal blocks a fluid from moving from the fluid storage chamber into the series of fluidic channels. Actuation of the plunger causes the frangible seal to be ruptured, which causes the fluid to exit the fluid storage chamber and enter into the fluidic channels. The fluidic channels carry the fluid to the applicator.

    Abstract: A hand attachable animal washing apparatus, attachable upon the hand of a user, enables singlehanded control of water flow and application of water into the coat of an animal. Control of water flow though a molded body portion is effective by singlehanded operation of a valve assembly disposed interiorly within the molded body portion. A user is enabled to open and close the valve assembly by compressing a compressible portion disposed proximally overlying the user's palm when wearing the apparatus upon one hand. A user may thereby control and apply water applied to an animal with one hand while securing and comforting the animal with the other hand.

  • Patent number: 9976660
    Abstract: A check valve including an elastomeric valve element having a dome-shaped configuration that seals in its at-rest position occluding fluid flow in both directions. The dome-shaped elastomeric valve element is constructed in such a way to be deflectable, such as being activated by the external device such as a male luer whereupon the valve is cracked open to become a two-way valve allowing flow in both directions. The valve element may also be cracked open by sufficient fluid pressure in its inlet. The valve element is self-aligning. The dome-shaped of the valve element includes cut-outs for additional fluid flow, thereby streamlining flow while reducing the potential for air entrapment. The underside of the dome-shaped valve element also includes a thickened concave undersurface and thickened support legs to significantly increase the resistance to high backpressures, while also minimizing potential air entrapment.

  • Patent number: 8491214
    Abstract: An applicator tip formed of a cup-shaped, internally threaded, cap is attached to the threaded neck of a bottle containing a liquid. A tubular spout extending from a hole in the base of the cap into the neck passes liquid through the hole into a porous pad on the base for application to a surface. A continuous, flange, surrounds the spout and is spaced uniformly inwardly of the cap threads to provide an inverted wedge-shaped annular space between the flange and the cap threads. The flange resiliently presses radially outwardly, and the cap threads press radially inwardly against the bottle neck to seal against liquid escaping over the rim of the neck.
