20160114096 | ANGULAR CAP FOR DISPENSING LIQUIDS - A cap and container assembly is disclosed which may be used for human body cavity irrigation or other liquid dispensing activities. The cap may include a first channel extending from a base through a neck portion to an opening in a tip portion of the cap. A side body defining a second channel may extend from the first channel near the neck portion of the cap to an opening at a distal end of the side body. An axial dimension of the tip portion may extend at an angle relative to an axial dimension of the neck portion. Liquid may flow out of the first channel under the influence of gravity and as a result of control of air flow into the second channel. | 04-28-2016 |
20160121054 | STERILITY ENHANCED CLOSURE FOR A FLUID PATH - A syringe assembly includes a syringe having a body with a proximal end and a distal end and a discharge outlet formed at the distal end of the syringe. The syringe assembly further includes a closure element having a body configured for removable engagement with at least a portion of the discharge outlet. The body of the closure element is porous to define a tortuous internal path through the body to allow venting of excess pressure within the syringe while preventing pathogens from entering the syringe. The discharge outlet is configured as a luer connector and the closure element has at least one engagement feature for engaging the luer connector. | 05-05-2016 |
20160144132 | Front Cap for a Medicament Delivery Device - A front cap for a medicament delivery device having proximal and distal ends is configured to be releasably connected to the medicament delivery device and includes a shield grabber support and a shield grabber for connecting the front cap to an outer surface of a needle shield of a syringe positioned within the medicament delivery device. The shield grabber is coupled to the shield grabber support such that the shield grabber is axially movable relative to the shield grabber support. | 05-26-2016 |
20160144134 | Safety syringe assembly and replaceable base unit thereof - A safety syringe assembly and a replaceable base unit are disclosed. The replaceable base unit of the present invention includes a base portion, a needle cover and a disengagement actuator. The base portion is configured to detachably connect with a syringe holder and has a through-hole structure, which is used to connect with an external needle. The needle cover's proximal end is connected with the base portion to allow the needle cover to move with respect to the base portion, enabling it to contain and cover the syringe needle. The disengagement actuator is configured on the base portion and disengages the base portion from the syringe holder in pressing mode. | 05-26-2016 |
