FLUSH ENHANCING MALE LUER TIP DESIGN FOR SYRINGES AND ANY LUER CONNECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033495 titled 'FLUSH ENHANCING MALE LUER TIP DESIGN FOR SYRINGES AND ANY LUER CONNECTOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a luer connection device that includes a housing with a central axis, a male luer tip, and a flow diverter to direct fluid to a dead space. It also includes a flow expansion channel to increase mixing and flow through the dead space.

  • The device has a housing with a lumen and a male luer tip that extends outwardly from the central axis.
  • A flow diverter is present to direct fluid to a dead space located distal to the male luer tip.
  • The device also includes a flow expansion channel that tapers outwardly from the housing wall and partially extends along a longitudinal axis.
  • The flow expansion channel increases mixing and flow through the dead space in the fluid path distal to the male luer tip.

Potential Applications:

  • Medical devices and equipment that require luer connections, such as IV lines, catheters, and syringes.
  • Industrial applications where precise fluid flow and mixing are necessary, such as in chemical processing or laboratory equipment.

Problems Solved:

  • Dead space in luer connections can lead to stagnant fluid, which can increase the risk of contamination or affect the accuracy of fluid delivery.
  • Inadequate mixing and flow in the dead space can result in inconsistent fluid composition or concentration.

Benefits:

  • Improved fluid flow and mixing in luer connections, leading to more accurate and consistent fluid delivery.
  • Reduced risk of contamination due to stagnant fluid in the dead space.
  • Enhanced performance and reliability of medical and industrial devices that rely on luer connections.


Original Abstract Submitted

a luer connection device is disclosed having a housing including a side wall having an inside surface defining a lumen with a central axis, an proximal end, and a distal end including a male luer tip within the lumen having a central flow diverter extending outwardly from the central axis to direct a fluid to a circumferential dead space distal to the male luer tip. a luer connection device is also disclosed having a flow expansion channel disposed in the lumen tapering outward from the wall of tubular housing and partially extending along a longitudinal axis from the tip opening toward the base opening for increasing mixing and flow through a circumferential dead space in the fluid path distal to the male luer tip.
