DETACHABLE MECHANISM FOR VERIFYING DEVICE ACCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18422653 titled 'DETACHABLE MECHANISM FOR VERIFYING DEVICE ACCESS

The abstract describes a luer device consisting of a Connector and a Clip, designed to seal a proximal end of the Connector and direct fluid distally through a space between a cannula and a medical device.

  • The Connector has a body with a lumen, a distal portion for coupling to a cannula, and a proximal portion for receiving a medical device.
  • The Clip has exterior and interior portions, with the exterior portion including a channel and a longitudinal slot for communication with the Clip exterior.
  • The interior portion of the Clip, when moved from open to closed configurations, seals the proximal end of the Connector to direct fluid distally through the device and cannula space.

Potential Applications: - Medical devices requiring secure fluid transfer connections - Surgical procedures where precise fluid control is essential

Problems Solved: - Ensures a secure seal for fluid transfer - Facilitates precise and controlled fluid direction

Benefits: - Prevents leaks and contamination during medical procedures - Enables efficient and accurate fluid transfer

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Luer Device for Secure Fluid Transfer in Medical Settings" This technology can be used in various medical devices and surgical instruments to improve fluid transfer efficiency and accuracy, potentially leading to safer and more effective medical procedures.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the design of the Connector and Clip ensure a secure seal for fluid transfer? 2. What materials are typically used in the construction of luer devices to ensure compatibility with medical devices and fluids?


Original Abstract Submitted

A luer device includes Connector with a body and a lumen and Clip with exterior and interior portions. The body includes a distal portion to be coupled to cannula and a proximal portion to slidably receive a medical device. The exterior portion extends along longitudinal Axis from proximal to distal ends and includes a channel. A longitudinal slot extends along the exterior portion so that the channel is open to and in communication with a clip exterior via the slot. The interior portion extends along an interior surface of the channel defining jaws and formed of a material which, when Clip is moved from open toward closed configurations, in an operative position, is pressed against the device and Connector to seal a proximal end of Connector and direct fluid distally therethrough and through a space extending between an interior surface of cannula and an exterior surface of the device.
