| 20090105684 | MEDICATION PORT FOR MEDICAL FLUID CONTAINER - A medication port for a flexible container is disclosed. The port is made from one or from two materials. If made from two materials, the parts are integrally joined and cannot be separated without destroying the port. The port is sterilizable by steam or gamma-irradiation, or preferably both. The port is attached to the container by a technique for integral joining, such as molding or ultrasonic welding. The port may also be equipped with a removable, peelable film attached to the housing. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090166363 | MULTI-CHAMBERED CONTAINERS - Multi-chambered containers having individually arranged chambers and methods of using same are provided. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a multi-chambered container including a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber. A first peelable seal separates the first and third chambers. The first peelable seal is independently openable by selective application of external pressure to the first chamber. A second peelable seal separates the second and third chambers. The second peelable seal is independently openable by selective application of external pressure to the second chamber. The first chamber is separated from the second chamber by a permanent seal defining a transverse opening. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090204080 | TWO-WAY VALVE CONNECTOR - A medical fluid valve is provided that includes a housing having an inlet and outlet, a septum located at the inlet, and an arm connected to the housing. The arm can also include a plurality of teeth. When the housing is in a non-accessed position, the plurality of teeth can be positioned to prevent inadvertent access to a container. Furthermore, when the housing is in an accessed position, the plurality of teeth can prevent disconnection. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20110112489 | INTERLOCKING TUBING CLAMPS - A tube clamp includes (i) a tube holding portion; (ii) a first arm extending from a first end of the tube holding portion; (iii) a second arm extending from a second end of the tube holding portion, the second armed curved so that a first catch located at a distal end of the second arm can be snap-fitted to the first arm to occlude a first tube extending through the tube holding portion; and (iv) wherein the first arm includes a locking feature configured such that when a second tube clamp is mated with the tube clamp, the locking feature interacts with a second catch of the second tube clamp so that the second tube clamp is prevented from occluding a second tube. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20100133278 | CONTAINERS AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - A container is provided comprising a body defined, at least in part, by a film, the body including at least one side seal, at least two chambers separated, at least in part, by a peelable seal, and the film including a sealant layer having a bimodal thermal behavior such that the side seal is a permanent seal and the peelable seal can, at least in part, be separated. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100247824 | NON-PVC FILMS HAVING PEEL SEAL LAYER - Films having peel seal layers and/or barrier layers are provided. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a film comprising a peel seal layer comprising a blend of a polypropylene random copolymer having a melting temperature greater than 145° C., a styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer, and an LLDPE having a melting temperature greater than 120° C. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100247935 | NON-PVC FILMS HAVING BARRIER LAYER - Films having peel seal layers and/or barrier layers are provided. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a film comprising a barrier layer comprising a caprolactam-free nylon compound. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110038755 | CONTAINERS COMPRISING PEELABLE SEALS - Multi-chambered containers having peelable seals and methods of sterilizing the same are provided. In an embodiment, the present disclosure provides a flexible fluid container comprising a first chamber and a second chamber. The second chamber is attached to a tube for providing fluid communication from the second chamber to the exterior of the container. The first chamber and the second chamber are separated by a first peelable seal having a channel so constructed and arranged to allow a controlled quantity of fluid to pass therethrough. | 02-17-2011 |
