Application: Medical connector with elongated portion within seal collar (Patent ID: US20240189568A1)
The patent filed by ICU Medical Inc. relates to medical connectors with a unique design featuring a housing, elastomeric seal, and rigid elongated portion. The housing includes a proximal body member and base member forming an internal cavity with a proximal abutment surface. The elastomeric seal, without a guide member, is positioned within the internal cavity, while the rigid elongated portion is located in such a way that the tip is more proximal than the seal's proximal surface in an open configuration. The design aims to provide effective antiseptic wiping and prevent proximal axial movement of the seal.
The medical connector patent includes claims detailing the specific components and configurations of the connector, such as the integrally formed elastomeric seal, absence of a guide member, and the interaction between the seal, elongated portion, and housing. The design allows for neutral displacement and effective disinfection, with the seal's proximal end flush with the housing opening in the closed position. Additional features like an internal closure system and regulator are also mentioned in the claims, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of the connector's design for medical applications.
