Abstract:
Medical needle assemblies and needle covers for medical needles are disclosed. The needle covers include a relatively rigid outer surface and more resilient inner surface. The needle covers protect the needle from damage, allow for effective sterilization of the assembly, provide a sterile barrier, and evidence of product tampering.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for manually process blood and blood components in sterile, closed environments, which further condition the blood components for subsequent pathogen inactivation processes. The systems and methods mate the manual collection of random donor platelet units with the creation of larger therapeutic doses of platelets targeted to undergo pathogen inactivation prior to long term storage and/or transfusion.

Abstract:
A container has first and second walls, each formed of a thermoplastic sheet having a peripheral edge. A peripheral seal joins the peripheral edges together to form an interior chamber enclosed by the first and second walls. A port communicates with the interior chamber. The port is spaced from and does not extend through the peripheral seal. The port comprises a hollow thermoplastic tube, which extends through a slit in one of the first and second sheets and is oriented tangentially thereto. The slit is fused by heat about the tube, forming a heat fused junction. A medical product or a blood filter material can be housed in the interior chamber.
