Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A formed, filled, and sealed container (100), access port (200, 300, 400, 500) and method for establishing fluid flow from the container to an administrative set is provided. The container (100) is collapsible and has an inlet (120) and an outlet (130). A hollow port (160) is sealed to the container and a perforator inside the port pierces and becomes embedded in the container. Solution in the container is withdrawn into the port. A line (140) attached to the port and an administrative set further establishes flow between the container and the administration set. The port may be operated with a single-hand to establish fluid flow from the container to the administrative set. After the perforator is embedded in the container,a lock on the port prevents the perforator from removal from the container. Activation of the lock produces an audible and/or visible notification.
Abstract:
A steam sterilizable monolayer medical tubing comprising a blend of a melt strength enhancing agent of a homopolymer or copolymer of polypropylene having a melt flow index of greater than 10 and in an amount of 1-10 % by weight and a second component selected from the group of (i) a selectively hydrogenated block copolymer of a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene and (ii) a selectively hydrogenated block copolymer of a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene to which has been grafted, an alpha, beta-olenfically unsaturated monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acid reagent.
Abstract:
A peritoneal dialysis solution buffered with L-histidine to a pH of at least 6.5. An apparatus and method for utilizing the solution is also disclosed.

Abstract:
"filmes de sobre-saco desprendível". a presente invenção refere-se a uma estrutura de camada polimérica desprendível (16) tendo uma primeira camada de agente de vedagem (30) incluindo um polímero contendo etileno e uma segunda camada de agente de vedagem (34) incluindo um polímero contendo polipropileno fixada na primeira camada de agente de vedagem ao longo de uma vedação desprendível. a presente invenção também proporciona um recipiente de sobre-saco (10) incluindo uma primeira parede lateral (12) tendo uma primeira camada de agente de vedagem (30) de um polímero contendo etileno e uma segunda parede lateral (14) tendo uma segunda camada de agente de vedagem (34) de um polímero contendo propileno. a segunda camada de agente de vedagem é fixada na primeira camada de agente de vedagem ao longo de uma vedação periférica desprendível (16).
Abstract:
Polymer films having hollow microspheres to simultaneously reduce the coefficient of friction and residue on ignition, and methods of making films and containers from the films. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a film including at least one layer having hollow microspheres mixed within the layer. The microspheres can be in a concentration ranging from about 250 ppm to about 750 ppm within the layer.
