Fluid transfer connector for syringes and containers
The granted patent US12036183B2 introduces a fluid transfer lid designed for enteral applications, featuring a circular top panel and a female enteral-only coupling that extends longitudinally along a first axis. This coupling includes a lumen that runs axially through it. Additionally, the lid incorporates an attachment collar that extends in a second direction from the top panel, equipped with internal threads to engage with a container. The design also includes a first tether connecting an adapter to the attachment collar. This adapter is notable for its male ISO 80369-3 compatible coupling and a male enteral-only coupling, both of which are axially aligned and extend from a central flange member. The male enteral-only coupling is specifically designed to mate with the female enteral-only coupling of the lid.
Further specifications of the fluid transfer lid include the presence of a second tether and a closure that is connected to the adapter via this tether. The claims also specify that both the first and second tethers extend from the central flange member, enhancing the structural integrity and functionality of the device. Additionally, the closure is designed to effectively seal with the male ISO 80369-3 compatible coupling of the adapter, ensuring a secure and reliable connection for fluid transfer in enteral applications. This innovative design aims to improve safety and efficiency in medical fluid transfer processes.
