Abstract

Abstract An injection site is disclosed comprising a self-sealing, puncturable member of resilient material and a housing wherein the puncturable member is compressibly confined by a swage-molded edge on the top of the housing. The injection site may be attached to an injection-receiving receptacle such as a medicament injection device as used in an assembly for intravenous administration.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 123 words
An injection site, comprising in combination: a. a self-sealing, puncturable member of resilient material, said puncturable member being a generally cylindrical body having a top surface on which is centrally located a flat, smooth surfaced raised projection, and b. a generally tubular, plastic housing wherein said puncturable member is compressibly confined, said housing having a top receptor portion whose inside diameter is greater than the inside diameter of the remaining portion of the housing so as to provide a ledge on which said puncturable member rests, the top receptor portion having a swage-molded top edge which extends over at least a portion of the top surface of said puncturable member, said swagemolded top edge being below the flat surface of said raised projection.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 123 words
An injection site, comprising in combination: a. a self-sealing, puncturable member of resilient material, said puncturable member being a generally cylindrical body having a top surface on which is centrally located a flat, smooth surfaced raised projection, and b. a generally tubular, plastic housing wherein said puncturable member is compressibly confined, said housing having a top receptor portion whose inside diameter is greater than the inside diameter of the remaining portion of the housing so as to provide a ledge on which said puncturable member rests, the top receptor portion having a swage-molded top edge which extends over at least a portion of the top surface of said puncturable member, said swagemolded top edge being below the flat surface of said raised projection.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
The injection site of claim 1 wherein the swagemolded top edge is an ultrasonically swage-molded top edge.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
The injection site of claim 1 wherein the bottom surface of said puncturable member has a centrally located, raised projection.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
The injection site of claim 1 which further includes means for attaching said housing to an injectionreceiving receptacle.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
The injection site of claim 1 wherein said site seals an opening on a medicament injection port in an assembly for parenteral fluid administration.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 56 words
The injection site of claim 5 wherein said site seals the opening of a port in a medicament injection device having three interconnecting tubular arms, two of said arms providing inlet and outlet means for communication with conduit means in said assembly, the outer end of said third arm providing the opening of said injection port.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 24 words
The injection site of claim 5 wherein said assembly includes a volumetric fluid delivery device having said injection port located on its top surface.
