    Abstract: A system (100) includes a first assembly (110A) and a second assembly (110B). The first assembly (110A) includes a body (120) forming a first interior volume, a plunger (130) comprising a first distal end disposed within the first interior volume, a wire comprising a first distal end secured to the first distal end of the plunger (130), and a plunger clip (140) configured to interface with the plunger (130) and the body (120) to prevent actuation of the plunger (130). The second assembly (110B) includes a cowl (150) forming a second interior volume, a needle comprising a hub and a shaft, and a cowl cap disposed partially within the hub to secure the implant in the shaft. A first distal end of the shaft is connected to the hub. The hub is disposed within the second interior volume. The shaft is configured to receive an implant.

    Abstract: The present technology includes, for example, an insertion assembly comprising a frame including a tubular sidewall defining an internal cavity and a slot extending longitudinally along a portion of the sidewall. The insertion assembly further comprises a medical device configured to be inserted into the user's skin and a carrier carrying the medical device and at least partially disposed within the internal cavity of the frame. The carrier can be axially movable within the frame from a first, cocked position to a second extended position proximate. The carrier can include a protrusion disposed within the slot of the frame and configured to slide within the slot when the carrier moves axially within the frame. A ratio of a height of the protrusion to a width of the protrusion is greater than 1.

    Abstract: A flexible tubing for a cannula has a hollow tubing body having a length dimension from a first end to a second end, and an outer diameter of no more than 0.9 mm. The tubing body has a section of enhanced flexibility of a greater flexibility than one or more other sections of the tubing body. The section of enhanced flexibility is spaced from the first end of the tubing body by a distance D, where D is within a range of 3.0 mm to 5.0 mm for a flexible tubing having a length of about 9.0 mm, and where D is within a range of 1.0 mm to 2.9 mm for a flexible tubing having a length of about 6.0 mm.

    Abstract: Inserter devices provide manual insertion of an insertion needle and cannula and subsequent automatic retraction of the insertion needle. The inserter devices include insertion guards that inhibit insertion of the insertion needle and cannula unless a compressive force applied to the device exceeds a threshold. As the user applies more compressive force, the device remains unactuated until the threshold-force is exceeded, whereupon the movement is sudden and rapid. As a result, it feels to the user that the insertion is being driven by an automatic insertion mechanism.

    Abstract: A needle stick prevention device (10, 110) includes a needle shield (20, 120) for selectively covering a distal end of a needle (41, 141). A needle hub (40, 140) is movably received within the needle shield (20, 120). The needle hub (40, 140) includes a proximal end (42, 142), a distal end (46, 146), a needle (41, 141) fixedly connected to the distal end of the needle hub (40, 140), and a plurality of ribs (54) or a cylinder (150) disposed between the proximal and distal ends. An actuation button movably received in a transverse opening of the needle shield (20, 120) to engage the needle shield (20, 120), the needle hub (40, 140) and a medical device. A spring (58, 158) is disposed between the needle hub (40, 140) and actuation member to automatically retract the needle (41, 141) into the needle shield (20, 120).

    Abstract: A barrier system is provided for use in reducing infections associated with post-operative surgical incision and/or a percutaneous medical device, such as a catheter, that is disposed within the surgical incision. Such a barrier system may include: a barrier device having a skin-contacting surface and a catheter-receiving surface; and an adhesive composition configured for adhering to skin, the barrier device, and/or the catheter so as to form a barrier at or adjacent to an incision in the skin where the catheter is percutaneously inserted through the skin. A tensioning anchor and associated system of two or more tensioning anchors is provided for post-operative wound closure. A method for applying and removing the barrier device and tensioning anchors is also provided.
