Abstract
A medical device having a vascular access device including a rotationally activated flow control valve having, a body including a distal adapter and a proximal adapter defining a lumen extending therethrough and a septum. A method of use in which the connection of first and second medical devices results in the automatic activation of the rotational flow control valve.
Claims26
A medical device, comprising:
- a vascular access device further comprising
- a rotationally activated flow control valve, said flow control valve comprising,
- a body including a distal adapter and a proximal adapter defining a lumen extending therethrough;
- and
- a septum, wherein said septum at least substantially seals said lumen extending through said body;
- wherein rotation of one of said proximal adapter or said distal adapter in relation to the other results in the activation of said valve.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- providing a first medical device having a lumen and rotationally activated valve,
- connecting a second medical device having a lumen to said first medical device such that said rotationally activated valve is automatically opened and said lumen are in fluid communication.
A medical device comprising
- a rotationally activated flow control valve, said flow control valve comprising,
- a body including at least two body sections, defining a lumen extending therethrough;
- and
- a septum, wherein said septum at least substantially seals said lumen extending through said body;
- wherein rotation of at least one of said body sections in relation to said septum results in the activation of said valve.
