Abstract: A polymer is formed from monomers including a zwitterionic monomer, a cationic monomer and a hydrophobic termonomer. The polymer may be cross-linkable. The polymer may be coated onto a surface from a liquid coating composition followed by contacting the coated surface with heparin. The double coated substrates have improved heparin activity over extended periods as compared to heparinised surfaces which are commercially available. Other anionically charged mucopolysaccharides may be used. The polymers may also scavenge heparin from treated blood to avoid use of potentially toxic heparin inhibitors. Preferably the terpolymer is formed from 2-methacryloyloxyethyl-2-(trimethylamonium)phosphate inner salt, choline methacrylate and n-dodecyl methacrylate.

Abstract: Disclosed is an infusion pump (400, 600) for expelling a fluid from a collapsible fluid reservoir (406, 640) to a patient. The pump (400, 600) includes a housing (401, 601) having a chamber (446, 646) therein for receiving the fluid reservoir (406, 640). A first wall (404, 604) is provided on the housing for contacting the fluid reservoir (406, 640), and a second wall (410, 630) is movable from a first position distanced from the first wall to form the chamber therebetween, and a second position relatively closer to the first wall. Advancing the movable wall (410, 630) from the first position to the second position expels fluid from the collapsible reservoir (406, 640) at a substantially constant rate by applying increasing force on the fluid reservoir (406, 640) through the dispensation cycle. Preferably, the first and second walls (406, 410, 604, 630) are provided with non-planar complementary surface (408, 413, 415, 417) for contacting the collapsible reservoir (406, 630).

Abstract: Prelaminate pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) constructions comprise, a first substrate, a coating or release material on a surface of the first substrate, a PSA layer disposed on the coating of release material, and a detackified layer (DL) disposed on a surface of the PSA layer to form a continuous film covering the PSA layer. In first and second embodiments of the construction the DL is activatable to form a tacky layer on top of the PSA layer for lamination with a second substrate. In a third embodiment, the DL includes constituents that when activated migrate into the PSA layer to expose the PSA layer tacky surface for lamination with a second substrate. The prelaminate PSA constructions are completely nonblocking to a minimum 24 hour blocking temperature of about 50° C. at pressure of about 40 kilopascals, thereby allowing such prelaminate PSA construction to be collected, stored, and or transported before being laminated without adhesive interference occurring between continuous layers. The DL in each embodiment is activatable in less than five seconds to provide a tacky layer having a sufficient open tack time to permit lamination at less than about 100° C.

The cap and fitment both include lugs (28, 36) which interengage when the cap is moved into a closing position to pressurize the seal determined by an improved overriding ratchet arrangement. During removal of the cap, the outer member moves against a spring action for a predetermined arc before the inner closure assembly is moved to disengage the seal. When the seal is disengaged, the spring action takes up the relative motion. Once removed, the cap is retained by an improved tether (74) assembly.
