Definitions
- the present invention provides an infusion hub assembly, comprising: a wing having a hole passing therethrough; a hub received in the hole in the wing, the hub having a bore passing therethrough, with an upper portion of the circular hub having an attachment surface thereon; an infusion cannula extending downwardly away from the wing, the infusion cannula being in fluid communication with the bore passing through the hub; a cover having a bore passing therethrough with an inner attachment surface adapted to mate with the attachment surface on the upper portion of the hub; and a septum positioned in alignment with the bore passing through the cover.
- the upper portion of the hub is circular and has an attachment surface extending circumferentially therearound.
- this attachment surface comprises a lip extending circumferentially therearound.
- the present infusion hub assembly comprises a cover having a bore through which an insertion needle is positioned when initially positioning the wing of the assembly on a patient's skin with the infusion cannula extending subcutaneously.
- the cover holds a septum therein to advantageously seal the pathway into the patient (when the insertion needle is not piercing therethrough).
- the cover is dimensioned to be snap-fit over the infusion hub.
- the cover has a central bore through which the insertion needle passes when the assembly is positioned subcutaneously.
- the novel rotatable infusion housing is attached onto the top of the cover.
- the rotatable housing has an attachment surface adapted to mate with an outer attachment surface on the upper portion of the cover.
- the rotatable housing is also dimensioned to be snap-fit over the cover, which is in turn snap-fit over the infusion hub.
- the attachment surface on both the cover and the rotatable housing comprises a recess extending circumferentially therearound. These recesses mate with lips extending from an upper portion of the infusion hub and the cover, respectively.
- the infusion hub and the rotatable housing are circular such that the rotatable housing can turn freely, while still providing continuous infusion of medication (or other desired fluid substances) subcutaneously into the patient.
- the rotatable housing comprises a curved needle passing at least partially through a radial bore in the rotatable housing, wherein a first end of the curved needle is positioned to extend downwardly into the bores in the cover and the hub when the rotatable housing is attached to the cover. Additionally, an infusion tube is received into the radial bore of the rotatable housing in fluid communication with the curved needle.
- Advantages of having a rotatable infusion housing which can turn freely, while still providing continuous infusion subcutaneously into the patient include: (i) avoiding kinks in the infusion tube, and (ii) avoiding having to tape the infusion housing to the patient, thus (iii) permitting the patient to position an infusion pump (which feeds fluid into the infusion tube) at different locations one the patient's body.
- the present invention provides an infusion connector set comprising: a proximal connector; a septum received in the proximal connector; a distal connector; a septum received in the distal connector; and a flanged needle which penetrates both the septums in the proximal and distal connectors when the proximal and distal connectors are connected together.
- proximal and distal connector are only exemplary.
- the flanged needle may instead move to various positions within the distal connector rather than within the proximal connector.
- the present invention refers to a “first” and a “second” connector.
- the “first” connector is the “proximal” connector and the “second” connector is the “distal” connector.
- the connectors are reversed such that the “first” connector is the “distal” connector and the “second” connector is the “proximal” connector.
- the flanged needle is slidably movable within a slot in the distal connector.
- the flanged needle may be moved to a position at which the needle does not penetrate the proximal septum in the proximal connector, yet is still held within the proximal connector.
- the needle when the proximal and distal connectors are fastened together, the needle provides a fluid path therethrough.
- the distal connectors When the distal connectors is uncoupled from the proximal connector, the septum in the distal connector will seal (since the flanged needle is held within the proximal connector, and thus is no longer in contact with the septum in the distal connector).
- the flange of the flanged needle protrudes through the slot in the distal connector such that an operator may grab onto the flange and move the flanged needle along in the slot in the distal connector.
- the flanged needle may conveniently be moved to a position in which the needle no longer penetrates the septum in the proximal connector.
- the septum in the proximal connector will seal itself, preventing contamination or exposure to the substance being delivered through the infusion tubing.
- An advantage of having the proximal and distal connector easily disconnectable from one another (with their respective septums sealing the fluid path through both connectors) is that it facilitates switching between different infusion lines.
- a further advantage of providing the distal connector with its own septum is that a patient can manually disconnect the proximal and distal connectors and then inject a syringe (containing an alternate medication or substance) through the septum in the distal connector, and into the patient.
- a syringe containing an alternate medication or substance
- the infusion connector set further comprises a retainer mounted at the distal end of the proximal connector.
- this retainer closes the distal end of the slot in the proximal connector, such that movement of the flanged needle is retained to back and forth movement within the proximal connector.
- the proximal and distal connectors are dimensioned such that one connector may be inserted into the other, and then rotated into an interlocked position. This may be achieved by providing one of the connectors with at least one tab extending therefrom, and the other of the connectors with at least one recess therein. The at least one recess is dimensioned to receive the at least one tab therein when the proximal and distal connectors are connected together.
- the connector comprising the at least one tab is the proximal connector
- the connector comprising the at least one slot is the distal connector.

- FIGS. 1 to 6 illustrate an infusion hub assembly according to the present invention.
- FIGS. 7 to 15 illustrate an infusion connector set according to the present invention.
- an infusion hub assembly 10 is provided.
- a large wing or patch 12 having a hole 13 passing therethrough is provided.
- Wing 12 is positioned on the surface of a patient's skin.
- the underside of wing 12 has an adhesive surface, securing it to a patient's skin.
- the wing 12 is instead taped directly onto the patient's skin.
- assembly 10 comprises wing 12 , hub 14 and cover 18 .
- hub 14 is received into a circular shaped hole 13 in wing 12 .
- hole 13 is stepped in diameter
- circular hub 14 also has a stepped diameter such that hub 14 fits into hole 13 , as shown.
- Circular hub 14 has a central bore passing vertically therethrough.
- a needle guide 16 is positioned within this bore through circular hub 14 as also shown. Needle guide 16 may be funnel-shaped, and may be made of metal.
- an upper portion of circular hub 14 has an attachment surface onto which cover 18 can be snap fit.
- circular hub 14 has a lip 15 extending at least partially circumferentially therearound.
- cover 18 has an interior groove 19 extending at least partially circumferentially therearound.
- cover 18 is made of a flexible material such that it can be easily snap-fit over the upper portion of circular hub 14 .
- septum 20 is also provided. Septum 20 may be held by cover 18 (such that when cover 18 is removed from hub 14 , septum 20 is also removed). As can also be seen, septum 20 may be positioned such that it is received within needle guide 16 when cover 18 is positioned over infusion housing 14 . Septum 20 may be made from a plug of self-sealing elastomeric material.
- a infusion cannula 22 extends downwardly from wing 12 .
- infusion cannula 22 is positioned subcutaneously when wing 12 rests on the patient's skin. Infusion cannula 22 is thus used for subcutaneously infusing medication into the patient.
- the proximal end of infusion cannula 22 may be positioned to be received within the lower portion of circular hub 14 , and may also be received around an end of needle guide 16 , as shown, however, the present invention is not so limited. Many other systems for attaching infusion cannula 16 such that it extends downwardly from wing 12 are also contemplated within the scope of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 a various system for positioning assembly 10 such that infusion cannula 22 is positioned subcutaneously is also provided.
- an insertion needle 30 (which is supported by a handle 32 ) is inserted through the central bores of protective cover 18 and circular hub 14 .
- needle 30 passes through septum 20 , and extends downwardly, passing out the bottom distal end of infusion cannula 22 .
- the operator simply applies pressure downwardly onto handle 32 such that wing 12 is pushed down into contact with the patient's skin and infusion cannula 22 is subcutaneously inserted.
- needle 30 is removed, it is replaced by rotatable infusion housing 40 , as follows.
- Rotatable housing 40 is then attached over cover 18 .
- Rotatable housing 40 may be made of a flexible material such that it can be snap-fit over cover 18 (similar to how cover 18 fits over hub 14 ).
- rotatable housing 40 may also have an inner attachment surface such as an interior grooves 41 which extend at least partially circumferentially therearound.
- housing 40 is therefore rotatable with respect to circular housing 14 .
- housing 40 may freely be rotated in direction R.
- an infusion tube 50 may be used to deliver medication (or any other desired substance) subcutaneously to the patient.
- Tube 50 may be received into a radially extending bore 42 in housing 40 .
- a curved needle 44 may be attached to the end of tube 50 , and is positioned such that its downwardly facing distal end is received directly into needle guide 16 in the bore of circular housing 14 . Since the distal end of curved needle 44 points downwardly from the center of rotatable housing 40 , and is positioned in the central bores passing through cover 18 and circular housing 14 , housing 40 is free to rotate in direction R about its central axis while medication or any other desired substance is infused through tube 50 .
- FIG. 6 shows an exploded view of the present system in which either: (i) the introducing needle 30 or, (ii) the rotatable housing 40 and infusion tube 50 are attached to cover 18 and pass through septum 20 , into circular housing 14 .
- an optional removable protective cylinder 23 can be received over infusion cannula 22 , to protect the cannula and keep the cannula free of contamination prior to its use.
- connector assembly 100 comprises a proximal connector 110 and a distal connector 120 . It is to be understood that connector 110 could instead be the distal connector and connector 120 could instead be the proximal connector, according to the user's preferences.) As illustrated herein, assembly 100 is used to provide a detachable coupling link mid-way along infusion tube 50 . It is to be understood, however, that while connector assembly 100 (FIGS. 7 to 15 ) may be used in conjunction with the infusion hub assembly 10 (FIGS. 1 to 6 ), it need not be. Rather, each of connector assembly 100 and infusion hub assembly 10 may be used separately. Thus, the tube numbered “ 50 ” in FIGS. 1 to 6 may, or may not, be the same or different from the tubes numbered “ 50 ” in FIGS. 7 to 15 .
- FIG. 7 shows proximal connector 120 and distal connector 110 coupled together.
- FIG. 8 shows proximal connector 120 and distal connector 110 uncoupled from one another.
- the present connector set provides a system in which, when the proximal and distal connectors are fastened together, fluid flows freely through the assembly.
- the present invention provides a novel self-sealing system which prevents contamination from entering the flow path through either of the proximal or distal connectors.
- a self-sealing septum is positioned in each of the proximal and distal connectors.
- the proximal connector supports a flanged needle assembly which can be moved such that a septum in the proximal needle self-seals as desired.
- proximal connector 110 has a septum housing 111 received therein.
- a self-sealing septum 112 is held in position by septum housing 111 .
- a flanged needle assembly comprising a flange 114 and a needle 113 is then received therein.
- flange 114 can be moved up and down in slots 115 in proximal connector 110 (thereby moving needle 113 to different positions).
- a retainer 116 is then received over flanged needle assembly 113 / 114 .
- Retainer 116 prevents flange 114 from escaping from slot 115 .
- needle 113 remains supported within proximal connector 110 at all times.
- distal connector 120 has a septum housing 121 received therein.
- a self-sealing septum 122 is held in position by septum housing 121 .
- needle 113 When assembled together, as shown in FIG. 7 (and as illustrated schematically in FIGS. 12 and 13), needle 113 penetrates both of septums 111 and 121 , permitting flow through tubes 50 .
- distal septum 121 will self-seal, such that the subcutaneous pathway into the patient (i.e.: the path through distal connector 120 , tube 50 and rotatable housing 40 into the patient) will be sealed.
- a separate syringe injection needle may be inserted through distal septum 121 in distal connector 120 such that different or additional medication (or other substances) can be subcutaneously introduced into the patient.
- a novel system of sealing proximal septum 111 in proximal connector 110 is also provided. Referring to FIG. 9 (and to schematic FIGS. 14 and 15), flange 114 is moved distally along slot 115 such that it carries needle 113 to a position at which it no longer penetrates proximal septum 111 .
- flange 114 protrudes slightly through slots 115 on opposite sides of proximal connector 110 , to permit an operator to grasp onto flange 114 and slide it into a position against retainer 116 (such that needle 113 no longer pierces septum 111 ).

Abstract
Description
- The present application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. utility patent application Ser. No. 10/091,123, filed Mar. 4, 2002 and U.S. provisional patent application Nos. 60/273,490, filed Mar. 4, 2001; and 60/299,842, filed Jun. 19, 2001.
- In various embodiments, the present invention provides an infusion hub assembly, comprising: a wing having a hole passing therethrough; a hub received in the hole in the wing, the hub having a bore passing therethrough, with an upper portion of the circular hub having an attachment surface thereon; an infusion cannula extending downwardly away from the wing, the infusion cannula being in fluid communication with the bore passing through the hub; a cover having a bore passing therethrough with an inner attachment surface adapted to mate with the attachment surface on the upper portion of the hub; and a septum positioned in alignment with the bore passing through the cover.
- In various embodiments, the upper portion of the hub is circular and has an attachment surface extending circumferentially therearound. In various embodiments, this attachment surface comprises a lip extending circumferentially therearound.
- The present infusion hub assembly comprises a cover having a bore through which an insertion needle is positioned when initially positioning the wing of the assembly on a patient's skin with the infusion cannula extending subcutaneously. In various embodiments, the cover holds a septum therein to advantageously seal the pathway into the patient (when the insertion needle is not piercing therethrough).
- In various embodiments, the cover is dimensioned to be snap-fit over the infusion hub. In various embodiments, the cover has a central bore through which the insertion needle passes when the assembly is positioned subcutaneously.
- Thereafter, the novel rotatable infusion housing is attached onto the top of the cover. In various embodiments, the rotatable housing has an attachment surface adapted to mate with an outer attachment surface on the upper portion of the cover. Thus, in various embodiments, the rotatable housing is also dimensioned to be snap-fit over the cover, which is in turn snap-fit over the infusion hub.
- In various aspects, the attachment surface on both the cover and the rotatable housing comprises a recess extending circumferentially therearound. These recesses mate with lips extending from an upper portion of the infusion hub and the cover, respectively. In various aspects, the infusion hub and the rotatable housing are circular such that the rotatable housing can turn freely, while still providing continuous infusion of medication (or other desired fluid substances) subcutaneously into the patient.
- In various embodiments, the rotatable housing comprises a curved needle passing at least partially through a radial bore in the rotatable housing, wherein a first end of the curved needle is positioned to extend downwardly into the bores in the cover and the hub when the rotatable housing is attached to the cover. Additionally, an infusion tube is received into the radial bore of the rotatable housing in fluid communication with the curved needle.
- Advantages of having a rotatable infusion housing which can turn freely, while still providing continuous infusion subcutaneously into the patient include: (i) avoiding kinks in the infusion tube, and (ii) avoiding having to tape the infusion housing to the patient, thus (iii) permitting the patient to position an infusion pump (which feeds fluid into the infusion tube) at different locations one the patient's body.
- In another aspect of the invention, the present invention provides an infusion connector set comprising: a proximal connector; a septum received in the proximal connector; a distal connector; a septum received in the distal connector; and a flanged needle which penetrates both the septums in the proximal and distal connectors when the proximal and distal connectors are connected together.
- It is to be understood, however, that reference made herein to a “proximal” and “distal” connector is only exemplary. Thus, the flanged needle may instead move to various positions within the distal connector rather than within the proximal connector. Accordingly, the present invention refers to a “first” and a “second” connector. In various embodiments, the “first” connector is the “proximal” connector and the “second” connector is the “distal” connector. In alternate embodiments, the connectors are reversed such that the “first” connector is the “distal” connector and the “second” connector is the “proximal” connector.
- In various embodiments, the flanged needle is slidably movable within a slot in the distal connector. In various aspects, the flanged needle may be moved to a position at which the needle does not penetrate the proximal septum in the proximal connector, yet is still held within the proximal connector.
- Thus, when the proximal and distal connectors are fastened together, the needle provides a fluid path therethrough. When the distal connectors is uncoupled from the proximal connector, the septum in the distal connector will seal (since the flanged needle is held within the proximal connector, and thus is no longer in contact with the septum in the distal connector).
- In various embodiments, the flange of the flanged needle protrudes through the slot in the distal connector such that an operator may grab onto the flange and move the flanged needle along in the slot in the distal connector. Thus, the flanged needle may conveniently be moved to a position in which the needle no longer penetrates the septum in the proximal connector. Thus, the septum in the proximal connector will seal itself, preventing contamination or exposure to the substance being delivered through the infusion tubing.
- An advantage of having the proximal and distal connector easily disconnectable from one another (with their respective septums sealing the fluid path through both connectors) is that it facilitates switching between different infusion lines.
- A further advantage of providing the distal connector with its own septum is that a patient can manually disconnect the proximal and distal connectors and then inject a syringe (containing an alternate medication or substance) through the septum in the distal connector, and into the patient.
- In various embodiments, the infusion connector set further comprises a retainer mounted at the distal end of the proximal connector. In various embodiments, this retainer closes the distal end of the slot in the proximal connector, such that movement of the flanged needle is retained to back and forth movement within the proximal connector.
- In various embodiments, the proximal and distal connectors are dimensioned such that one connector may be inserted into the other, and then rotated into an interlocked position. This may be achieved by providing one of the connectors with at least one tab extending therefrom, and the other of the connectors with at least one recess therein. The at least one recess is dimensioned to receive the at least one tab therein when the proximal and distal connectors are connected together. In various embodiments, the connector comprising the at least one tab is the proximal connector, and the connector comprising the at least one slot is the distal connector.
- Still other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a reading of the following detailed description of embodiments constructed in accordance therewith, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

- FIG. 15 is a side elevation view corresponding to FIG. 14.
- FIGS.1 to 6 illustrate an infusion hub assembly according to the present invention. FIGS. 7 to 15 illustrate an infusion connector set according to the present invention.
- Referring first to FIGS.1 to 6, an
infusion hub assembly 10 is provided. A large wing orpatch 12 having ahole 13 passing therethrough is provided.Wing 12 is positioned on the surface of a patient's skin. In various embodiments, the underside ofwing 12 has an adhesive surface, securing it to a patient's skin. In alternate embodiments, thewing 12 is instead taped directly onto the patient's skin. - As shown in FIG. 1,
assembly 10 compriseswing 12,hub 14 andcover 18. In various aspects, all, or at least the upper portion ofhub 14 is circular.Hub 14 is received into a circular shapedhole 13 inwing 12. In various embodiments,hole 13 is stepped in diameter, andcircular hub 14 also has a stepped diameter such thathub 14 fits intohole 13, as shown.Circular hub 14 has a central bore passing vertically therethrough. Aneedle guide 16 is positioned within this bore throughcircular hub 14 as also shown.Needle guide 16 may be funnel-shaped, and may be made of metal. - In various aspects, an upper portion of
circular hub 14 has an attachment surface onto which cover 18 can be snap fit. For example, various aspects,circular hub 14 has alip 15 extending at least partially circumferentially therearound. In various embodiments, cover 18 has aninterior groove 19 extending at least partially circumferentially therearound. In various embodiments, as well, cover 18 is made of a flexible material such that it can be easily snap-fit over the upper portion ofcircular hub 14. - As can also be seen, a
septum 20 is also provided.Septum 20 may be held by cover 18 (such that whencover 18 is removed fromhub 14,septum 20 is also removed). As can also be seen,septum 20 may be positioned such that it is received withinneedle guide 16 whencover 18 is positioned overinfusion housing 14.Septum 20 may be made from a plug of self-sealing elastomeric material. - A
infusion cannula 22 extends downwardly fromwing 12. Thus,infusion cannula 22 is positioned subcutaneously whenwing 12 rests on the patient's skin.Infusion cannula 22 is thus used for subcutaneously infusing medication into the patient. In various embodiments, the proximal end ofinfusion cannula 22 may be positioned to be received within the lower portion ofcircular hub 14, and may also be received around an end ofneedle guide 16, as shown, however, the present invention is not so limited. Many other systems for attachinginfusion cannula 16 such that it extends downwardly fromwing 12 are also contemplated within the scope of the present invention. - Referring next to FIG. 2, a various system for positioning
assembly 10 such thatinfusion cannula 22 is positioned subcutaneously is also provided. Specifically, aninsertion needle 30, (which is supported by a handle 32) is inserted through the central bores ofprotective cover 18 andcircular hub 14. Thus, needle 30 passes throughseptum 20, and extends downwardly, passing out the bottom distal end ofinfusion cannula 22. Whenneedle 30 is inserted throughinfusion cannula 22, as shown in FIG. 2, the operator simply applies pressure downwardly ontohandle 32 such thatwing 12 is pushed down into contact with the patient's skin andinfusion cannula 22 is subcutaneously inserted. - After
assembly 10 has been positioned with itswing 12 resting against the patient's skin, and withinfusion cannula 22 positioned subcutaneously, (i.e.: as shown in FIG. 2), the operator then simply removesneedle 30 by pulling upwardly onhandle 32. Whenneedle 30 is initially removed,septum 20 will self-seal, ensuring no contamination enters from the atmosphere throughcannula 22 and thus into the subcutaneous pathway under the patient's skin. - After
needle 30 is removed, it is replaced byrotatable infusion housing 40, as follows. - As shown in FIG. 3,
rotatable housing 40 is then attached overcover 18.Rotatable housing 40 may be made of a flexible material such that it can be snap-fit over cover 18 (similar to how cover 18 fits over hub 14). Specifically,rotatable housing 40 may also have an inner attachment surface such as aninterior grooves 41 which extend at least partially circumferentially therearound. - An advantage of
interior grooves 41 extending at least partially circumferentially aroundlip 17 ofcover 18 is thathousing 40 is therefore rotatable with respect tocircular housing 14. Thus, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5,housing 40 may freely be rotated in direction R. - Referring back to FIG. 3, an
infusion tube 50 may be used to deliver medication (or any other desired substance) subcutaneously to the patient.Tube 50 may be received into aradially extending bore 42 inhousing 40. Acurved needle 44 may be attached to the end oftube 50, and is positioned such that its downwardly facing distal end is received directly intoneedle guide 16 in the bore ofcircular housing 14. Since the distal end ofcurved needle 44 points downwardly from the center ofrotatable housing 40, and is positioned in the central bores passing throughcover 18 andcircular housing 14,housing 40 is free to rotate in direction R about its central axis while medication or any other desired substance is infused throughtube 50. - FIG. 6 shows an exploded view of the present system in which either: (i) the introducing
needle 30 or, (ii) therotatable housing 40 andinfusion tube 50 are attached to cover 18 and pass throughseptum 20, intocircular housing 14. As can also be seen, in various embodiments, an optional removableprotective cylinder 23 can be received overinfusion cannula 22, to protect the cannula and keep the cannula free of contamination prior to its use. - Turning now to FIGS.7 to 15, an infusion connector set is also provided. In various aspects,
connector assembly 100 comprises aproximal connector 110 and adistal connector 120. It is to be understood thatconnector 110 could instead be the distal connector andconnector 120 could instead be the proximal connector, according to the user's preferences.) As illustrated herein,assembly 100 is used to provide a detachable coupling link mid-way alonginfusion tube 50. It is to be understood, however, that while connector assembly 100 (FIGS. 7 to 15) may be used in conjunction with the infusion hub assembly 10 (FIGS. 1 to 6), it need not be. Rather, each ofconnector assembly 100 andinfusion hub assembly 10 may be used separately. Thus, the tube numbered “50” in FIGS. 1 to 6 may, or may not, be the same or different from the tubes numbered “50” in FIGS. 7 to 15. - FIG. 7 shows
proximal connector 120 anddistal connector 110 coupled together. FIG. 8 showsproximal connector 120 anddistal connector 110 uncoupled from one another. As will be explained, the present connector set provides a system in which, when the proximal and distal connectors are fastened together, fluid flows freely through the assembly. When the proximal and distal connectors are no longer fastened or coupled together, the present invention provides a novel self-sealing system which prevents contamination from entering the flow path through either of the proximal or distal connectors. Specifically, as will be explained, a self-sealing septum is positioned in each of the proximal and distal connectors. Also, the proximal connector supports a flanged needle assembly which can be moved such that a septum in the proximal needle self-seals as desired. - Referring to FIG. 10,
proximal connector 110 has aseptum housing 111 received therein. A self-sealingseptum 112 is held in position byseptum housing 111. A flanged needle assembly comprising aflange 114 and aneedle 113 is then received therein. As will be explained,flange 114 can be moved up and down inslots 115 in proximal connector 110 (thereby movingneedle 113 to different positions). Aretainer 116 is then received overflanged needle assembly 113/114.Retainer 116 preventsflange 114 from escaping fromslot 115. Thus,needle 113 remains supported withinproximal connector 110 at all times. - Referring to FIG. 11,
distal connector 120 has aseptum housing 121 received therein. A self-sealingseptum 122 is held in position byseptum housing 121. - When assembled together, as shown in FIG. 7 (and as illustrated schematically in FIGS. 12 and 13),
needle 113 penetrates both ofseptums tubes 50. - When the connectors are disconnected from one another, (i.e.: when
distal connector 120 is detached from proximal connector 110) needle 113 (which is held within proximal connector 110) will no longer penetratedistal septum 121 indistal connector 120. Thus,distal septum 121 will self-seal, such that the subcutaneous pathway into the patient (i.e.: the path throughdistal connector 120,tube 50 androtatable housing 40 into the patient) will be sealed. However, should a user so desire, a separate syringe injection needle may be inserted throughdistal septum 121 indistal connector 120 such that different or additional medication (or other substances) can be subcutaneously introduced into the patient. - In accordance with the present invention, a novel system of sealing
proximal septum 111 inproximal connector 110 is also provided. Referring to FIG. 9 (and to schematic FIGS. 14 and 15),flange 114 is moved distally alongslot 115 such that it carriesneedle 113 to a position at which it no longer penetratesproximal septum 111. - In various embodiments,
flange 114 protrudes slightly throughslots 115 on opposite sides ofproximal connector 110, to permit an operator to grasp ontoflange 114 and slide it into a position against retainer 116 (such thatneedle 113 no longer pierces septum 111).
