SEPTUM ACTUATOR WITH INSERTION DEPTH LIMITER AND COMPRESSION COMPENSATOR

摘要

A multi-use intravenous infusion assembly is presented which includes a septum actuator having various features to prevent over-insertion of the septum actuator through a slit in a blood control septum. By preventing over-insertion of the septum actuator, the slit of the septum is able to repeatedly self-close following removal of an external Luer device. Thus, the intravenous infusion assembly may be used repeatedly without exposing a clinician to blood and other infusion fluids.

1. A septum actuator device comprising:
a body having a tip, a base, and a lumen extending therebetween; and a compression compensator forming a portion of the body and positioned between the tip and the base such that when the compression compensator is compressed the body has a shorter length than when the compression compensator is uncompressed.
