Closed-System Infusion Adapter with Simplified Connection Mechanism

Abstract

An infusion adapter for connection with an infusion fluid container is provided. The infusion adapter includes a connection spike positioned at a first end of the infusion adapter, a connection stick positioned at a second end of the infusion adapter and arranged orthogonal to the connection spike, and a joining member connecting the connection spike to the connection stick. The connection spike has a main spike portion and a puncturing point configured to engage an injection port of an infusion fluid container. The connection stick includes a locking mechanism configured to connect to an external component via a push-type engagement, with the locking mechanism including a biasing member and an engagement member. A fluid path extends through the joining member, the connection spike, and the connection stick, to provide for a transfer of fluid from the second end to the first end.
