MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202613107993 A) filed by Lars Medicare Private Limited on September 08, 2026, for “catheter Assembly With Integrated Fluid Control And Needle Tip Protection”.
Inventor includes Surmya Goel.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: An embodiment herein provides a catheter assembly (100) for controlling fluid leakage and providing needle tip protection. The catheter assembly (100) comprises a catheter adapter (102) defining a lumen (110), a catheter (112), a fluid control valve (120) positioned within the lumen (110), and an actuator (124) positioned proximal to the fluid control valve (120). The actuator (124) is axially movable to actuate the fluid control valve (120) by axial compression and comprises a pair of spaced rearwardly extending legs (208, 210) defining an intermediate hollow region (212) therebetween. A tip protector assembly (800) mounted on a needle (122) is configured to be received at least partially within the intermediate hollow region (212) while retained in a stored configuration, thereby permitting independent operation of the actuator (124) and the tip protector assembly (800). The rearwardly extending legs (208, 210) are configured to be directly engaged by a mating connector (214) having a predefined taper profile for translating the actuator (124) to open the fluid control valve (120). The disclosed structural arrangement enables integration of fluid leakage control and needle tip protection within a common catheter assembly.
