Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for 'A Device For Use In Intravenous Medicine' Filed by Thane Pty Ltd.

MUMBAI, India, Oct. 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202547092904 A) filed by Thane Pty Ltd., Kuraby, Australia, on Sept. 27, for 'a device for use in intravenous medicine.'

Inventor(s) include Thakkalpalli, Madhukar.

The application for the patent was published on Oct. 24, under issue no. 43/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A single-use device for use in administering a fluid substance to a patient via an intravenous catheter or cannula is disclosed. The device has a body with a hollow interior inside at least part of the body, and the device is manufactured with the fluid substance that is to be administered to the patient contained within the hollow interior of the body. The device also has a connecting portion for connecting the device to the intravenous catheter or cannula, and an opening in the connecting portion which leads into the hollow interior of the body, which opening is initially closed but which can be opened, or, a portion of the connecting portion in which an opening into the hollow interior of body can be formed. Once the opening is opened or formed, the fluid substance is able to exit the hollow interior of the body through the opening. There is also a deformable portion of the body which, after the opening into the hollow interior has been opened or formed, is able to be deformed, or its shape is able to change, upon application of force. The deformation of, or the change in shape of, the said deformable portion caused by the application of force reduces the volume of the hollow interior of the body such that the fluid substance is forced out of the hollow interior through the opening. The volume of the hollow interior can be reduced substantially to zero such that substantially all of the fluid substance that was originally contained within the hollow interior is expelled. Also, if the application of force which deforms the deformable portion, or causes the shape thereof to change, is stopped or paused, the state/extent of the deformation of, or the change in shape of, the deformable portion will remain as it was at that point and the deformable portion does not return or re-expand."

The patent application was internationally filed on Mar. 08, 2024, under International application No.PCT/AU2024/050204.
