Infusion set
First Claim
1. A base and a cap for an infusion set, comprising:
- a base comprising;
upper and lower sides;
a base cannula extending downwardly from the lower side;
a port extending upwardly from the upper side, the port being in fluid communication with the base cannula, the port comprising a septum adapted to seal said port from fluid communication therethrough;
infusion cap comprising;
an upper side and a lower side, the cap being configured to removably attach to the base and the cap being configured to release from the base when pressure is applied to the cap in a first direction causing elongation of the infusion cap in a second direction, the second direction being generally orthogonal to the first direction.

Abstract
An infusion set comprises a base member (60), an introducer cap (64), and an infusion cap (54). The base member (60) preferably comprises a soft cannula (52) extending from a lower side (118) of the base member (60), and a port (62) on an upper side (92) thereof. The port (62) is configured to be in fluid communication with the cannula (52). The port (62) also comprises a septum (130) adapted to seal the port (62) against unwanted fluid flow. The introducer cap (64) is adapted to be mounted to the base member (60) and has a needle (66) adapted to extend through the septum (130) and said soft cannula (52) in an assembled position. The infusion cap (54) comprises a lumen (160) adapted to receive an elongate flexible tube (162). The infusion cap (54) also comprises a hard cannula (170) adapted to be inserted through the septum (130) and to place said soft cannula (52) in fluid communication with said lumen (160).

12. An infusion set, comprising:
-
a base comprising upper and lower sides and a rim, a base cannula extending downwardly from the lower side, a port extending upwardly from the upper side, the port being in fluid communication with the base cannula, the port comprising a septum adapted to inhibit fluid communication through the port; an infusion cap comprising an upper side and a lower side, the cap being configured to generally cover the upper side of the base and removably attach to the base, the cap being configured to release from the rim when pressure is applied to the cap in a first direction, causing a distance between two ends of the cap along a line in a second direction to increase, the second direction being generally orthogonal to the first direction, the first direction and second direction both being generally parallel to the lower surface of the base, the lower surface of the base being configured to contact a patient'"'"'s skin when the infusion set is inserted. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
