DEFINITION

Classification: 604/273

Specific structure for preventing or minimizing inconvenience caused by breakage during insertion of conduit into body:

(under subclass 272) Subject matter wherein significance is attributed to the structure of the conduit, or a component associated with the conduit, prevents breakage of the conduit or reduces the inconvenience resulting from such breakage.

(1) Note. A patent is classified as an original in this subclass only if it includes as part of its claimed subject matter a recitation of structural details of a body piercing conduit, or details relating to a component associated with the conduit, which prevent breakage of the conduit or minimize inconvenience resulting from such breakage.
