Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The filter assembly has a filter medium provided with end caps that form water-wettable junctions with the filter medium. The filter element is encapsulated in a housing which is formed from a plastics material capable of withstanding steam sterilization. This allows the filter element to be steam sterilized in situ and avoids the need for steam autoclaving and aseptic transfer.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 6, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 6, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 6, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
