APPLICATOR FOR OPHTHALMIC SOLUTIONS IN SINGLE-DOSE CONTAINERS AND A KIT CONTAINING SAME
An applicator for ophthalmic solutions in single-dose containers includes a structure, an oval rim, a container attachment portion, a hollow and flat support base, and additional features. The structure with open spaces is for inserting, removing, and pressing the single-dose container and allowing the label and the contents of the container to be viewed. The oval rim has a concave upper lip and a concave lower lip to facilitate the positioning of the applicator at an angle between 30 and 60° with respect to a horizontal plane. The features of the applicator enable the device to be used easily, ergonomically, comfortably, and ensure a safe use of the single-dose container in applications after the first use.
System, Method, and Apparatus for Controlling Environment Surrounding Eye
An apparatus comprises a support structure. The apparatus also comprises a plurality of sensors positioned on the support structure. The apparatus also comprises a camera positioned on the support structure. The camera has a field of view that includes an eye of a user. The apparatus also includes one or more processors and memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processors to detect ambient condition data using the plurality of sensors. The processors also capture imaging data that includes the eye using the camera. The processors determine a first predefined state of the eye based on the detected ambient condition data and the captured imaging data. The processors further dispense a fluid proximate to the eye in accordance with the first predefined state of the eye.
Hydrodynamically Actuated Preservative Free Dispensing System
Multi-dose preservative-free ocular fluid delivery devices are provided. The fluid delivery device includes a fluid dispensing system and a fluid package for storing a liquid therein and supplying said liquid to the dispensing system. The dispensing system comprises an elongated chamber which includes a check valve which defines a frontal closure to the chamber. The valve is normally closed and hermetically seals the chamber. The dispenser includes a vibration motor that induces oscillations to the chamber and to the fluid within. The oscillations of the chamber impart momentum to the fluid stored in the chamber which in turn imparts force that cyclically opens the valve to dispense streams or liquid droplets. Fluid is dispensed only when the motor oscillates while otherwise the valve is hermetically closed. Preferably, the fluid package and check valve are included in a disposable reservoir assembly.
Apparatus for the moisture, medicated, and thermal treatment of physical conditions
An assembly for the thermal treatment and moisture treatment of physical conditions, the assembly including, a first thermal pack having a body, the body having a first face and a second face, the first face having a first protrusion. The assembly further includes a sleeve operatively arranged to receive the first thermal pack, the sleeve having a first surface. The assembly also includes a medicament pad arranged to be removably secured to the first surface of the sleeve.
Device For Assisting With The Use Of A Device For Dispensing A Liquid Product
The invention relates to a device for dispensing a solution, having a body, the outer surface of which is intended to be held in at least one of a user's hands, and having at least one activation zone that is able to be acted upon by the user to cause the solution to be dispensed, and a head carried by the body, the head being provided with a contact surface for pressing on an area of a patient's body, the contact surface forming an outer contour, and with at least one orifice for dispensing the solution, the head being coupled to the body by connecting means that allow it to rotate with respect to the body about an axis of rotation substantially parallel to an axis of the body in order to modify the position of the contact surface with respect to the at least one activation zone.
Systems and Methods for Generating and Applying Biomimicry Tear Films
An apparatus for treating dry eye, comprising composition chambers respectively containing a first composition and a second composition, wherein the first composition includes 95%-100% of aqueous substances and the second composition includes 95-100% volume of non-aqueous substances; and an air pump that is fluidically connected to the composition chambers and sequentially generates and propels the mists of the first composition and the second composition to a surface that corresponds to a cornea of an eye. The first mist, including droplets of the one or more aqueous substances forms a first film layer that corresponds to an aqueous layer of an artificial tear film, the second mist has a volume within a range of 0.1-3 microliters, and includes droplets of the one or more non-aqueous substances forms a second film layer that corresponds to a lipid layer of the artificial tear film with a thickness within a range of 10 nm-200 nm.
FLUID DELIVERY ALIGNMENT SYSTEM
Aspects of the invention include a device for fluid delivery to the ocular surface having a self-alignment system. The fluid delivery device includes a fluid package having a reservoir and one or more apertures, an actuator component configured to eject fluid from the reservoir through the one or more apertures and an image-based self-alignment system configured to align fluid ejected through the one or more apertures with a target location on the eye of a user. Also provided are methods of using the devices in fluid delivery applications, as well as a kit that includes components of the devices.
Ocular implant delivery device and method
An ocular implant system including an ocular implant sized and shaped to be inserted at least partially into an eye; a carrier member with a shell having a central channel extending at least partially through the shell from a proximal end towards a distal end of the shell. A guide sleeve removably attached within at least a first region of the central channel of the shell and defining a proximal port into the central channel that is accessible from the proximal end of the shell. An implant holder removably attached within at least a second region of the central channel of the shell adjacent to a distal end of the guide sleeve and having a pair of graspers adapted to releasably secure the implant at a distal end of the implant holder. Related devices, systems, and/or methods are described.
Apparatus for subretinal administration of therapeutic agent via a curved needle
An apparatus includes a body, a cannula, and a needle. The cannula is flexible and extends distally from the body. The needle is slidably disposed in the cannula. The needle includes a sharp distal tip and a curved portion. The needle is configured to translate relative to the cannula between a proximal position and a distal position. The distal tip is configured to be positioned inside the cannula when the needle is in the proximal position. The distal tip is configured to be positioned outside the cannula when the needle is in the distal position. The needle is resiliently biased to extend along a curve through the curved portion.
Liquid Dropper Device
The device relate to liquid dropper that will enable an individual to precisely instill a liquid medium onto a surface in many orientations. The device will preferably hold a specified volume droplet on the end and present it to be taken up to desired application by adhesion forces. Employed in the device is a non-mechanical valve to keep contents from refluxing back into the parent medium. This may be device may be employed in many different applications but will be adapted to an eye dropper below. The function of this device is to form a droplet on the end of said dispensing device while using a non-mechanical valve to separate the desired droplet from parent medium. Hydrophobic forces along with vent valves are utilized to accomplish “droplet splitting off” preserving the parent medium. Further disclosed are alternate tips of eye drop bottles or attachments to bottles that can be utilized with or without vented delivery tubes.
