The coupling element (114) is arranged for engagement with an engagement part (220) of the dosing device or adaptor to clip the cartridge (100) to the dosing device or adaptor (200) upon insertion of the cartridge to the dosing device or adaptor, and the seal arrangement (126, 129) is disposed distally with respect to the sealing element (128) and is arranged to form a seal around the release member (214; 254) when the cartridge is coupled to the dosing device or adaptor.

An injector (100) may include a container (102) having a wall (110) with an interior surface (112) and a seal assembly (140) with an interior surface (142), the interior surfaces (110) of the wall (110) and the seal assembly (140) defining a closed sterile reservoir (150) filled with a drug product. The injector (100) may also include a fluid delivery system comprising a clean, unsheathed, rigid container needle (180) having a point (182) disposed only partially through the seal assembly (140) in a storage state, and disposed through the interior surface (142) of the seal assembly (140) into the sterile reservoir (150) in a delivery state. Further, the injection may include an actuator (106) that is adapted to move the container needle from the storage state to the delivery state.

The present disclosure relates to a syringe for mixing two substances which have been retained separately inside the syringe, for instance in a storage condition. In particular the present disclosure relates to a syringe for 1) retaining a dry composition in a vacuum, and 2) mixing the dry composition with an aqueous medium to form a flowable substance. One embodiment relates to a syringe for retaining and mixing first and second substances comprising: a barrel comprising a sealable and/or closable distal outlet and a vacuum chamber for holding a first substance, a plunger incorporating a reservoir chamber for holding a second substance and configured to be axially displaced through a proximal end of the barrel, a membrane separating the vacuum chamber and the reservoir chamber, and a pointed member, such as one or more needles, for penetrating the membrane.

Described herein does a sterile protective cover comprise an intracameral therapeutic agent delivery device in the form of a pen-injector comprising a cartridge container for dispensing multiple doses of a medicament, coupled to an actuation assembly within a housing. A needle assembly is coupled to the distal end of the cartridge container, provided with a removable cap received within the housing will be in optional pre-sterile or no-sterile condition. Use of such device for the prevention or treatment of ocular conditions or diseases is also disclosed. A sterile protective cover comprising ophthalmic device, wherein the sterile protective cover is made of plastic, polythene, polyethylene, resin, rubber, polystyrene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, nylon, or combination thereof. More, particularly the present invention relates to a novel ophthalmic device of reduced length and diameter in the form of a pen-injector for precise and controlled delivery of different doses of a therapeutic agent by introducing a unique Pen grip for the device. The present invention also depicts a novel ophthalmic device comprising a multimode power on-off button that would also work with a Pulse mode to deliver a fixed quantity of medicament and also double up as a speed control to control the rate of injection and might be used with dermal filler.

A drug delivery device is provided for delivering a drug to a target tissue site. The drug delivery device comprises a body comprising a proximal end and a distal end and a chamber disposed therebetween. An upper portion is disposed about the proximal end of the body. A retaining member is disposed within a wall of the body and engageable with the chamber and a plunger is configured for disposal within the upper portion and the chamber. The upper portion is movable about the proximal end of the body to open the chamber such that the plunger is disposed within a passageway defined within the chamber, and movement of the plunger in a distal direction pushes the retaining member such that the drug moves out of the body. Methods are also disclosed.

A rotary sensor assembly comprises an indicator member adapted to rotate and having first and second axial positions, input means adapted to be actuated by movement of the indicator member, and a processor adapted to receive input from the input means. The indicator member comprises a plurality of actuator structures, and the input means comprises one or more switches adapted to be actuated by an actuator structure. Zero or more switches is/are actuated when the indicator member is moved from the first to the second axial position, this corresponding to a first switch pattern, and zero or more switches is/are actuated when the indicator member is moved from the second to the second axial position, this corresponding to a second switch pattern. Based on input from one or more switches corresponding to the first and second switch patterns, the processor is adapted to determine rotational movement of the indicator member.

A drug delivery device comprising a drug container extending between a distal end and a proximal end and is capable of being compressed into a single plane; a body extending between proximal and distal ends comprising a hollow space for containing the drug container; and a plunger extending between proximal and distal ends, wherein the distal end of the plunger engages telescopically with the proximal end of the body, wherein the plunger comprises at least one pair of protrusions, wherein the protrusion is capable of compressing the drug container as the plunger moves towards the proximal end of the drug delivery device, by applying a force to the drug container that is perpendicular to the movement of the plunger.

The present invention relates to a drug delivery device for dispensing of a dose of a medicament, comprising a housing to accommodate a cartridge being at least partially filled with a medicament, wherein the housing comprises a dispensing end with an access opening which is closed by a tamper-evident closure.

A package comprising a container for holding a first substance, and a product insert for holding a second substance, at least partially inserted info said container, and where the first product and the second product can be allowed to merge by external manipulation of said package. Packaged products and methods are also provided.
