Syringe for mixing two components and for retaining a vacuum in a storage condition
A syringe for mixing two substances which have been retained separately inside the syringe is described, for instance in a storage condition. The syringe is used 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, a syringe for retaining and mixing first and second substances comprises 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, wherein the syringe is configured such that the membrane and the pointed member are axially slidable in relation to each other.
SYSTEMS AND APPROACHES FOR STERILIZING A DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE
An on-body injector system includes a drug container assembly including a container, a seal member, and a sealing interface between the seal member and the container. The container includes an opening and the seal member at least partially covers the opening in the container. A fluid pathway assembly is coupled to the drug container assembly and includes a needle that is movable between a storage position, in which a point of the needle is spaced from the seal member, and a delivery position, in which the point of the needle is disposed at least partially through the seal member. A radiation generator is configured to emit rays of radiation to sterilize and/or disinfect the sealing interface. A barrier is disposed adjacent to the sealing interface and has an opening. At least a portion of the drug container assembly is positioned adjacent to the opening in the barrier.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SUBMUCOSAL TISSUE SEPARATION
The present disclosure relates to the field of medical devices generally and specifically, to endoscopic systems and methods for resection of malignant and pre-malignant lesions within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In particular, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for delivering injectable compositions between tissue layers (e.g., between the muscularis and submucosa layers) to elevate and stabilize the lesion for fast and efficient resection.
Automatic injection device with reusable portion
An autoinjector may include a disposable portion and a reusable portion. The disposable portion may include a syringe and a syringe coupling. The syringe coupling may be coupled to the syringe, and may comprise a guide track. The reusable portion may include a device housing, a device actuator configured to initiate an injection of the autoinjector, and a motor coupled to the device actuator. The reusable portion may additionally include a motor foot coupled to an output of the motor, wherein the motor foot may be configured to translate in an axial direction. The reusable portion may also include a drive coupling disposed within the device housing. The drive coupling may include an angled surface configured to receive the motor foot and a protrusion configured to engage with the guide track of the syringe coupling to lock the drive coupling to the syringe coupling.
TWO-COMPONENT-MIXING PREFILLED SYRINGE KIT
In a two-component-mixing prefilled syringe kit for preparing an injection solution by mixing a drug component in a syringe barrel and a liquid component in a container, when the injection needle pierced on the seal member of the container outlet is pulled out after preparation of the injection solution, a leak to the outside of the remaining liquid in the container is effectively prevented.
Comprise a syringe barrel in which an injection needle is attached on one end, a plunger is inserted slidably through the opening on the other end, and the solid or liquid component constituting the injection solution is filled, and a container in which an outlet is sealed by a seal member that can be pierced by the injection needle, and the liquid component constituting the injection solution is filled, and a holding member which holds the syringe barrel so that the syringe barrel is movable along the axial direction with the tip of the injection needle facing the outlet of the container, and a space-forming body which forms a space facing the surface of the seal member in a space sealed from the outside, and the space-forming body is formed of a material that can be pierced by the injection needle at the portion facing the tip of the injection needle along the barrel axis direction of the syringe barrel.
PREFILLED SYRINGE
The prefilled syringe according to the present disclosure includes: a liquid medicine; a barrel including a cylindrical barrel body section that contains the liquid medicine, and a nozzle section that is provided on a distal end side of the barrel body section and configured to discharge the liquid medicine, the barrel being provided with a proximal end opening on a proximal end section of the barrel body section; a cap configured to seal a distal end opening provided on a distal end section of the nozzle section; a gasket configured to slide on an inner circumferential surface of the barrel body section; a syringe plunger configured to be mounted to the gasket and has an insertion section that can be inserted into the barrel body section; and an RFID tag mounted on the insertion section and including an antenna for communication and a memory.

ASSEMBLY FOR AN INJECTION OR INFUSTION DEVICE
An assembly for an injection or infusion device includes i) a cartridge being closed by a septum and the surface of the septum being sterile and covered by a first continuous flexible strip, and ii) a fluid path unit comprising a cartridge holder and a fluid path compartment comprising a needle in an interior, the needle is configured to penetrate the septum of the cartridge through a passage in the fluid path compartment. The passage is closed by a second continuous flexible strip keeping the interior of the fluid path compartment in a sterile condition. The cartridge is inserted into the cartridge holder aligning the septum with the passage and sandwiching both strips between the septum and the fluid path compartment. Both strips may be simultaneously removable from the cartridge and fluid path compartment thereby, establishing a sterile connection between the septum and the interior of the fluid path compartment.
INJECTION OR INFUSION DEVICE COMPRISING AN IMPROVED RELEASE LINER
An injection device configured for attachment to the skin of a patient using an adhesive layer includes a release liner covering the adhesive layer thereby preventing skin attachment. The release liner comprises a sheet of material where a first surface contacts the adhesive layer, and an aperture defining a passage for a film connected to a first sterile barrier film located within the injection device. An end of the film is connected to a second surface of the sheet of material that is opposite to the first surface, and the release liner is covered by a strengthening sheet connected to the second surface and covering the aperture and the end of the film.
INJECTION OR INFUSION DEVICE COMPRISING AN IMPROVED HOUSING AND RELEASE LINER FOR REMOVING STERILE BARRIER FILMS USING THE RELEASE LINER
An injection device configured for attachment to the skin of a patient includes a housing and a skin adhesive layer attached to an external surface of the housing for attaching the injection device to the skin of a patient. A release liner covering the skin adhesive layer prevents the injection device from attaching to the skin. A film with one end connected to a surface inside of the housing forms a removable sterile barrier and the other end connected to an external surface of the release liner without contacting the skin adhesive layer. The housing, skin adhesive layer and release liner each include a notch defining a passage for the film so that the second end of the film can extend from the interior to the exterior of the housing.
