Dual needle syringe for preventing infection
A dual-needle syringe capable of preventing infection, including: an infusion needle shaft (3) configured to aspirate a liquid from a drug container (30); an injection needle shaft (5) having a sharp point of one end inserted into a body, and the other end connected to the syringe (10), through which the liquid filled in the syringe (10) is injected into a body; a hub barrel (7) engaged to a barrel (15) of the syringe (10) to infuse the liquid, which is aspirated from the drug container (30) through the infusion needle shaft (3), into the syringe (10) through the injection needle shaft (5), the hub barrel having an infusion needle shaft hub (21) and an injection needle shaft hub (23) which can be separated from each other before the liquid is injected; and a filter (9) configured to filter foreign substances contained in the liquid.
Syringe assembly with ion-exchange material
A pre-filled syringe is disclosed, comprising a barrel and a plunger, the barrel having an outlet, the barrel containing a pharmaceutically acceptable solution having a non-physiological pH, wherein the syringe further comprises an ion exchange material. The ion exchange material is provided at a position to allow contact with the pharmaceutically acceptable solution upon ejection of the pharmaceutically acceptable solution from the barrel via the outlet. The ion exchange material is capable of adjusting the pH of the solution from a non-physiological pH, at which the pharmaceutically acceptable solution is stored in order to ensure acceptable shelf life, to a more physiological pH at which the discomfort and/or pain experienced during injection may be alleviated.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE DELIVERY OF A THROMBIN ACTIVATED FIBRIN SEALANT
The invention relates to a dispenser of a sealant for hemostasis comprising a container configured to receive a fibrinogen solution and an activation compartment being situated downstream of the container and comprising a functionalized support to which a coagulation factor, preferably thrombin, is immobilized, such that upon dispensing the fibrinogen solution it passes through the activation compartment, thereby generating and dispensing polymerizing fibrin as a sealant. The invention further relates to a support, exchangeable tip and a kit for the dispenser as well as to methods and uses of the dispenser or components thereof for dispensing a sealant to a desired site.
Tissue collection and delivery device and methods of use thereof
A system and method for harvesting autologous tissue, mincing it into fragments that are visible and measureable when filtered, and delivering a portion of the tissue back into the patient without the need to directly touch the tissue. During the same surgical procedure, the tissue can be mixed with a biocompatible agent before introduction into the repair site.
MEDICAL DEVICE
A medical device includes: a medicinal agent storage device connected to the catheter, a flow control device, and a package. The medicinal agent storage device includes a storage part and a second channel, the storage part is configured to store a medicinal agent, and wherein the second channel provides fluid communication between the storage part and the first channel. The package encloses the catheter, the medicinal agent storage device, and the flow control device in a sterilized state. In a first state, the flow control device is configured to prevent the medicinal agent from flowing from the storage part into the first channel. The flow control device is included in the catheter or included in the medicinal agent storage device.
Syringe for processing fat grafts and related methods
A syringe for withdrawing an aspirate from a body for micro fat grafting is provided. The syringe includes a barrel having an inner wall extending therein. The inner wall has one or more apertures formed therein allowing the aspirate to contact an absorbent positioned between the inner wall and an outer wall of the barrel. A plunger moves longitudinally within the barrel along the inner wall and has a gasket attached to a proximal end forming a seal against the inner wall. The absorbent may take many forms to absorb a non-fat cell portion of the aspirate. A related method includes retracting the plunger from a first position to draw the aspirate from a harvest site of a body into the barrel, exposing the aspirate to the absorbent, and moving the plunger toward the first position so a remaining portion of the aspirate is no longer exposed to the absorbent.
Intraocular gas injector
A gas mixture apparatus includes a measurement control system, an activation system, a pressurized chamber with one or more gases, and a mixing chamber. A filter can be preattached to the outlet of the mixture apparatus, allowing excess gas to be discharged therethrough and then atmospheric air to be drawn into the mixture apparatus through the filter for creating a therapeutic gas mixture.
Ampule autoinjector systems and methods
An autoinjector is described that includes an outer body, a first trigger, an output needle, and a first compartment. The first compartment is positioned within the outer body and includes (i) a main body, (ii) a first biasing member coupled to the first trigger, and (iii) a protrusion positioned at a distal end of the main body. The autoinjector further includes a second compartment positioned in the outer body and in fluid communication with the first compartment and the output needle. The autoinjector also includes a second biasing member coupled to a second trigger. The first biasing member is configured to, upon application of force to the first trigger, automatically move an ampule in a distal direction relative to the main body to force the ampule against the protrusion, so as to break the ampule and allow a medicament to flow from the ampule to the second compartment.
BLOOD-FILTERING DEVICES FOR USE WITH CLOT TREATMENT SYSTEMS
Disclosed herein are clot treatment systems with filtering syringes, and associated devices and methods. The filtering syringe can be coupled to a catheter subsystem insertable within a patient. The filtering syringe can aspirate material (e.g., clot material, blood, etc.) from a patient via the catheter subsystem. The filtering syringe can include a plunger assembly, and the plunger assembly can include one or more filters. Each of the filters can be configured to (i) allow at least a first portion of aspirated material (e.g., blood) to pass through at least one of the filters, and (ii) prevent at least a second portion of the aspirated material (e.g., clot material) from passing through at least one of the filters. In some embodiments, the filtering syringe is fluidly coupled to a filtered material subsystem that can fluidly couple the filtering syringe to the patient or another suitable fluid outflow location.
Intraocular gas injector
A gas mixture apparatus includes a measurement control system, an activation system, a pressurized chamber with one or more gases, and a mixing chamber. A filter can be preattached to an outlet of the mixture apparatus, allowing excess gas to be discharged therethrough and then atmospheric air to be drawn into the mixture apparatus through the filter for creating a therapeutic gas mixture.
