ADAPTIVE PRIMARY PACKAGING FOR THERAPEUTIC SOLUTIONS
Various container assemblies for containing a therapeutic liquid are provided. A first container assembly comprises a frame having a proximal end and a distal end and includes a plurality of axially extending legs, a collar attached to the plurality of axially extending legs at the proximal end of the frame, and a collapsible film covering the frame and attached to the distal end of the frame and at least a portion of the collar. A second container assembly for a therapeutic liquid comprises a collar and a collapsible film. The collar may comprise a plurality of hingedly connected segments configured to switch from an open configuration to a closed configuration. The collapsible film may be configured as a pouch having an open end attached to one end of the collar.
Bone material mixing and dispensing devices and methods
A device for mixing and dispensing bone material is provided. The device comprises a tubular member having an interior surface configured to receive bone material and a fluid to mix the bone material disposed within the tubular member. The tubular member is flexible and has a proximal opening configured to slidably receive a plunger, and a distal opening configured to dispense a mixed bone material from the interior surface of the tubular member. The plunger is less flexible than the tubular member. Methods of mixing and dispensing bone material are also provided.
Medical Agent Dispensing Apparatuses, Systems, and Methods
An example agent administration device may comprise a housing. The device may further comprise a sharp assembly including a delivery sharp. The sharp assembly may be reciprocally displaceable along a guide channel of the housing. The device may further comprise an access port in fluid communication with the delivery sharp. The device may further comprise an actuation assembly configured drive the sharp assembly, via urging of a single bias member, from a storage state in which the delivery sharp is within the housing, through a first extended position in which the delivery sharp extends a maximum distance from the housing and to a partially retracted position in which the delivery sharp extends a lesser distance from the housing.
Systems and methods for fluid delivery
The invention provides for a delivery system including a delivery assembly configured to allow delivery of a single dose of a therapeutic agent (e.g., vaccine, drug, medicament, etc.) from a Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) vial to a patient. The delivery assembly generally includes a modular design consisting of separately constructed components cooperatively arranged and coupled to one another. The modular construction allows for rapid manufacturing reconfigurations of one or more components with minimal costs to create new delivery assembly configurations that meet specific needs (i.e., different modes of delivery depending on agent to be delivered, such as subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, intravenous injection, spray, or droplet delivery). The delivery assembly is generally configured to be filled on-site and in the field and is further capable of delivery of the agent in a controlled manner and without requiring specialized skill in administering delivery of such agent.
FLUID STORAGE UNIT, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR CATHETER PRIMING
A catheter system may include a catheter assembly, a fluid storage unit, and fluid. The catheter assembly may include a catheter hub, a catheter, an extension tube, and an adapter. The catheter hub may include a distal end, a proximal end, a lumen extending between the distal end and the proximal end, and a side port. The catheter may extend distally from the distal end of the catheter hub. A distal end of the extension tube may be coupled to the side port. The adapter may be coupled to a proximal end of the extension tube. The fluid storage unit may be coupled to the adapter and may include a reservoir, a barrier, and an actuator. The fluid may be disposed within the reservoir. In response to breach of the barrier by the actuator, the reservoir may be in fluid communication with the lumen of the catheter hub.

An auto-injector may include a housing having a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis, the housing having a shorter dimension along the transverse axis than along the longitudinal axis, wherein the transverse axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; a flowpath having a first end and a second end; and a container enclosing a first fluid, the container extending from a first end toward a second end along or parallel to the longitudinal axis and being movable from a first position to a second position along or parallel to the longitudinal axis, the container being fluidly isolated from the flowpath in the first position and fluidly connected to the flowpath in the second position.
BENEFICIAL AGENT DISPENSER
A dispensing device for use with a beneficial agent has a dispensing package, a dispenser disposed on an end portion of the dispensing package, and an actuator movably disposed along at least a portion of the package between a pre-dispensing state and a dispensing state. One arrangement also provides a beneficial agent dispenser having a dispensing port, an elongate portion and a plunger that is movably disposed relative to a tubular wall of the elongate portion during a dispensing stroke to partially penetrate a separable barrier and expel the beneficial agent through the dispensing port.

Fluid Injector with Syringe Engagement Mechanism
An engagement mechanism associated with a reciprocally movable piston of a fluid injector is configured for releasably engaging an engagement portion at a proximal end of a rolling diaphragm syringe having a flexible sidewall configured for rolling upon itself when acted upon by the piston. The engagement mechanism has a plurality of engagement elements reversibly and radially movable relative to the engagement portion of the syringe between a first position, where the plurality of engagement elements are disengaged from the engagement portion of the syringe, and a second position, where the plurality of engagement elements are engaged with the engagement portion of the syringe. The engagement mechanism further has a drive mechanism for moving the plurality of engagement elements between the first position and the second position.
Fluid storage unit, systems, and methods for catheter priming
A catheter system may include a catheter assembly, a fluid storage unit, and fluid. The catheter assembly may include a catheter hub, a catheter, an extension tube, and an adapter. The catheter hub may include a distal end, a proximal end, a lumen extending between the distal end and the proximal end, and a side port. The catheter may extend distally from the distal end of the catheter hub. A distal end of the extension tube may be coupled to the side port. The adapter may be coupled to a proximal end of the extension tube. The fluid storage unit may be coupled to the adapter and may include a reservoir, a barrier, and an actuator. The fluid may be disposed within the reservoir. In response to breach of the barrier by the actuator, the reservoir may be in fluid communication with the lumen of the catheter hub.
