An injection device comprising a housing in which can be mounted a syringe comprising a barrel for holding a volume of medicament, a needle at one end of the barrel and a plunger axially-moveable in the barrel to a forwardmost position, the injection device further comprising a syringe support means for supporting the barrel at an axial location at or forward of the forwardmost position of the plunger and having a reaction surface for the syringe, whereby in use said reaction surface provides an axial compressive force on said barrel when a forward axial force is applied to the plunger.

A closed system transfer device (CSTD) includes a barrel, a plunger, and a connecting port fixed to the barrel. The barrel includes a first cavity and a second cavity, which are separated. A piston of the plunger is operably moved within the first cavity and divides the first cavity into a first region and a second region that communicates with the second cavity. The connecting port includes a first channel communicating with the first cavity and a second channel communicating with the second cavity. When the CSTD is connected to a drug-liquid container to draw liquid, the first region is enlarged to draw the liquid into the first region from the container through the first channel. Simultaneously, the second region is reduced to discharge air in the second region to the container through the second cavity and the second channel. Thus, the CSTD and the container form a closed environment.

A needle protection device (10) for protecting a needle has a needle carrier (12) for carrying said needle (14) and being translatable along a longitudinal axis X between a first, deployed, position (D) and a second, protected, position (P); a shuttle (16) surrounding said needle (14); a hub (24) for receiving the needle carrier (12); a sleeve (26) being rotatable around each of said needle carrier (12), said shuttle (16) and said hub (24); a first driving mechanism (30) between said needle carrier (12) and said shuttle (16) to cause axial displacement of said shuttle (16) in a first direction (A) between a first, retracted position R and a second, deployed position Ds upon axial displacement of the needle carrier (12) along axis X; and a second driving mechanism (32) between said needle carrier (12) and said sleeve (26) to cause axial displacement of the carrier (12) in said first direction (A) upon rotational displacement of the sleeve (26).

An add-on for a self-injector including an adaptor and a bent fluid path is provided. The adaptor includes at least one coupling sized and shaped to couple the adaptor to a fluid reservoir. The bent fluid path is configured at a first end to penetrate tissue and coupled at a second end to the adaptor. The add-on coupled to the fluid reservoir forms an integral self-injector cartridge unit configured to be sterilized and filled with an injectable. The adaptor is configured to couple to a self-injector at least one of a plurality of reservoirs having different sizes and tip types.

An ophthalmic device including a cannula having a cannula distal end, a lumen, and one or more orifices coupled to the lumen is provided. The cannula is configured to deliver a fluid. A sleeve is disposed around the cannula and has a sleeve distal end. A handle is coupled to the sleeve and the cannula, the handle having an actuator. An internal mechanism is coupled to the actuator and configured to retract the sleeve relative to the cannula. The internal mechanism includes a follower fixedly coupled to the sleeve and moveable between distal and proximal positions, and a release member movable between an activated position and a release position. The release member is coupled to the actuator and configured to release a force that urges the follower from the distal position to the proximal position when the release member moves from the activated position to the release position.

An expanding plunger rod (100) for a syringe (50). The expanding plunger rod is configured to transition from a packaged configuration for packaging to an expanded configuration for operation. The expanding plunger rod comprises a substantially cylindrical outer sleeve (110) having a closed-off bottom end (108) and an open upper end (111). The expanding plunger includes an inner rod (114) having a lower end (138) and an upper end (140). The inner rod is slidably disposed coaxially within the outer sleeve. In the packaged configuration, the inner rod is nested within the outer sleeve. In the expanded configuration, the inner rod is disposed substantially axially above the outer sleeve, and the inner rod is configured to lock axially in place so as to prevent transition from the expanded configuration to the packaged configuration.

An add-on for a self-injector including an adaptor and a bent fluid path is provided. The adaptor includes at least one coupling sized and shaped to couple the adaptor to a fluid reservoir. The bent fluid path is configured at a first end to penetrate tissue and coupled at a second end to the adaptor. The add-on coupled to the fluid reservoir forms an integral self-injector cartridge unit configured to be sterilized and filled with an injectable. The adaptor is configured to couple to a self-injector at least one of a plurality of reservoirs having different sizes and tip types.

A cannula may include a bowl portion comprising a first opening and a second opening, and an insertion tube extending from the bowl portion. The insertion tube defines a passage extending from the second opening and terminating in a distal end opening. The passage is configured to receive an instrument to be advanced through the cannula. The insertion tube has a transparent portion extending proximally from the distal end opening, and a strengthened portion extending proximally from the transparent portion.

An injector for delivering medicament includes a first sleeve defining a longitudinal axis, a medicament container, and a locking tab. The medicament container is at least partially disposed within the first sleeve and configured for axial translation with respect to the first sleeve along the longitudinal axis. The medicament container includes a barrel, a needle mounted to a distal end of the barrel, a seal slidably mounted in the barrel, and a plunger rod. The locking tab extends through an aperture in the first sleeve and is in contact with or adjacent to a portion of the medicament container such that the locking tab restricts translation of the barrel with respect to the first sleeve along the longitudinal axis. The locking tab is configured to be movable to a second position in which the locking tab does not restrict translation of the barrel.

Flush syringe assemblies are described herein. Such flush syringe assembly may include a barrel including a side wall defining a chamber, a collar mounted on a distal wall of the barrel and surrounding an elongate tip. A cap may be attached to the collar via a hinge. The flush syringe assembly may also include a cap attached to the collar via a hinge. A ring may be disposed around the collar with a locking element that engages with a corresponding mating locking projection on the cap. The cap may include a slanted surface. The slanted surface of the cap may include one or more ribs made of an elastomeric material.
