A cold slurry syringe with enhanced features is provided for delivering a cold slurry into the human body. The syringe includes a syringe body for holding a volume of cold slurry, a plunger that slides within the syringe body for ejecting the cold slurry, and a tapered syringe head for delivering an even flow of cold slurry. An agitator can be added to keep the cold slurry from agglomerating and clogging the syringe. Insulation added around the syringe can keep the cold slurry from melting too quickly. A ball screw drive can be added to provide a smooth and consistent application of pressure as the cold slurry is delivered. The cold slurry flow can be enhanced by adding a streamline flow feature that reduces the occurrence of eddies or swirls inside the syringe. This feature can also help maintain the composition and consistency of the cold slurry.

An injection device that comprises a chamber configured for containing a substance to be injected and a needle operatively associated with the chamber and having a length sufficient to deliver the substance to an intradermal injection site. A collar surrounds the needle, defining a collar cavity. The collar also has a peripheral forward skin-contacting surface that surrounds and is radially spaced from the needle and injection site by an area that is sufficiently large to allow a patient's skin to move into the collar cavity to properly position the needle for intradermal delivery of the substance to the injection site to allow spread of the injected substance under the skin while inhibiting or preventing backpressure within the skin from forcing the substance out through the injection site.

Core annular flow is used to enable the subcutaneous delivery of a viscous fluid such as a protein therapeutic formulation. The high-viscosity fluid is surrounded by a low-viscosity fluid, and the low-viscosity fluid lubricates the passage of the high-viscosity fluid. This allows the use of protein formulations that have a higher concentration and a higher viscosity at comparatively reduced injection forces and reduced injection times. Several different embodiments of injection devices that provide core annular flow are described herein.

A medicant injection device includes a compressible body, a tip, and an outer luer body. The compressible body has a proximal end, a distal end, and a plurality of bellows, and defines an inner cavity for holding a liquid medicant. The tip is positioned at the proximal end of the compressible body. The outer luer body includes internal threads, and is positioned over and engaged with the tip to form a first fitting therewith. The first fitting is configured to be connected with a second fitting. A medicant injection device includes a compressible body having first and second arms, a receptacle interconnected with the compressible body and defining an inner cavity, and a first fitting configured to engage a second fitting. The compressible body is configured to be compressed by forcing the distal end of the first and second arm toward each other.

The present invention relates to an assembly comprising an injection device comprising a container for a product, wherein the container includes a distal tip encompassing a channel providing a passageway for transferring the product, and an adaptor mounted onto the distal tip. The assembly further includes a heat-shrinkable film covering at least part of the container and at least part of the adaptor, wherein the heat-shrinkable film maintains the adaptor blocked in rotation and in translation relative to the container when the heat-shrinkable film is in heat-shrunk condition.

A dispensing device (1) for dispensing a fluid, preferably an injection syringe. The device comprises a main body (2) which has a longitudinal axis (A) and has a receiving space (3) for receiving the fluid, and a connection channel (4) communicates with the receiving space. The connection channel opens on a valve face (5) of the main body. The device comprises a movable flow control element (6) arranged on the main body. The flow control element has one or more flow channels (7) which open on a valve face (8) of the flow control element. The connection channel of the main body and the flow channels of the flow control element are fluidically connected to each other by relative movement of main body and flow control element. A sealing element (10) is arranged between the valve face of the main body and the valve face of the flow control element.

The present invention relates to an assembly (101) comprising: an injection device (1) comprising a container (2) for a product, said container comprising a distal tip (3), an adaptor (5) comprising a ring (6) mounted onto said distal tip (3), characterized in that said assembly (101) further comprises a heat-shrinkable film (9) covering part (2a) of said container (2) and part (5a) of said adaptor (5), said film (9) maintaining said adaptor (5) blocked in rotation and in translation with respect to said container (2) when said film (9) is in its heat-shrunk condition. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such an assembly.

A drug injection device (10) including a housing (12) for holding a container (20) having a needle (24) for penetrating skin and a plunger (42) for expelling a drug stored in the container. The device includes visual and/or audible indicators for indicating that the correct depth of needle penetration has been achieved and that drug injection/extrusion has been started and/or completed. The device may further include a label (140) for visually confirming the quality of the drug contained therein. Alternatively, a tray (110) may be provided for receiving the drug injection device, which allows the quality of the drug contained therein to be visually confirmed.

Modules for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a system to measure and record administration of one or more IV medications or fluids for IV administration.

A hypodermic interface assembly includes a cannula and a hub. The hub is defined by a first portion and a second portion. The second portion of the hub is breakably-connected to the first portion of the hub. The cannula is joined to the second portion of the hub. The second portion of the hub is defined by an outer head surface portion having a first geometry. The second portion of the hub also includes an outer neck or groove surface portion having a second geometry. The first geometry of the outer head surface portion is greater than the second geometry of the outer neck or groove surface portion.
