A medicament delivery device includes a distal housing part; a proximal housing part for a container; a drive mechanism in the distal housing part that includes a plunger rod; and an auto mixing mechanism. The housing parts are movable from a first position, in which the housing parts are partially extended relative to each other, to a second position, in which the housing parts are partially retracted relative to each other. The auto mixing mechanism is configured to hold the housing parts in the first position and to lock the housing parts in the second position, and includes a mixing force member operably arranged between the housing parts such that manual activation of the auto mixing mechanism enables the mixing force member to cause the housing parts to move from the first position to the second position. The plunger rod acts to mixing a medicament in the container.

The present disclosure provides a modular, connectable, dual chamber syringe system that can be used to mix, dispense and/or inject multiple materials sequentially or concurrently. The dual chamber syringe system may be prefilled in advance with different materials, e.g., multiple medicaments, and prepackaged, and is capable of being removed from the packaging and being used immediately, such as in a medical setting. In one illustrative embodiment, the dual chamber syringe system includes a design with the following arrangement of the main components: hypodermic needle—first container with female threaded end—male threaded cap—female threaded cap—second container with male threaded end—plunger. In a second illustrative embodiment, the dual chamber syringe system includes a design with the following arrangement of the main components: hypodermic needle—first container with female threaded end—membrane—membrane—second container with male threaded end—plunger.

A device, method, and system are provided for treating pleural effusion by administration of a chemical agent through a pleural catheter to achieve pleurodesis. A first embodiment includes a dual barreled syringe to deliver the sclerosing agent; one barrel includes a sclerosing agent, and the other barrel includes a flushing fluid. A kit of the invention comprises a plurality of syringe devices each preloaded with a sclerosing agent matched with a presumptive diagnosis regarding the etiology of the pleural effusion to be treated. A device of the invention includes a handheld, disposable, electronic delivery device with preloaded chambers holding selected medicaments and flushing fluid. Automatic delivery of medicaments is achieved in which a microcontroller of the device controls evacuation of the selected chambers by one or more actuators that communicate with the chambers.

A multi-chamber syringe for delivering a plurality of fluids to a central venous catheter includes a barrel and a plunger. The barrel includes a plurality of chambers, and a first one of the plurality of chambers has a predefined volume of a saline flush stored therein. Actuation of the plunger causes the predefined volume of the saline flush to be dispensed from the barrel into the central venous catheter.

A dental anesthetic buffer system has a carpule having a first end and a second end, a capsule at least partially disposed within the carpule proximate the first end so as to fluidly seal the first end, and a membrane disposed proximate the second end so as to fluidly seal the second end. A liquid anesthetic is contained within the carpule between the first end and the second end. A liquid buffer is contained within the capsule. An activator is disposed proximate the buffer and extends from the carpule first end. The activator is manually moved from a first position to a second position so as to release the buffer from the capsule and combine the buffer with the anesthetic.

A discharger comprising a housing, a piston arranged inside the housing and being movable between a first piston position and a second piston position, a hollow cylindrical container inside the housing, the container being movable between a first container position and a second container position, a first compartment defined within the housing, a second compartment defined within the container, an axially extending passage in the interior of the piston and in communication with the first compartment and a peripheral opening of the piston in the region of a proximal end of the piston, a sealing element configured to prevent communication between the second compartment and the peripheral opening of the piston when the container is in a first container position, and a releasable retaining device configured to retain the piston in a piston first position until the container has reached a second container position.

A syringe assembly comprising a barrel for containing one or more medicaments, the barrel having a front outlet for allowing the expulsion of said one or more medicaments from the said barrel through said outlet, and a first stopper disposed in the barrel and axially moveable therein and defining a first volume in the barrel axially forwards of the first stopper and a second volume in the barrel axially rearwards of the first stopper. The first stopper has a two way valve that is moveable between a sealing configuration and an open configuration to selectively put the first volume in fluid communication with the second volume. The two way valve is moveable from the sealing configuration to the open configuration by an increase in fluid pressure in either of the first and second volumes. The syringe assembly additionally comprises a second stopper disposed in the barrel axially rearward of the first stopper and axially moveable therein, the second stopper providing a fluid tight seal at a rear end of the second volume. The syringe assembly further comprises a first plunger rod connected to the first stopper and extending axially rearwardly through the second stopper, the second stopper sealingly engaging with the first plunger rod but permitting axial sliding of the first plunger rod therethrough. The first plunger rod is axially moveable so as to axially move the first stopper and pressurise either of the first volume and second volume causing the two way valve to move into the open configuration and fluidly connect the first volume and second volume.

A method and apparatus for sealing a biologics delivery system, said applicator including two adjoining syringes, each having a barrel and an exit tube distal to the barrel, and an interchangeable delivery tip, having a delivery tip connector portion, and storage cap, each connectable to the exit tube of each barrel, and having a fixed internal O-ring for fluid-tight connection between the delivery tip and storage cap and said exit tube.

A syringe for mixing and ejecting an active pharmaceutical ingredient is disclosed. The syringe is designed in such a manner that it is ensured that substantially all of the mixed drug is ejected, and in such a manner that an active pharmaceutical ingredient can be lyophilized directly into the syringe. The syringe comprises a syringe body, a first plunger arranged movably inside the syringe body and a second plunger arranged movably inside the first plunger. In one aspect the second plunger comprises a first plunger part and a second plunger part, and the first and second plunger parts are adapted to cooperate to collapse the cavity of the first plunger. In a second aspect the cavity of the first plunger has a first diameter at a distal end and a second diameter at a proximal end, the first diameter being smaller than the second diameter.

A medicament delivery device (100) for delivery of medicament through a cannula (132) from a cartridge (10), the device comprising a first container (11) for storage of a first substance, a second container (12), and valve means for closing a distal end of the second chamber (12), the second container (12) being arranged coaxially with respect to the first container (11), a mixing element (304) being provided for causing displacement of the second substance into the first container (11) through the valve means in a mixing stroke, a release element being provided for holding the mixing element (304) in an initial position and being operable to release the mixing element (304) to initiate the mixing stroke, there being a needle shroud (400) for shrouding the cannula, and removal of the needle shroud (400) from the cannula (132) causing operation of the release element.
