An at least partly implantable system for injecting a substance into a patient's body, in particular a penis erection stimulation system, comprises one or more long, flexibly bendable infusion needles, the tip ends of which are disposed within and implanted along with at least one first housing, in particular adjacent the patient's left and right corpora cavernosa. The respective other end or ends of the infusion needles are disposed and implanted along with at least one second housing remote from the first housing. A reservoir and a pump are also implanted inside the patient's body to supply the infusion needle with infusion liquid. A drive unit also adapted for implantation inside the patient's body is arranged for advancing and retracting the infusion needle such that its tip end penetrates the at least one first housing's outer wall in at least one penetration area, more specifically at least in two different penetration areas either simultaneously or in immediate time succession, thereby injecting the substance into the patient's body.

The present disclosure provides a new and innovative method and system for flow rate compensation in devices, such as infusion pumps. In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method includes determining a location of a plurality of infusion pumps in a pump stack including the plurality of infusion pumps and a fluid supply connected to each of the plurality of infusion pumps. The computer-implemented method also includes determining a reference infusion pump, in the plurality of infusion pumps, and adjusting the flow rate for each infusion pump in the plurality of infusion pumps based on the distance between the infusion pump and the reference infusion pump.

The present invention relates to a method of replenishing a system for injecting a substance into the patient's body, when the system is implanted in the patient's body. The method involves replenishing the implanted reservoir by a replenishing needle penetrating the patient's skin and injecting infusion liquid comprising the substance through the replenishing needle directly or indirectly into the reservoir.

A method of treating a patient by implanting a system comprising an infusion device for injecting a substance, at least one reservoir comprising at least one compartment which accommodates and preserves the substance to be injected, and an active cooling device adapted to cool the reservoir and thereby keep the substance within said at least one compartment of the reservoir at a temperature below 37? C. The method comprises the steps of: cutting the skin, dissecting free at least one area within the patient's body, placing the infusion device and the at least one reservoir inside the patient's body along with the cooling device, such that the at least one reservoir is in fluid connection with the infusion device to supply to the infusion device the substance to be injected into the patient's body, and closing at least the skin after implantation of at least parts of the system.

The present invention relates to a method of treating a patient by an at least partly implantable system for injecting a substance into the patient's body. In the system, there is provided an infusion device for injecting the substance into a part of the body of the patient, the infusion device being adapted for implantation inside the patient's body, at least one reservoir comprising at least one compartment which accommodates and preserves the substance to be injected, the reservoir being adapted for implantation inside the patient's body in fluid connection with the infusion device to supply to the infusion device the substance to be injected into the patient's body, and an active cooling device adapted for implantation inside the patient's body and adapted to cool the reservoir and thereby keep the substance within said at least one compartment of the reservoir at a temperature below 37? C.

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.

Provided is a pushing device for a drug delivery device that is implanted in the body and coupled to a drug delivery device, which includes a press button for discharging a drug stored inside a housing to the outside, to selectively press the press button, the pushing device including: a body portion detachably coupled to the drug delivery device with skin tissue placed therebetween; and a presser supported to be movable from the body portion in a longitudinal direction thereof and disposed to face the press button.

The present invention relates to an at least partly implantable system for injecting a substance into a patient's body. The system comprises at least one implantable infusion needle arranged in at least one first housing, the at least one implantable infusion needle having a tip end for injecting a substance into a penetration area of a patient, and at least one drive unit coupled to the at least one implantable infusion needle and arranged for moving the tip end of the at least one infusion needle for varying the penetration site, wherein the at least one drive unit is a drive unit arranged for moving the tip end of the at least one infusion needle using hydraulic force. The system is adapted to use infusion liquid to be injected into the patient's body as hydraulic fluid.

IV sets including a plurality of hand pumps and methods of use thereof are described herein. An IV set includes a first portion of tubing, a second portion of tubing, and a drip chamber. The drip chamber includes a spikeless inlet fluidically coupled to the first portion of the tubing, an outlet fluidic ally coupled to the second portion of the tubing, and a curved drop former positioned within the drip chamber between the inlet and the outlet. The curved drop former is configured to receive a fluid via the spikeless inlet and form, based on a curvature of its surface, one or more droplets having a substantially uniform consistency and flowing at a substantially constant rate through the drip chamber.

An at least partly implantable system for injecting a substance into a patient's body. The system comprises an infusion device for injecting a substance into a part of the body of the patient, the infusion device being adapted for implantation inside the patient's body. The system further comprises at least one reservoir comprising at least one compartment which accommodates and preserves or is adapted to accommodate and preserve the substance to be injected, the reservoir being adapted for implantation inside the patient's body in fluid connection with the infusion device to supply to the infusion device the substance to be injected into the patient's body. The system further comprises an active cooling device adapted for implantation inside the patient's body and adapted to cool the reservoir and thereby keep the substance within said at least one compartment of the reservoir at a temperature below 37? C.
