The present invention relates to a syringe and medical kit, which allow for doses of epinephrine of 0.15 mg or 0.15 mL, 0.3 mg or 0.3 mL, and 0.5 mg or 0.5 mL, the most commonly prescribed doses which are utilized today in treating anaphylaxis or other allergic reactions. Currently, existing syringes may include many markings of ten or more dosages. Although these prior art syringes are useful, it is difficult to use them for a patient who must quickly identify a correct dose level among many other marks. The above problem can be addressed by a syringe design which has only a few dosage markings, which correspond to commonly used standard dosages for children and adults. When used with a standard concentration of 1:1000 epinephrine solution, such a device can rapidly provide a known quantity of medicine to a patient who is in urgent need of it.

A system for injecting includes a syringe body having proximal and distal ends, a syringe interior, and a syringe flange at the proximal end thereof. The system also includes a stopper member disposed in the syringe interior. The system further includes a plunger member coupled to the stopper member. The plunger member includes a rotatable member configured to insert the stopper member distally in the syringe interior relative to the syringe body with rotation of the rotatable member. The plunger member further includes a proximal portion proximal of the rotatable member configured to be moved distally to also insert the stopper member distally in the syringe interior relative to the syringe body to eject about microliters of fluid from the syringe interior.

A syringe for withdrawing an aspirate from a body for micro fat grafting is provided. The syringe includes a barrel having an inner wall extending therein. The inner wall has one or more apertures formed therein allowing the aspirate to contact an absorbent positioned between the inner wall and an outer wall of the barrel. A plunger moves longitudinally within the barrel along the inner wall and has a gasket attached to a proximal end forming a seal against the inner wall. The absorbent may take many forms to absorb a non-fat cell portion of the aspirate. A related method includes retracting the plunger from a first position to draw the aspirate from a harvest site of a body into the barrel, exposing the aspirate to the absorbent, and moving the plunger toward the first position so a remaining portion of the aspirate is no longer exposed to the absorbent.

Apparatus and methods for delivering medicament. The apparatus may include a fitting for a fluid dispenser. The fitting may include a detent that is configured to limit insertion of the dispenser into the fitting by contacting a terminal surface of the dispenser; and a seal for sealing against the surface. The apparatus may include an insert for the fitting. The insert may include a gasket to seal against the terminal surface of the dispenser; a proximal rim to engage a lateral wall of the dispenser; and a connector fixed to the gasket and the rim. The apparatus may include a coupler to engage a pre-filled dispenser; and a body defining a passageway that is configured to be placed in fluid communication with the dispenser. The apparatus may include a dispenser that includes a detent and a seal. The detent may limit insertion of the dispenser into a fitting.

A method of preparing a syringe in connection with a therapeutic treatment is disclosed. The method can include removing a plunger of the syringe from a barrel of the syringe, aligning the barrel in a horizontal orientation, filling a lumen of the barrel with a viscous material through an opening at a proximal end of the barrel, and inserting a plunger tip into the lumen to seal the lumen. The method can also include attaching an implantation device to a hub coupled to the barrel at a distal end of the barrel. The method can also include depressing the plunger until the cell suspension fills the implantation device and a droplet of the cell suspension is expelled from a distal tip of the implantation device.

A needle assembly includes: a needle comprising a hollow needle tube, a needle tip at a distal end of the hollow needle tube, and a cutting face disposed adjacent to the needle tip; and a needle hub that includes a tip and a base end, and holds the needle at the needle tip. The needle hub includes a needle tip side end face from which the needle tip projects. An outer diameter of the needle is within a range of 0.15 mm to 0.20 mm, inclusive. A projection needle length extending from the needle tip side end face to the needle tip is within a range of 0.50 mm to 1.25 mm, inclusive. A needle body length extending from the needle tip side end face to a proximal end of the cutting face in within a range of 0.10 mm to 0.70 mm, inclusive.

Antigens of Toxoplasma gondii that provide specific and strong delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) immune response, or which stimulate IFN-y secretion, are used for testing subjects for infection. Any skin testing format may be adapted for testing for the delayed type hypersensitivity, including a patch, a needle, or a prong. Presence of DTH indicates infection. Alternate methods of detecting a T cell response including monitoring IFN-y secretion may be used.

Provided is a system and method for a removable syringe micro pump. More specifically, the removable syringe micro pump includes a pump housing having a first end and opposite thereto an attaching end, and at least one sidewall there between, the housing having a base proximate to the first end and, the attaching end having an attacher structured and arranged to temporarily engage a syringe. A volute spring is nested within the housing and attached proximate to the base, the volute spring having a compressed first position wherein coils of the volute spring are concentrically disposed under tension such that an initial height of the volute spring is equivalent to a width of a coil, and an extended second position wherein the release of tension extends the volute spring normally away from the pump housing. The volute spring has a diameter pre-selected to pass within a barrel of the engaged syringe. The volute spring further having a distal end structured and arranged to engage a plunger seal of the engaged syringe, wherein the release of tension between the first position and the second position permits the distal end of the volute spring to move the plunger seal towards a nozzle of the syringe. An associated method of use is also provided.

A dropper syringe apparatus includes a cylindrical barrel, a plunger assembly, and a needle. The cylindrical barrel storing the fluid includes a flanged first opening and a second opening. The plunger assembly, inserted into the cylindrical barrel, includes a plunger shaft and a flexible hollow bulb. The plunger shaft includes a flanged upper end, a lower end, and a central lumen. The plunger shaft moves in an upward and a downward direction within the cylindrical barrel. The central lumen extends from the lower to the flanged upper end of the plunger shaft for accommodating the fluid. The flexible hollow bulb is fixedly attached to the flanged upper end and in fluid communication with the central lumen. An external force exerted on the flexible hollow bulb exerts a pressure on the fluid accommodated within the lumen. The needle draws or dispenses the fluid from or to the external body.

Precision low-dose, low-waste syringe configurations have a reduced diameter lumen for dispensing 0.01 ml increments of contents. Plunger and lumen configurations and a needle interface eliminate dead space. Ergonomic attachments improve the control and precision of delivery of syringes. An attachment main body includes a gripping surface to permit a user to engage the attachment and move the attachment main body, and thus the syringe plunger relative to the syringe barrel using sliding movement. Optical enhancement features are provided on the attachment to improve the readability of gradations and plunger position. The attachment may be provided with an assist feature, which may be a traction wheel mounted on the attachment body. An alternative configuration suitable for syringe contents of higher viscosity may include a pair of toothed pinion gears on a wheel and which cooperate with respective toothed racks formed on or fastened to the syringe body.
