Devices and methods for the ab interno delivery of two or more fluid compositions into Schlemm's canal through a single insertion point in the eye with minimal trauma. The hand-held delivery device includes a handle coupled to an elongated shaft that terminates in a self-trephinating tip through which one or more cannulae are slidably disposed and can be extended or retracted therethrough. The handle further defines a chamber for receiving one or more cartridges each containing at least one fluid composition. Each cartridge is fluidly connected to a respective cannula such that sequential actuation of each cartridge causes dispensation of the fluid compositions at the site for delivery without having to repeatedly enter the target site multiple times. Ab interno methods for localized delivery of a fluid composition into Schlemm's canal are further described.

A combination plunger, a mixing device and a mixing syringe including the same are provided. The mixing syringe includes concentric outer and inner barrels that form an outer chamber, the inner barrel having an inner chamber. The combination plunger includes a mixing plunger and a delivery plunger and a biasing means. The mixing plunger is slidably located in the outer chamber and translated by coordinated depression of the delivery plunger to transfer a first substance from the outer chamber to mix with a second substance in the inner chamber. After the mixing stage is complete, the delivery plunger is disengaged from the mixing plunger and permitted, such as by rotation, to be further depressed in the axial direction to deliver fluid contents of the mixing syringe to a recipient. The mixing syringe needle is then retracted as result of engagement by the delivery plunger and activation of the biasing means.

A delivery assembly includes a console including a vial containment region and a vial engagement mechanism extending from the console within the vial containment region. The engagement mechanism is configured to engage a vial assembly. The delivery assembly further includes a sled assembly removably coupled to the console at the vial containment region and a safety shield removably coupled to the console over the vial containment region such that the vial engagement mechanism and the sled assembly are encapsulated within the safety shield when the safety shield is coupled thereto. The sled assembly, the vial assembly, and the safety shield are configured to inhibit radioactive emissions from within the vial containment region.

A plunger assembly is configured for slidable advancement through a reservoir of a vessel containing a material to be administered. The plunger assembly includes a plunger rod having a distal end configured to be inserted into the reservoir. An elastomeric plunger extending from the distal end of the plunger rod is configured to sealingly engage a sidewall of the reservoir. At least one printed circuit board is embedded within the plunger, and at least one electronic component is electrically connected with the at least one printed circuit board.

A device (200) for mixing first and second substances. The device comprises a first container (100) for storage of the first substance and a second container (150) received in the first container (100) and for storage of the second substance. An outlet (112) is disposed at the distal end of the first container (100). Valve means (180) are provided for closing a distal end of the second container (150) and a proximal end of the first container (100). A stopper means (166) closes a proximal end of the second chamber (152) and is movable with respect to the second container (150). An operating mechanism drives relative movement between the first and second containers for causing displacement of the second substance into the first chamber (102) through the valve means (180) when the outlet (112) is closed, for mixing the first and second substances in a mixing stroke of the device.

A female syringe of a syringe kit includes a female syringe barrel including a cylindrical portion into which a nozzle of a male syringe is insertable, a hollow cylindrical packing arranged in the cylindrical portion, and a cap detachably attached to the cylindrical portion. When the cap is detached from the cylindrical portion, the packing remains in the cylindrical portion, a distal end opening is opened, and the nozzle of the male syringe is fitted in a liquid-tight manner to an inner side of the packing.

The present disclosure relates to a syringe including a container, for containing a primary fluid, and at least one secondary fluid chamber configured to contain a secondary fluid. The container comprises a proximal end and a distal end and having a distal end opening at the distal end. The syringe further comprises a stopper, movably arranged within the container; and a plunger engageable with the stopper and configured to apply a force to the stopper to move the stopper within the container towards the distal end of the container, to expel primary fluid from the container through the distal end opening. The plunger is further configured to expel secondary fluid from the at least one secondary fluid chamber towards the distal end opening, to expel at least a portion of a residual volume of primary fluid through the distal end opening. A plunger system and assembly for a syringe and methods of expelling fluid from a syringe are also disclosed.

An ophthalmic device includes a housing configured to hold an injectant chamber configured to store an injectant, a plunger disposed within the injectant chamber, and a stopper coupled to a distal portion of the plunger. The device also includes a hypodermic needle disposed at a distal end of the housing, and a sample chamber located within the housing adjacent to the distal end. The housing, hypodermic needle, and sample chamber are arranged such that when the stopper is moved to a first depth within the housing, the sample chamber is configured to receive material via the hypodermic needle. The housing, hypodermic needle, and sample chamber are also arranged such that when the stopper is moved to a second depth within the housing exceeding the first depth, the injectant chamber is configured to dispense the injectant through the hypodermic needle.

A mixing device configured to hold two containers, each having a separate medicament component disposed therein. A fluidic channel is provided that upon creating fluidic communication with each container once seals about each container are opened. Then a transfer mechanism can transfer the medicament components from one container to the other container until ready to be delivered or transferred through the fluidic channel through a delivery assembly.

Provided is an apparatus, system, and method for a nested syringe assembly. The nested syringe assembly includes a first syringe having a cylindrical body defining an inner diameter and a second syringe having a cylindrical body defining an outer diameter. The outer diameter of the second syringe is less than the inner diameter of the first syringe. At least a portion of the cylindrical body of the second syringe is disposed within the cylindrical body of the first syringe.
