A storage device (30) for storing a pen needle assembly (10) includes a housing (30) having first wells (44) with a dimension for receiving the pen needle assembly and second wells (46) for receiving an inner shield (24) of the pen needle assembly. The second wells (46) have a diameter less than a diameter of the first wells (44). An ejector (40) in the housing (34) can be actuated to eject the used needle hub (16) and outer covers (22) from the first well (44) and the inner shield (24) from the second well (46) for disposal. A method of coupling a pen needle delivery device to a needle hub is also provided.

An apparatus for destroying syringes-needle assemblies is disclosed, the invention comprising a cradle for holding the syringe and a hub grip for gripping the hub of a needle affixed to the syringe. The apparatus comprises means for destroying the needle for example, by passing a current through it to soften/melt it, whilst at the same time, applying an axial compressive force to blunt and compress the needle. The hub grip is moveable relative to the cradle so that the needle can be pulled, unscrewed or otherwise detached from the syringe. The apparatus is preferably automated, and thus enables the destroyed needle and syringe to be separated, and therefore disposed of in separate waste streams without manual intervention.

A rotational locking type safety insulin pen needle includes a needle body, intermediate shield, front shield, tail cover and rear spring, wherein: the intermediate shield provides a rotating tube, the tube provides a beveled rail on the outer edge; the front shield provides a bevel acting part on the inner edge; the tail cover provides an elastic leg, the leg provides a front protection stopper; the rotating tube provides a first and second rail slot at intervals along the circumferential direction. The backward movement of the front shield when the needle is pushed to drive the rotation of the rotating tube and uses the coordination of the first and second rail slot on the rotating tube and the rear protection stopper on the tail cover to change the coordination relationship between the tail cover and the rotating tube, which provides the reliable locking protection of the tail cover after use.

One embodiment is directed to a system for injecting, comprising a syringe body defining an interior medicine chamber; a stopper member configured to be inserted into the interior medicine chamber to contain medicine within the medicine chamber; a plunger member configured to be manually manipulated to insert the stopper member relative to the syringe body; and a needle having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end comprising an anchoring geometry configured to be at least partially inserted into the stopper member such that upon retraction of the stopper member, the needle is pulled proximally along with the stopper to be at least partially contained within the interior medicine chamber.

The present disclosure relates to a syringe safety cap and a safety syringe including the same. One aspect of the present disclosure provides a syringe safety cap including a base portion having a mounting portion to be mounted on a cylinder of a syringe, a link portion rotatably connected to the base portion, a first elastic portion configured to provide a rotational force so that the link portion rotates with respect to the base portion, a safety cover portion rotatably connected to the link portion, detachably fixed to the base portion, and configured to, when detached from the base portion and rotating, surround an injection needle of the syringe, and a second elastic portion configured to provide a rotational force so that the safety cover portion rotates with respect to the link portion.

A removal device (121, 221) for removing and disposing of a pen needle (113, 213) connectable to a drug delivery device (111, 211) includes a body (123, 223) having a cavity (141, 241) for receiving the pen needle of the drug delivery device such that a patient end (116, 216) of a needle (115, 215) of the pen needle is covered by the body. An ejector (151, 251) is movably connected to the body (123, 223) for engaging the received pen needle (113, 213) and selectively ejecting the engaged pen needle from the body. The pen needle (113, 213) is securely retained within the removal device (121, 221) without exposing the needle (115, 215) of the pen needle until the pen needle (113, 213) can be properly disposed of, such as in a sharps container, thereby substantially preventing an accidental needle stick.

A needle removing device includes a seat, a driving assembly, a removal assembly and a lift assembly. The driving assembly is disposed on the seat. The removal assembly has one end thereof connected to one end of the driving assembly away from the seat, and includes a needle winding member and a pressing member. The needle winding member is located on one end of the removal assembly away from the driving assembly. The pressing member is connected to the needle winding member. The lift assembly is disposed on the seat. The driving assembly and the removal assembly are movable relative to the seat via the lift assembly. The needle winding member includes a first rod and a second rod, wherein the first rod and the second rod are adjacently spaced to form a disassembly space. The pressing member includes a first elastic element and a second elastic element. The first elastic element is connected to the first rod, the second elastic element is connected to the second rod, and the first elastic element and the second elastic element cause the first rod and the second rod to be inclined close to each other. The first elastic element and the second elastic element cause the first rod and the second rod to clamp the needle, and the first rod and the second rod rotate to wind the needle.

A removal device (121, 221) for removing and disposing of a pen needle (113, 213) connectable to a drug delivery device (111, 211) includes a body (123, 223) having a cavity (141, 241) for receiving the pen needle of the drug delivery device such that a patient end (116, 216) of a needle (115, 215) of the pen needle is covered by the body. An ejector (151, 251) is movably connected to the body (123, 223) for engaging the received pen needle (113, 213) and selectively ejecting the engaged pen needle from the body. The pen needle (113, 213) is securely retained within the removal device (121, 221) without exposing the needle (115, 215) of the pen needle until the pen needle (113, 213) can be properly disposed of, such as in a sharps container, thereby substantially preventing an accidental needle stick.

A reusable needle handling apparatus is described. The needle handling apparatus is configured for receiving at least a portion of a syringe assembly including at least a needle, a needle cap, and a syringe hub. The needle handling apparatus includes a first clamping mechanism having a plurality of pinch rollers. According to an aspect, the pinch rollers are configured to clamp the needle cap, and to automatically unscrew the needle from the syringe hub, so that the needle is safely and automatically removed from the syringe hub.

A multiple carrier injection system (10) comprising an adapter (20) including at least one arm (22), a pen needle assembly (29) including a hub (30) retaining a needle (44), and a bullet (50) having a cover (58) to seal the bullet (50), the bullet (50) enclosing the hub (30) in a first position, wherein the arm (22) engages the adapter (20) to the hub (30), and the arm (22) causes the hub (30) to rotate within the bullet (50) to move the hub (30) into a second position.
