Medicine injecting tip, hand piece, and skin treating device
Provided are a medicine injecting tip, which injects a medicine into a hole in a skin formed by a needle while invading the needle to a preset depth of a deep portion of the skin, a hand piece equipped with the medicine injecting tip, and a skin treatment device using the medicine injecting tip. The medicine injecting tip includes a cylinder, a plunger that reciprocates downward and upward, and has a first space and a second space formed inside the cylinder, and a needle disposed in the plunger and disposed in the second space of the cylinder. The needle is inserted into a skin and a negative pressure state is formed in the second space when the plunger moves downward, and the needle is discharged from the skin and a positive pressure state is formed in the second space, when the plunger moves upward.
Medical Agent Dispensing Apparatuses, Systems, and Methods
An example agent administration device may comprise a housing. The device may further comprise a sharp assembly including a delivery sharp. The sharp assembly may be reciprocally displaceable along a guide channel of the housing. The device may further comprise an access port in fluid communication with the delivery sharp. The device may further comprise an actuation assembly configured drive the sharp assembly, via urging of a single bias member, from a storage state in which the delivery sharp is within the housing, through a first extended position in which the delivery sharp extends a maximum distance from the housing and to a partially retracted position in which the delivery sharp extends a lesser distance from the housing.
Medical Agent Dispensing Systems, Methods, and Apparatuses
A medical agent delivery device may comprise a collapsible reservoir and a base portion including at least one microneedle on a first face and on an opposing second face. Each microneedle on the first face may fluidically communicate with a microneedle on the second face. The device may further comprise an elastomeric housing attached to the first face. The reservoir and the at least one microneedle on the first face of the base portion may be within the elastomeric housing. The device may further comprise a displaceable spacer having a first position in which the spacer supports the reservoir in spaced relation to the at least one microneedle on the first side of the base portion. When the spacer is in a second position, the elastomeric housing may be configured to press the reservoir into the at least one microneedle on the first side of the base portion.
PEN NEEDLE EXCHANGE SYSTEM
An electronic system (200) connectable to a medication delivery pen (4) and a needle assembly (2, 102), the electronic system (200) exchanging data regarding a medicament traveling from the medication delivery pen (4) to the needle assembly (2, 102), the electronic system (200) comprising a hub (202) having a spike (204) that is configured to engage the medication delivery pen (4) and pierce a reservoir septum of the medication delivery pen (4), a flow sensor (220) that is in fluid communication with the hub (202) to measure flow data of the medicament, a circuit board (250) electrically contacting the flow sensor (220) to process and transmit the flow data, the circuit board (250) including a fluid path hole (254) to route a flow of medicament, and a septum body (270, 284) that is configured to provide fluid communication between the flow sensor (220) and one of a plurality of needles (40, 124) of the needle assembly (2, 102) to administer the medicament to a patient.
Medicament delivery device
A medicament delivery device includes a main injection needle for injecting a medicament into the body of a patient. The medicament delivery device includes a pain reduction device for releasing a pain reduction agent into the body of the patient prior the medicament injection. The pain reduction device includes an array of microneedles.
Pen needle magazine
An attachable needle assembly (2) is disclosed for use on a medication delivery pen (4). The needle assembly (2) includes a housing (8) enclosing a hub (12) that is configured to engage the medication delivery pen (4), a plurality of needles (18) configured to pierce a reservoir septum (6) of the medication delivery pen (4), a selection ring insert (30) that rotates and identifies which needle (24) of the plurality of needles (18) is to be selected, and a selection ring (36) that applies a force to expose the selected needle (24). When the housing (8) is in a first position, the plurality of needles (18) is not exposed, and when the housing (8) is in a second position, one of the plurality of needles (24) is exposed for medicament delivery.
HYPODERMIC DEVICE WITH AN ARRAY OF HYPODERMIC NEEDLES
A hypodermic device is disclosed comprising a chamber, an array of hypodermic needles and a threaded Luer lock connector. The chamber comprises a distal outer surface and a proximal outer surface. The array of hypodermic needles projects outward from the distal outer surface of the chamber. Each hypodermic needle comprises a bore extending from a receiving end of the hypodermic needle to a delivery end of the hypodermic needle along a longitudinal axis. The bore in each of the hypodermic needles is in fluid communication with a hollow space in the chamber. The threaded Luer lock connector is in fluid communication with an opening at the proximal outer surface of the chamber. A first end of the threaded Luer lock connector is connected to the proximal outer surface of the chamber.
MICRONEEDLE PATCHES FOR TRANSDERMAL DELIVERY
Embodiment provided herein are directed to microneedle patches for agent application on a mammal skin. The microneedle patch may comprise a patch scaffold having a surface, and a plurality of microneedles disposed on the surface. Each of the microneedles may be capable of piercing the skin 50 μm to 1000 μm deep, and comprises a composite material comprising polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and one or more additional copolymers selected from the group consisting of maltose, leucine, and dileucine.
METHODS, COMPOSITIONS, AND DEVICES FOR DRUG / LIVE CELL MICROARRAYS
This invention discloses methods and composition to form biodegradable polymer implant arrays in the live tissue. Artificial cavities are created in the live tissue by using laser ablation, oscillating needle, microneedle array and other methods. The cavities are then filled with biodegradable polymer solution. The solvent in the polymer solution is dissipated in the tissue to form a biodegradable polymer implant in artificial cavities. The cavities and implants formed are arranged to form of an array of implants. The biodegradable polymer in the cavity can also be loaded with drug to form biodegradable drug delivery array in the live tissue.
