The present disclosure relates to an injection device for setting and dispensing of a dose of a medicament, the device including an elongated housing to accommodate a cartridge filled with the medicament and sealed with a piston, a piston rod extending along a first axis and being threadedly or slidingly engaged with the housing to apply a distally directed thrust to the piston of the cartridge, a drive member rotationally or threadedly engaged with the piston rod and having a wheel section or geared section, and a drive sleeve extending along a second axis at a radial distance from the first axis and having a geared section to mesh with the wheel section or geared section of the drive member, wherein a first radial distance between first and second axes at a distal end of the drive sleeve differs from a second radial distance between first and second axes at a proximal end of the drive sleeve.

The present invention relates to a torsion spring driven injection device for delivering set doses of a liquid drug. The injection device mechanism is encapsulated in a housing which also stores the cartridge containing the liquid drug. A needle cannula which is in liquid communication with the interior of the cartridge and which has a distal tip is shielded by a telescopically movable needle shield is used to inject the set dose. The needle cannula is preferably used for multiple injections and cleaned between subsequent injections. The drive mechanism further comprises a nut member engaging the piston rod and releasable coupled to the housing to operate as a pressure relief mechanism. The telescopically movable needle shield covering the distal tip of the needle cannula is formed to lock the nut member to the housing during injection.

A hollow cannula (4) including a perforating tip (5) for perforating a perforating site, said perforating tip (5) being provided with an opening (6), said opening (6) defining a peripheral edge (7) that extends around said opening (6) and that includes a distal axial end and a proximal axial end, said distal axial end of said peripheral edge (7) forming the distal axial end (59) of the perforating tip (5), said distal axial end (59) of the perforating tip (5) being arranged on the longitudinal central axis (A) of said cannula (4), said perforating tip (5) having an outer shape that is rounded in the radial direction, and said distal axial end (59) of said perforating tip (5) being of shape that is rounded in the axial direction.

Described herein is an intracameral therapeutic agent delivery device in the form of a pen-injector comprising a cartridge container for dispensing multiple doses of a medicament, coupled to an actuation assembly within a housing. A needle assembly is coupled to the distal end of the cartridge container, provided with a removable cap received within the housing will be in optional pre-sterile or no-sterile condition. Use of such device for the prevention or treatment of ocular conditions or diseases is also disclosed.

Injection device and method for monitoring injection information relating to an injection. A syringe of the device includes a syringe chamber containing an injectant substance. A plunger of the device includes a plunger rod axially displaceable within the syringe chamber. At least one element of the is configured to undergo a corresponding element motion linked to a distal displacement of the plunger rod. A sensor of an electronics unit of the device obtains detection readings relating to the corresponding element motion. An injection is performed by depressing the plunger rod in a distal direction, compelling a corresponding element motion detected by the sensor, and compelling the injectant substance to be injected through a distal end of the syringe chamber. The detection readings relating to the corresponding element motion of the element is processed to determine injection information including at least the volume of injectant substance injected.

The present disclosure is directed to a dose setting mechanism that may be used with a drug delivery device. The dose setting mechanism may include an inner body having a helical thread along an outer cylindrical surface of the inner body, and a drive sleeve for driving a piston rod in an axial direction, the drive sleeve positioned within at least a portion of the inner body. The dose setting mechanism may further include a dose dial sleeve rotatably engaged with the helical thread of the inner body and a dial grip connected to the dose dial sleeve and releasably connected to the drive sleeve. Further when a dose is set, the dial grip is rotated so that both the dose dial sleeve and the drive sleeve rotate with respect to the inner body.

A dosing system for an injection device for dispensing a dose of a product includes a housing having a longitudinal axis, a dose-setting element, a holding element and a coupling sleeve for driving a driving device for dispensing the dose. The dose-setting element, holding element, and coupling sleeve may be accommodated in the housing. To set and correct the dose, the dose-setting element and the coupling sleeve move in the direction of the longitudinal axis relative to the housing, and the coupling sleeve may be held the holding element rotationally fixed by relative to the housing. To dispense the dose, the coupling sleeve may rotate relative to the housing, the dosing system including a guide in the housing, in which guide the holding element may be displaced in the direction of the longitudinal axis relative to the housing and be guided in a rotationally fixed manner relative to the housing.

A prefilled syringe includes a tubular containment body extending along an axis between a front end element and a rear end element, a fixed plug and two sliding plugs. A bypass channel in the initial position of the syringe is between the first two plugs which form, together with a third plug at the end of the syringe plunger, a first containment chamber containing a first liquid substance and a second containment chamber containing a second solid or liquid substance. The fixed plug is in contact with the front end element and is provided with a non-through cavity offset with respect to the axis and facing towards the front end element.

A drug delivery device comprising a rotatable scale drum, a trigger member, an actuation member, a trigger spring acting on the trigger member and being energized by movement of the actuation member, as well as an end-of-dose switch adapted to be actuated by movement of the trigger member. The trigger member is adapted to be arranged in an axially supported position against the action of the energized trigger spring, and released from the axially supported position when the scale drum is rotated from a set position to an end-of-dose position, whereby the trigger member is moved axially by the trigger spring, the end-of-dose switch thereby being actuated.

A drive mechanism suitable for use in drug delivery devices is disclosed. The drive mechanism may be used with injector-type drug delivery devices, such as those permitting a user to set the delivery dose. The drive mechanism may include a housing, a dose dial sleeve, and a drive sleeve. A clutch is configured to permit rotation of the drive sleeve and the dose dial sleeve with respect to the housing when the dose dial sleeve and drive sleeve are coupled through the clutch. Conversely, when the dose dial sleeve and drive sleeve are in a de-coupled state, rotation of the dose dial sleeve with respect to the housing is permitted and rotation of the drive sleeve with respect to the housing is prevented. In the de-coupled state, axial movement of the drive sleeve transfers force in a longitudinal direction for actuation of a drug delivery device.
