20220143325 · 2022-05-12 ·

A safety needle (10) and a safety needle device (1). The safety needle device (1) comprises the safety needle (10), an outer protective cover (60), and a sealing membrane (70). The outer protective cover (60) cooperates with the sealing membrane (70) to seal and package the safety needle (10). The safety needle (10) comprises a needle sleeve housing (20), a syringe assembly holder (40), a needle (30), and an elastic safety cover (50). The syringe assembly holder (40) is provided at a rear end of the needle sleeve housing (20). The needle (30) is movably provided inside the needle sleeve housing (20) and the syringe assembly holder (40). The elastic safety cover (50) is provided in the needle sleeve housing (20) so as to be capable of rotating and extending and retracting. A non-return guide slot (23) having a non-return elastic plate (235) in the needle sleeve housing (20) guides a needle sheath elastic engagement component (55) of a needle sheath (51) of the elastic safety cover (50) such that the elastic safety cover (50) can extend and retract in an axial direction of the needle sleeve housing (20) and control the timing of the extension of the needle (30) outside the elastic safety cover (50). After use, the elastic safety cover (50) covering an outer side of the needle (30) can be stopped and locked in the needle sleeve housing (20) by the non-return elastic plate (235) such that the safety needle (10) cannot be used again, thus ensuring safety of use.

NEEDLE COVER

A single-use cover assembly that obscures a substantial majority or an entirety of an injection needle from view before, during, and after an injection procedure. The cover assembly includes a housing and a needle sleeve that retracts and extends by sliding axially within the housing. The needle sleeve carries a locking collar that moves from a first position to a second position once the needle sleeve is fully retracted. In the first position the locking collar allows retraction of the needle sleeve from a fully extended position. In the second position, a portion of the locking collar covers a tip of the needle, thereby preventing retraction of the needle sleeve from the fully extended position.

The needle shield comprises an annular flange adapted to rest on the skin of the patient receiving an injection. The retention and locking means (M) are arranged at a distal end of the safety device.

Cap assembly for medicament delivery device
11311682 · 2022-04-26 · ·

The present disclosure relates to a cap assembly for a medicament delivery device. The cap assembly comprises: a cap body arranged to be mounted to a proximal end of a medicament delivery device for protecting and for removing a medicament delivery member shield. The cap body has an inner cap structure defining a channel extending along the central axis of the cap body, and a gripping member configured to be received in the channel. The gripping member is radially flexible and has a first leg, a second leg, and a connecting portion extending between the first leg and the second leg. The first leg and the second leg each has a proximal portion that is radially flexible and extends distally from the connecting portion. Each proximal portion has an inclined section extending radially inwards in an axial direction away from the connecting portion. Each of the first leg and the second leg has a distal portion extending from the inclined section, the distal portions being radially flexible and extending radially outwards in an axial direction away from the proximal portions to allow the gripping member to receive a medicament delivery member shield between the distal portions. The gripping member and an inner wall of the channel are configured to engage to retain the gripping member in the inner cap structure. Each distal portion is provided with a medicament delivery member shield gripper configured to engage with a medicament delivery member shield when the gripping member engages with the inner wall of the channel and the gripping member has received a medicament delivery member shield causing the proximal portions and the distal portions to flex radially inwards.

Needle Assembly and Method
20230302231 · 2023-09-28 ·

A needle assembly is provided having a needle cannula, a hub, and a pair of opposed radially outwardly extending paddles. The needle cannula has a proximal end and a distal end with a puncture tip. The hub has a proximal end and a distal end. The hub supports the needle cannula at a distal end. A twist fitting connector is provided at the proximal end. The pair of opposed radially outwardly extending paddles each have a digit pad configured on the hub in an anatomically preferential position when the needle is affixed to a syringe with the connector. In use, a user palm-grasps a barrel of the syringe so as to point the puncture tip away from a user when receiving at least one digit on at least one of the digit pads during mating and demating from the syringe. A method is also provided.

A cartridge for use with a beneficial agent delivery device having a fillable reservoir. The cartridge includes a reconstitution, unit dose package having first and second compartments and a fitment. The first compartment contains at least a first constituent of the beneficial agent. The second compartment contains at least a second constituent of the beneficial agent. The fitment is disposed on the package for interfacing the package to the fillable reservoir.

Needle shroud assembly and drug delivery device
11759578 · 2023-09-19 · ·

Needle shroud assemblies comprising a needle shroud and a support component. At least one of the needle shroud assemblies includes: a shroud body having an inner surface forming a cavity; a shroud beam arranged on the shroud body and biased radially outwards, wherein the support component is arranged on the inner surface of the shroud body and configured to form an inner radial support surface for the shroud body and/or for the shroud beam.

Drug delivery device with restricted cap replacement

The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device that has a housing and a cap. The drug delivery device also has a lock that prevents the cap being fully replaced on the housing after the cap has been removed.

Pen needle assembly having an outer cover

A needle hub assembly for coupling to a pen needle delivery device includes an outer cover having a first well receiving the needle hub and inner shield covering a cannula of the needle hub. A second well is spaced from the first well and receives the inner shield. In use, the pen delivery device is coupled to the connecting end of the needle hub to withdraw the needle hub and inner shield from the first well. The inner shield is inserted into the second well where the inner shield is gripped so that the inner shield can be separated from the needle hub without the user handling the outer cover or the inner shield. After use, the needle hub is inserted into the first well and the pen needle delivery device is separated from the needle hub. The needle hub is retained within the first well where the outer cover containing the used needle hub and inner shield can be discarded as a single unit.
