Injection devices for delivering pharmaceutical compositions into the eye are described. Some devices include a resistance component for controllably deploying an injection needle through the eye wall. The resistance component may be disposed on the injector device, or on a portion of the injection device housing, or on a drug reservoir. Some devices may be removably attached to a drug reservoir, for example, through a luer connector. Other devices may comprise internal luer seal for securely connecting a drug conduit of the device to the luer cavity of a drug reservoir. Yet other devices may comprise a priming-enabling element to facilitate the drug priming of a shielded needle. Related methods and systems comprising the devices are also described.

A surgical robotic system includes a robotic arm having an instrument drive unit. The surgical robotic system also includes a surgical instrument that is coupled to the instrument drive unit. The surgical instrument includes a hub assembly with a hub housing and a longitudinal shaft extending from the hub housing. The surgical instrument also includes an end effector that is coupled to a distal end portion of the longitudinal shaft. The end effector includes a container with a composition (e.g., contrast dye or drug). The end effector also includes a needle coupled to the container and a sheath disposed over the needle and longitudinally movable relative to the needle from an extended position in which the needle is enclosed within the sheath to a retracted position in which the needle extends out of the sheath.

An autoinjector includes a housing and a drive chassis arranged linearly moveable within the housing. The drive chassis includes a dispensing limb and a trigger limb. The trigger limb and the dispensing limb are arranged in parallel to one another and are connected to one another at a respective distal end of the dispensing limb and the trigger limb.

An autoinjector basically includes a housing, a pre-filled syringe, a drive chassis, and a needle guard. The pre-filled syringe is mounted in the housing. The drive chassis is configured to move a plunger in the pre-filled syringe to dispense medicament via an urging force from a drive spring. The needle guard is moveable in the housing between a storage state, a dispensing state, and a lock-out state. The needle guard is biased towards an extended position by a lock-out spring. The needle guard selectively engages the housing to establish a frontmost position of the needle guard in the storage state, and an offset position of the needle guard in the lock-out state. The offset position is axially offset from the frontmost position in the distal direction.

Disclosed is a device for the parenteral delivery of a medication, such as a drug. The device includes upper and lower housings in which the upper housing is configured to move relative to the lower housing as a result of application of an external force to permit the user of the device to control the rate at which the drug is administered.

The present invention provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising an antibody that specifically binds to human interleukin-33 (hIL-33). The formulations may contain, in addition to an anti-IL-33 antibody, a buffer, at least one amino acid, at least one sugar, or at least one non-ionic surfactant. The pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention exhibit a substantial degree of antibody stability after storage for several months and after being subjected to thermal and other physical stresses.

An injection device is presented having an outer housing configured to receive a syringe, the syringe containing medicament, a movable stopper, and a needle. A plunger rod moves the stopper and a needle shield moves relative to the outer housing between a needle covering position and a needle exposing position, where the needle exposing position is axially rearward of the needle covering position. The needle shield is biased axially forwardly toward the needle covering position. A locking member is axially moveable in the outer housing from a first axial position to a second axial position in response to forward axial movement of the plunger rod. A locking sleeve is axially movable relative to the outer housing between a non-locking position and a locking position, the locking position being axially rearward of the non-locking position, in which axial movement of the locking sleeve is selectively limited by the locking member when in the second axial position.

The present invention relates to a safety injection needle assembly (100) comprising an injection needle (110) affixed to a hub (120) having a stud (130) and a receiving means (140) for receiving a dental syringe, an inner sheath (150) having a slit (190) to receive the stud (130) for retaining the injection needle (110), and an outer sheath (220) and a cap (240) for housing the inner sheath (150). In addition, a pair of outer studs (170) of the inner sheath (150) complements with an outer sheath inlet (230) and a cap inlet (250) for removably engaged and locked via locking means (210). The slit (190) comprises a plurality of terminal ends (200) for receiving and locking the stud (130) via the locking means (210). Preferably, the safety injection needle assembly (100) comprises a sealing member (260) having two set of indicators (280) for indicating position.

The present specification relates to a drug delivery device including a housing adapted to receive a primary container with a piston, a plunger slidably disposed in the housing and adapted to drive the piston for delivering a medicament, a drive spring pre-loaded between the housing and the plunger so as to urge the plunger in a distal direction, an audible and/or tactile indicator, and a trigger mechanism arranged between the indicator and the plunger. The trigger mechanism is configured to support the indicator in an initial state of the device and during delivery of the medicament and to couple with the plunger to activate the audible and/or tactile indicator at or near an end of delivery.

A needle protection assembly, adapted to protect a tip of a hypodermic needle, comprising a shield adapted, in a protected operative orientation of the needle protection assembly, to shield the tip of the hypodermic needle, a locking element including at least one slot, the slot including at least three surfaces corresponding to three operative orientations of the shield, at least one slot engaging element, functionally associated with the shield, the slot engaging element being disposed within the slot of the locking element and movable relative thereto, between the surfaces, so as to transition the shield between the three operative orientations, and at least one biasing element, adapted for axial biasing of the shield, wherein the three operative orientations include a storage operative orientation, an injection operative orientation, and a needle protection operative orientation.
