MULTIPLE CONDITION DOSING SYSTEM
A medicine dispensing device and system for administering a selected drug. The medicine dispensing device includes a vessel configured to retain a drug to be dispensed. The medicine dispensing device may comprise a first series of zones of varying widths on a surface of the vessel, with each zone of the first series of zones corresponding to a pre-determined dose of the drug for a first medical condition wherein the first series of zones are correlated to a first series of values of a physical characteristic of a patient; and a second series of zones of varying widths on the surface of the vessel, with each zone of the second series of zones corresponding to a pre-determined dose of the drug for a second medical condition wherein the second series of zones are correlated to a second series of values of the physical characteristic of a patient.
DRIVE MECHANISM FOR AN INJECTION DEVICE
The disclosure relates to an injection device for expelling of a number of preset or user-selectable doses of a medicament. The injection device includes an elongated housing extending along an axial direction and configured to accommodate a cartridge containing the medicament and having a bung sealing a proximal end of the cartridge, a windup expelling mechanism, and a dose setting mechanism. The dose setting mechanism includes a handle, a dose tracking member, and a limiter. The dose tracking member is rotatable relative to the housing within a range of positional states and operatively connectable to the handle for tracking a rotation thereof. The limiter is operationally engageable with the dose tracking member and a trigger of the windup expelling mechanism for blocking actuation of the trigger when the dose tracking member is in one of a number of predetermined sections of the range of positional states.
Drive mechanisms suitable for use in drug delivery devices
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.

Assembly for a drug delivery device
An assembly includes a clutch member and a drive member movable relative to one another between a first relative position and a second relative position, in the first relative position, the clutch member and/or the drive member is rotatable relative to a housing, in the second relative position, the deflectable feature is arranged to prevent rotation of the clutch member and/or of the drive member relative to the housing, and wherein the deflectable feature and the interaction feature are arranged such that, when the clutch member and the drive member are moved relative to one another from the first relative position into the second relative position, the deflectable feature and the interaction feature mechanically interact in order to deflect the deflectable feature.
AUTO-INJECTOR SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING CYST MEDICATION ON DEMAND
An auto-injector device including a syringe, a needle arranged in the vicinity of a first end of the syringe, and a plunger arranged within the syringe. A volume within the syringe between the plunger the needle accommodates medicine, such that movement of the plunger toward the needle dispenses medicine through the needle. A selection assembly configurable by a user to adjust an amount of medicine dispensed by the auto-injector device and depth to which the medicine is delivered. Also, a method for treating a skin lesion or skin disorder utilizing the auto-injector and a kit for patient administered treatment.
Injection device with flexible dose selection
An injection device incorporating a dose setting mechanism is presented where the dose setting mechanism contains a dose selector having one or more dose stops corresponding to a finite set of predetermined fixed doses, where the set of finite predetermined fixed doses includes a lowest fixed dose and one or more higher fixed doses, and where at least one of the one or more higher fixed doses is equal to the lowest fixed dose plus a fractional amount of the lowest fixed dose. The dose setting mechanism can further include a floating spline that is rotationally engaged with a snap element such that the snap element can rotate relative to the floating spline during both dose setting and dose delivery.
Assisted Injection Device for Selectively Injecting a Composition Contained in a Medical Container
The present disclosure relates to an assisted injection device for injecting a composition contained in a medical container. The injection device includes a main body adapted to receive a medical container in a fixed position relative to the main body. The main body includes an inner wall part and a second part. The first part includes an inner spring-loaded piston rod, and an outer piston body extending coaxially around the inner spring-loaded piston rod. The second part is arranged between the inner spring-loaded piston rod and the outer piston body, and is provided of the piston. The actuator is adapted to selectively move the second part between the proximal first portion and the distal second position.
Assisted Injection Device for Injecting a Composition Contained in a Medical Container
The present disclosure relates to an assisted injection device for injecting a composition contained in a medical container. The injection device includes a body configured to receive the medical container in a fixed position relative to the body. The injection device includes a spring-loaded piston rod translationally movable inside the body along a spring axis. The injection device includes a lever pivotably mounted on the body about a first pivot axis orthogonal to the spring axis at a first distance form the spring axis. The injection device includes a selective blocking system coupled to the lever by a second pivot axis orthogonal to the spring axis. The lever is pivotable between a rest position. The selective blocking system engages the piston rod to prevent any translation movement of the piston rod and a second position wherein the selective blocking system releases the piston rod.
Delivery device
The present invention relates to a delivery device for delivering predetermined amounts of fluid, comprising a body (10), a container (16) filled with fluid to be delivered arranged inside said body, said container comprising an opening for expelling said fluid and a wall (18) movable inside said container (16), a threaded plunger rod (46) arranged movable inside said body (10) in the longitudinal direction and in contact with said movable wall (18), a manually operated push means (14, 60) movable in the longitudinal direction capable of, upon operation, move said plunger rod (46) towards said movable wall (18), thereby expelling fluid, and means for transforming a generally linear movement of said push means (14, 60) to a rotational movement of said plunger rod (46).
