MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE
A medicament delivery device is presented having a front-end device with a front-end housing and a delivery member cover that moves along a longitudinal axis between an extended position and a retracted position relative to the front-end housing, and a medicament container holder arranged in the front-end housing that receives a medicament container; and a reusable base device that is detachably connected to the front-end device, the base device has a plunger, a motor to drive the plunger inside the front-end housing, and wherein the motor drives the plunger from a second end position back to an initial end position, and a motor switch having a first switch position that changes to a default switch position by displacement of the delivery member cover when the delivery member cover is moved back from a retracted position to an extended position causing the motor to rotate in a reverse direction and drive the plunger from the second end position to the initial end position.
NEEDLE UNIT WITH FLOATING NEEDLE HUB
The present invention provides a needle unit (10) for use with a pen injection device, wherein the needle unit (10) comprises a needle shield (50) and an axially movable needle hub (25).
Auto-injector
An auto-injector includes a chassis and a carrier subassembly. The carrier subassembly includes a carrier arranged inside a case, a drive spring, a plunger comprising a ramp member, the plunger configured to be pushed in a proximal direction by the drive spring, and a ramp attached to the carrier, wherein the ramp member on the plunger in an initial state is locked to the ramp on the carrier to form a ramped engagement to the carrier, the plunger prevented from rotating out of the ramped engagement depending on a relative longitudinal position of the carrier relative to the chassis, wherein the plunger is arranged to be released and to rotate out of the ramped engagement upon the carrier translating a pre-defined distance in a proximal direction relative to the chassis.
Safety syringe
An apparatus for use with a syringe for providing a safety syringe, the safety syringe including a plunger configured during an inward stroke to expel a substance from a hypodermic needle attached at an open end of a barrel of the syringe, the apparatus including: a biasing member configured to bias a sheath towards a closed position at least partially covering the hypodermic needle, wherein the biasing member is configured to be released at a point on the inward stroke of the plunger to urge the sheath towards the closed position.
SAFE EJECTION INTRAVENOUS NEEDLE
An ejection-type safety intravenous needle includes a sheath, a hub, a cannula fixed on the hub, and a base. An accommodation cavity is formed in the base. The hub is fixed in the accommodation cavity, and the cannula is exposed outside of the accommodation cavity. The sheath encloses the cannula, and a bottom of the sheath is located in the accommodation cavity and provided with a first limiting structure. A second limiting structure cooperating with the first limiting structure is provided at a top of the accommodation cavity. An elastic element is provided in the accommodation cavity, and the elastic element abuts against a bottom end of the sheath. A top and a bottom of the base are provided with a first clamping structure and a second clamping structure, respectively. A third clamping structure cooperating with the first clamping structure and the second clamping structure is provided on the sheath.
Substance dispensing device with signaling device
Device for dispensing a substance having: a dispensing element through which the substance can be dispensed, a displaceable protective element for the dispensing element, a drive element that is coupled with the protective element and a feedback element which can generate a signal when or after a predefined quantity or the entire quantity of the substance to be dispensed has been dispensed characterized in that the feedback device is coupled with the drive element.
AUTO-INJECTOR
An auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament includes an elongate tubular case and a carrier subassembly including a tubular carrier slidably arranged inside the case. The carrier is adapted to contain a syringe with a hollow injection needle, a drive spring, and a plunger for forwarding load of the drive spring to a stopper of the syringe, wherein the syringe is lockable for joint axial translation with the carrier, wherein the drive spring acts between the carrier and the plunger, wherein the plunger, in an initial state, is locked to the carrier by a ramped engagement to the carrier and by being prevented from rotating out of this ramped engagement, depending on a relative longitudinal position of the carrier in the case, and wherein the plunger is arranged to be released for rotating out of the ramped engagement.
SUPPORT STRUCTURE
A support structure for a medicament container is disclosed that is arranged to accommodate an elongated plunger rod, where the support structure has at least one flexible element arranged to be moved in contact with, and to exert a force, on a distal end surface of the medicament container, wherein the at least one flexible element is provided with a contact member arranged to contact an outer surface of the plunger rod and to be moved out of contact with the plunger rod when moved in contact with the medicament container.
AUTOINJECTOR, METHOD OF ACTIVATING AN AUTOINJECTOR AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING AN AUTOINJECTOR
An autoinjector includes a pre-filled syringe arranged within a housing of the autoinjector, a needle shield covering a needle of the pre-filled syringe in a storage state of the autoinjector, an axially moveable needle guard arranged to cover the needle of the pre-filled syringe at least after use of the autoinjector and to move relative to the pre-filled syringe during use of the autoinjector, and a removable cap in which the needle guard is stored in the storage state of the autoinjector, Upon removal of the cap, the needle shield is also removed from the autoinjector.
Drug injection device with visual and audio indicators
A drug injection device (10) including a housing (12) for holding a container (20) having a needle (24) for penetrating skin and a plunger (42) for expelling a drug stored in the container. The device includes visual and/or audible indicators for indicating that the correct depth of needle penetration has been achieved and that drug injection/extrusion has been started and/or completed. The device may further include a label (140) for visually confirming the quality of the drug contained therein. Alternatively, a tray (110) may be provided for receiving the drug injection device, which allows the quality of the drug contained therein to be visually confirmed.
