The present disclosure relates to a body arrangement for a drug delivery device, comprising at least one deployable body part arranged to be moved from a compact state into a deployed state, wherein the body part in the deployed state provides an enlarged grip area compared to the compact state.

An orientation independent delivery device. The delivery device includes a gas chamber, a delivery chamber, a gas cell, and a delivery aperture. The gas chamber includes a gas-side rigid portion and a gas-side flexible barrier. The gas-side flexible barrier is sealed to the gas-side rigid portion. The delivery chamber includes a delivery-side rigid portion and a delivery-side flexible barrier. The delivery-side flexible barrier is sealed to the delivery-side rigid portion and is oriented adjacent to the gas-side flexible barrier. The gas cell is coupled to the gas-side rigid portion of the gas chamber. The gas cell increases a gas pressure within the gas chamber to expand the gas-side flexible barrier. Expansion of the gas-side flexible barrier applies a compressive force to the delivery-side flexible barrier allowing a delivery material to escape from the delivery chamber.

Dry powder inhalers and dry powder inhaler storage cassettes including a compartment housing an elongate carrier preloaded with a plurality of doses of finely divided powder comprising a biologically active substance, the compartment being configured such that said preloaded doses are sealed within said compartment and such that the carrier may be advanced from the compartment to the chamber through an exit provided with a moisture barrier sealing system, wherein the moisture barrier sealing system is configured and arranged such that it is relaxable during advancement of the carrier, said sealing system being in sealing configuration prior to an advancement of the carrier, relaxed upon an advancement of the carrier and returned to its sealing configuration at the latest after release of the powder associated with said area of the carrier.

An injection device suitable for use with infants is disclosed. The injection device is formed from a body shield member and a cylindrical handle. The body shield member includes a concave flange at the base, which is pressed against the patient's limb and reduces local compression at the needle insertion site. The injection device also has a softer form and operates through a pressing motion. A catch member is located in the cylindrical handle, and is deployed upon fully depressing the handle. Once the handle returns to its starting position, the catch member prevents the handle from being depressed a second time and permitting the used needle to be exposed.

The disclosure describes powder inhalers and dry powder inhaler storage cassettes that include a compartment housing an elongate carrier preloaded with a plurality of doses of finely divided powder comprising a biologically active substance. The compartment is configured such that the preloaded doses are sealed within the compartment and such that the carrier may be advanced from the compartment to the chamber through an exit provided with a moisture barrier sealing system. The moisture barrier sealing system is configured and arranged such that it is relaxable during advancement of the carrier. The sealing system is in sealing configuration prior to an advancement of the carrier, is relaxed upon an advancement of the carrier and is returned to its sealing configuration at the latest after release of the powder associated with the area of the carrier.

An assembly of the present invention for a syringe includes a piercing needle-attached barrel having a barrel body and a hollow piercing needle fixed to the barrel body and a seal cap for sealing a piercing needle tip. The seal cap has a hollow part and a pierceable part into which the piercing needle tip inserted into the hollow part can be pierced. The seal cap is water vapor permeable and placed in a state in which the piercing needle tip has been pierced into the pierceable part. At least the pierceable part of the seal cap is formed of an elastic material containing silicone rubber as a main material thereof, silicone particles, and a lubricant.

An improved dry-powder inhalation device having a casing having an air inlet located at a first terminus; a powder delivery port located at a second terminus, which is positioned distal to the air inlet; and an elongated support panel located within an interior of the casing and being fitted within the casing so as to partially rotate therein about a single axis. The casing has at least one compartment containing dry-powder located proximally to the second terminus, and the support panel has a plurality of needle-like structures located proximal to the delivery port and arranged opposite the dry-powder compartment. The compartment with a dry-powder includes a cover encasing the dry-powder, whereby airflow through the device causes the elongated support panel to partially rotate repeatedly within the casing, whereby the plurality of needle-like structures strike the covered compartment, causing the dry-powder to be released into the airflow.

The present disclosure relates to a housing of a drug delivery device, the housing comprising: a first housing component comprising a first connecting end provided with a fastening element, the first housing component configured to accommodate a medicament container, the medicament container comprising a mechanical coding and an alignment element, a second housing component comprising a second connecting end provided with a counter fastening element complementary shaped to the fastening element, the second connecting end being connectable to the first connecting end, a counter alignment element complementary shaped to the alignment element and provided in or on the first housing component, a mechanical counter coding provided in or on the second housing component, wherein when the mechanical coding does not match the mechanical counter coding, the mechanical coding and the mechanical counter coding being operable to prevent an engagement of the fastening element with the counter fastening element.

A transdermal delivery apparatus for delivering specific desired quantities of cream-base medicament or any flowable composition is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a revolving platform, a threaded screw-complex, a house, an applicator pad, and a safety cap. The revolving platform produces audible and tactile sensations upon interaction with projections from the house. The threaded screw-complex interacts with an elevator to transport the medicament upwards. The house confines an inner chamber to store the medicament. The applicator pad comprises a center outlet where the composition exits the chamber.

Described herein are injection devices capable of automatically injecting substances into the soft tissue of a patient. The devices can inject low to high viscosity materials at predetermined, user selected injection rates, allowing the operator more control than a traditional syringe. The devices can allow mixing of more than one substance and/or reconstitution of a solid substance for injection. The injection devices described herein can allow the operator to easily inject one or more low to high viscosity liquid or gel soft-tissue augmentation fillers, one or more drugs, one or more other biocompatible materials, or combinations thereof.
