In certain embodiments, a vial adaptor for removing liquid contents from a vial comprises a piercing member and a bag. The bag can be contained within the piercing member such that the bag is introduced to the vial when the vial adaptor is coupled with the vial. In some embodiments, the bag expands within the vial as liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, thereby regulating pressure within the vial. In other embodiments, a vial comprises a bag for regulating pressure within the vial as liquid is removed therefrom. In some embodiments, a vial adaptor is coupled with the vial in order to remove the liquid. In some embodiments, as the liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, the bag expands within the vial, and in other embodiments, the bag contracts within the vial.

A portable modular assistive device for storing, measuring, drawing and administering liquid injectable medication or other fluids from a vial and syringe, specifically to insulin for consumers and medical professionals in homes, while traveling and in medical facilities, having means to allow users to quickly, securely, easily and accurately measure and draw the desired amount of insulin and then administer the medication. The device is a portable syringe guide and vial holder comprising a horizontal elongated stabilizer made of rigid light-weight material with high tolerance and low friction, a rigid liquid medication vial protector at one end; a rigid movable syringe carriage with an opening on the top side to firmly hold the assembled syringe and needle to perfectly align the needle to the center section of the rubber top of the vial; a flexible expandable color-coded security strap; a flexible expandable color-coded resistance spacer ring, a removeable adjustable magnifier and calibrator bar, a rigid end cap at the other end of the horizontal stabilizer, with said holder having means to allow users to transport said holder in a pocket or pouch without risk of spillage from the vial, dislodging the components or damage to the vial, needle or syringe. Thus, a considerably more versatile, cost-effective, durable and efficient syringe guide and vial holder is provided that can accommodate a plurality of syringe and needle sizes as well as various liquid medications and other fluids in vials in the first embodiment as well as in other embodiments with ease of tracking quantities, contents, sizes and locations of a variety of vials, syringes and needles.

A topical applicator of the propel/repel type includes a reservoir, an attachable applicator cap, and a metered dosing system. The reservoir is suitable for mixing a topical formulation of multiple constituents using an electronic mortar and pestle and is closed using the applicator cap. Alternatively, the reservoir may be prefilled with a ready-to-use cream and medicament formulation, then sealed with a removable seal. The topical applicator can also include a one-way ratcheting feature to prevent reverse movement (repel) of the metered dosing system. Metered doses can be dispensed through holes in the applicator cap by rotating a knob, which has detent positions that correspond to discrete doses, and which provides audible and tactile feedback.
