SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESISTANCE-DEPENDENT, SELF-REGULATED MEDICAL PENETRATION

A system for delivering an injection of a fluid into a void within a subject is disclosed. A barrel extends from a first end to a second end and forms a lumen extending from the first end to the second end. A plug and a floating seal are arranged within the lumen. A hollow needle includes a distal end with an opening for fluid to flow from the lumen. The plug, the barrel and the floating seal include material and dimensions selected based on a threshold flowrate for a fluid arranged within the lumen to: overcome a force opposed to a force being applied to the fluid in the lumen to move the floating seal and the hollow needle into a tissue of the subject, and succumb to the opposing force to displace the fluid through the opening into the void.

DRUG INJECTION APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS

The disclosure relates to systems, methods and apparatus of storing, transporting, mixing, and injecting a drug as a solution, and in some embodiments, to a drug injection apparatus and system intended for use in mixing on demand a drug with a liquid, such as water, in a premeasured quantity and dosage, and injecting the drug mixture using an integrated hypodermic needle assembly. Also provided are methods of using such apparatus and systems.

AN INJECTION DEVICE FOR DELIVERING A LIQUID DRUG
20230008805 · 2023-01-12 ·

The invention relates to a pre-filled injection device with a non-removable cartridge embedded in the housing structure and wherein the piston rod drive mechanism comprises a threaded piston rod which is moved helically in a nut secured to the housing structure. During assembly of the injection device it is possible to eliminate the air-gap between the plunger in the cartridge and the piston rod means by moving the nut element for the drive mechanism axially during assembly. In an alternative solution, the piston rod comprises a telescopic element which can slide axially in relation to the piston rod to obtain the zero position.

Auto-Injector

An auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament (M) is presented having an elongate case arranged to be held by a user, a tubular chassis telescoped in the case and biased against the case so as to protrude from the case. The injector also includes 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. A trigger button is distally arranged in or on the case, wherein the trigger button is initially coupled to the case in a manner to protrude distally from the case and interlocked to the chassis in a manner preventing the trigger button from disengaging the case.

Injection Device Having Variable Dosing

An injection device for injecting medicament in a patient comprises a housing configured to house a fluid reservoir that has one of a plurality of volumes of medicament. An injection conduit fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir defines a fluid pathway from the fluid reservoir to the patient. A firing mechanism is coupled to the fluid reservoir and is configured to expel the medicament from the fluid reservoir through the injection conduit. A volume setting mechanism is coupled to the firing mechanism and is configured to select the one of the plurality of volumes of medicament for the firing mechanism to expel. A dose setting mechanism is configured to select all or a fraction of the one of the plurality of volumes of medicament that is injected from the injection conduit when the firing mechanism is actuated.
