SYRINGE BRACKET WITH A SEAL
A syringe pump includes a syringe bracket fixing a syringe in a syringe channel. The syringe bracket is connected to the syringe pump via a tubular bracket arm and can be pulled out of the syringe pump and locked in the pulled-out position by a catch mechanism so as to insert a syringe into the syringe pump, and after the catch mechanism is released, a spring preload on the bracket arm pulls the syringe bracket back to the syringe pump. The retraction of the bracket arm is damped by a motion damper.
PLUNGER FOR AN INJECTOR, AND INJECTOR
A plunger for an injector to inject an intraocular lens into the capsular bag of an eye has a deformable cushion and a contact surface with a cutout in which an imaginary reference point is arranged. The plunger has two points groups, each having a design point arranged on an outer contour, an inner contour point arranged on an inner contour, and a reference point. For each of the point groups, the distance from the design point to a circle or a closed curve is equal to the distance from the inner contour point to the reference point, the design point, the inner contour point and the reference point lie on a straight line, and the inner contour point lines between the design point and the reference point. The distance from the inner contour point to the reference point is different for at least two of the point groups.
MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE
Described is a medicament delivery device (1), comprising a body (2), a container carrier (7) for retaining a medicament container within the body (2) and being slidably disposed in the body (2), a sleeve (6) slidably coupled to body (2), and a piston rod (11) coupled to the body (2) and the container carrier (7). The piston rod (11) and the container carrier (7) provide a feedback as 10 the container carrier (7) moves from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2) relative to the body (2).
Device activation impact/shock reduction
A drug delivery device includes a container for storing a drug having a longitudinal axis. A plunger rod aligned with the longitudinal axis of the container has a first end and a second end, where the second end is disposed within the container. A stopper is disposed in and movable relative to the container for expelling the drug, and a drive mechanism is operatively coupled to the first end of the plunger rod. The drive mechanism is configured to deliver a drive force to move the plunger rod along the longitudinal axis and through the container. A chamber disposed between a plunger rod and the stopper is adapted to oppose the drive force of the drive mechanism.
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.
DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE HAVING SHOCK ABSORBER
A drug delivery device is provided, including a housing, a drug storage container, a plunger, a plunger biasing member, a releaser, and a shock absorber. The housing defines a longitudinal axis and has an opening. The drug storage container includes a barrel, a stopper, and a delivery member, where the stopper is movably positioned within the barrel. The delivery member is positioned at a distal end of the barrel and has an insertion end configured to extend at least partially through the opening during a delivery state. The plunger is moveable toward the distal end of the drug storage container to engage the stopper and expel a drug from the drug storage container through the delivery member. The plunger biasing member is coupled with the plunger and configured to urge the plunger toward the distal end of the drug storage container. The releaser member has a first position wherein the releaser member prevents the plunger from moving into the delivery state and a second position wherein the releaser member does not prevent the plunger from moving into the delivery state. The shock absorber is configured to absorb an impact force and prevent unintended movement of the releaser member.
Wire and pulley clock mechanism flow regulator
An automatic injection device with flow regulation. The automatic injection device has an insertion needle configured to be inserted into a patient and a drug container which contains a pharmaceutical product and includes a plunger. The automatic injection device also has a fluid path which fluidly connects the drug container to the patient via an insertion needle, a potential energy source, and a regulator configured to restrict release of potential energy and restrict linear movement of the plunger and the pharmaceutical product into the fluid path at a proscribed pace. The regulator includes a clock escapement mechanism and a wire and pulley system including a wire coupled to at least one pulley. The potential energy source may be a spring that surrounds the drug container and may be directly coupled to the plunger and the wire such that movement of the spring and the wire is restricted over time.
Clock mechanism flow regulator
An automatic injection device with flow regulation is disclosed. The automatic injection device has an insertion needle configured to be inserted into a patient and a drug container which contains a pharmaceutical product and includes a plunger. The automatic injection device also has a fluid path which fluidly connects the drug container to the patient via the insertion needle, a potential energy source, and a regulator configured to restrict release of potential energy and restrict linear movement of the plunger and the pharmaceutical product into the fluid path at a proscribed pace. The regulator includes a clock escapement mechanism. The potential energy source may be a spring that surrounds the drug container and may be magnetically coupled to the plunger. The clock escapement mechanism is configured to control the spring at a regulated rate over a time interval using a gearbox and a rotational-to-linear translator comprising a rack and a pinion.
Cellular therapy infusion devices, systems, and methods for use
Cellular therapy infusion devices for the delivery of media including cellular therapies to a patient's tissue, cells, and/or blood include a barrel, a plunger that fits within the barrel, a syringe shaft, and a pressure relief system configured to achieve and/or maintain a desired level of pressure and/or force within the device so that cellular behavior and/or viability is not adversely impacted by the mechanical forces exerted thereon via depressing the plunger into the barrel so the cellular therapy media may be pushed from the barrel into a patient delivery device for administration to the patient. The cellular therapy infusion devices may cooperate with and/or fit into cellular therapy infusion systems designed to create and/or maintain preferred conditions for the cellular therapy media stored in the barrel and automatically administer the cellular therapy media from the cellular therapy infusion device to the patient in a steady, regulated, and/or preferred manner.
DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE HAVING PRESSURIZED VESSEL
A drive system for a drug delivery system includes a pressure chamber, a primary container, and a pressurized fluid. The pressure chamber has an outer surface and an inner surface that defines an interior volume. The primary container also has an outer surface and an inner surface that defines an interior volume to store a medicament to be administered to a user. The primary container is at least partially disposed within the interior volume of the pressure chamber. The pressurized fluid is disposed in the interior volume of the pressure chamber and is pressurized to exert a pressure on at least a portion of the outer surface of the primary container.
