A storage device (30) for storing a pen needle assembly (10) includes a housing (30) having first wells (44) with a dimension for receiving the pen needle assembly and second wells (46) for receiving an inner shield (24) of the pen needle assembly. The second wells (46) have a diameter less than a diameter of the first wells (44). An ejector (40) in the housing (34) can be actuated to eject the used needle hub (16) and outer covers (22) from the first well (44) and the inner shield (24) from the second well (46) for disposal. A method of coupling a pen needle delivery device to a needle hub positions a needle hub assembly (18) in the first well (44) and inserts the coupling end of the delivery device (10) into the first well (44) and is coupled to the needle hub. The needle hub is pulled from the outer cover (22). The inner shield (24) is inserted into the second well (46) to remove the inner shield from the needle hub.

An injection device comprising a housing and a cap at a distal end of the housing, the cap comprising: an outer member; an intermediate member disposed within the outer member, at least one of the intermediate member or outer member being rotatable relative to the other of the intermediate member or outer member; and, an inner member disposed within the intermediate member, and coupled to at least one of the outer member and the intermediate member, the inner member being configured to engage a needle shield in the housing. The injection device further comprises a lifting mechanism to reduce a force required to remove the cap from the housing, the lifting mechanism comprising at least one axially-inclined portion in engagement with at least one lifting portion such that rotational movement of the outer member or intermediate member is converted into an axial movement of the inner member from the housing.

A medical instrument holder includes a base block configured to removably mount to a placement surface, and has prongs extending therefrom. A receiving block formed of soft and resiliently flexible material, such as an elastomeric foam, may be impaled on the prongs. A medical instrument (such as a syringe or scalpel) may be inserted into the receiving block, thereby effectively removably holding the medical instrument with respect to the placement surface. The receiving block may be discarded after use, and replaced with another receiving block for subsequent use. The holder is particularly useful for receiving the cap of a hypodermic syringe within the receiving block, allowing the syringe to be held in a ready-to-use location, and allowing one-handed removal of the syringe from the cap grasped by the receiving block.

The present disclosure relates to a cap assembly for a medicament delivery device, having a cap containing a tubular body provided with a distal opening, the cap being configured to be mounted to a proximal end of a medicament delivery device, a tubular remover configured to be received in the distal opening of the cap, the remover having flexible radially inwards extending grippers configured to engage with a delivery member shield, and a tubular remover insert configured to be received by the remover and configured to be fixedly attached to the cap to prevent axial displacement of the remover insert relative to the cap, wherein the remover is axially displaceable relative to the cap and relative to the remover insert, from a first position in which the grippers are pressed radially outwards by an outer surface of the remover insert, to a second position located distally relative to the first position, in which second position the grippers are arranged distally beyond the outer surface of the remover insert, enabling the grippers to flex radially inwards to allow engagement with a delivery member shield.

A storage device (30) for storing a pen needle assembly (10) includes a housing (30) having first wells (44) with a dimension for receiving the pen needle assembly and second wells (46) for receiving an inner shield (24) of the pen needle assembly. The second wells (46) have a diameter less than a diameter of the first wells (44). An ejector (40) in the housing (34) can be actuated to eject the used needle hub (16) and outer covers (22) from the first well (44) and the inner shield (24) from the second well (46) for disposal. A method of coupling a pen needle delivery device to a needle hub is also provided.

A pen needle assembly apparatus includes a tray (34), a movable clamping assembly (36) for gripping a pen needle assembly (18), and an actuator assembly (38). The tray (34) has a top end (42), a bottom end (40), and an inner cavity for storing used pen needle assemblies. The clamping assembly (36) in one embodiment includes at least one movable clamping member (48) that is movable between a first position where the clamping member engage and grip the outer cover (22) of the pen needle assembly (18) so that the needle hub (16) can be separated from the outer cover (22) and placed back in the outer cover (22) after use of the pen needle. The actuator assembly (38) is connected to the movable clamping member (48) where movement of the actuator releases the movable clamping member to move to the open positon and release the outer cover of the pen needle assembly. The base (32) of the apparatus can include an opening for engaging the inner shield (24) of the pen needle assembly to assist in removing the inner shield (24) from the needle hub (16).

A needle shield remover for removing a needle shield from a syringe. The needle shield remover comprises a receiving means to receive at least part of the needle shield, removing means to detach the needle shield from the syringe whilst it is present in the receiving means; and retaining means to temporarily retain the needle shield in the receiving means after removal of the syringe. Temporarily retaining the needle shield in the needle shield remover allows the needle shield remover to be reused. Additionally, by retaining the needle shield the needle shield remover prevents the needle shield from being lost or dropped on the floor when it is not retained within the needle shield.

A cap remover for removing a cap covering a needle of a medical injector includes a body having an insertion portion at its proximal end configured to at least partially accommodate the cap, and a grabbing portion at its distal end having an internal cavity which includes an extraction member having a series of laminas extending radially and inwardly from a ring.

A casing is described for shielding a hypodermic needle. The casing has a protective rigid housing comprised of a first open end, rigid side walls and a second closed end distal from the first open end. The first open end of the housing includes a first cylindrical inner cavity, configured to receive a first end of a hypodermic needle supported by a needle mounting assembly. The second closed end of the housing includes a cylindrical end portion, the cylindrical end portion having a second cylindrical inner cavity with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the first cylindrical inner cavity, the second cylindrical inner cavity is configured to receive a second injection sharp end of a hypodermic needle, distal to a needle mounting assembly when the needle mounting assembly is received in the first cylindrical cavity. An outer wall of the cylindrical end portion further comprises a fixing mechanism for engagement with a clamping mechanism within a container. The fixing mechanism comprises at least one slot in an outer wall of the cylindrical end portion, extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the first and second cylindrical end portions, the slot being configured for engagement with a clamping mechanism.

A device for safe and easy removal of a rigid needle shield from a syringe, said device comprising a wall with an inner and an outer surface, the inner surface of the wall defining a tubular hollow portion along the longitudinal axis of the a rigid needle shield, said inner wall comprising a recess adapted to receive a compressible gasket movable within said recess along said longitudinal axis from a portion of the recess wherein said gasket is in a relatively uncompressed state to a portion of said recess wherein said gasket is in a relatively compressed state compared to the relatively uncompressed state, wherein said recess is arranged so that the gasket grips the rigid needle shield in the compressed state.
