NEEDLE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

The present invention suppresses the formation of a pocket in a wall of a puncture route when a dull needle is moved forward along the puncture route. In order to achieve such aim, the invention provides a needle to be inserted into a puncture route extending from skin to a blood vessel under the skin to puncture the blood vessel, wherein: the needle is formed in a tubular shape and has an inclined end face at a tip of the needle, the inclined end face being inclined relative to an axis of the needle, a tip end of the inclined end face defining an unsharp edge; the needle has a flexibility of needle elastic modulus nE=1-900 Nmm as defined by an equation to be set forth below; a material of the needle is a resin; and the needle is manufactured by injection molding using a ring-shaped gate.

DISPOSABLE NEEDLE REMOVER AND RECEPTACLE
20220379042 · 2022-12-01 ·

A device for capturing syringe needles and storing the same includes an upper lid portion mounted tightly onto the lower box portion through an inter-lock system on the opposing sides of the device, and a breaking-twisting mechanism. There is a vertical cylinder inside the upper lid which is centered and sits on a rainbow-like anvil embedded in the lower box. The overall configuration to break a used needle is to insert the syringe needle through the vertical cylinder to hit onto the anvil where the needle is bended, twisted and finally broken off from the syringe through rotating the syringe. The broken needle falls down to the bottom of the lower box under gravity and magnetic force, and is retained there.

Safe Syringe Device
20220362486 · 2022-11-17 ·

The present invention relates to a novel safety syringe device. The device is a medication distribution system equipped with a bendable needle. The device comprises a syringe featuring a button-activated, bendable needle that can bend inwards toward the syringe after use. Further, the bent needle fits flush against the side of the syringe, inside a small, guided chamber. This allows a user to safely re-cap and discard a needle while eliminating the possibility of puncturing themselves with the needle.

Anti-C5 antibody dispensing injector and method of injection

An injector includes an injector housing, an activation button assembly movably mounted to the injector housing and operatively connected to the injection needle, and a cartridge door movably mounted to the injector housing between an open position and a closed position. A deflectable interference member engaging the rear end flange of the cartridge has a resting position configured to limit an insertion depth of a cartridge into an interior channel of the cartridge door to a sealed position, wherein the cartridge piercing needle does not fully penetrate a pierceable septum of the cartridge. The cartridge door includes an interior channel having a cartridge mounted therein. The cartridge includes a substance to be dispensed. The substance includes an anti-C5 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, and optionally further includes a recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme. A method of treating a complement associated condition using an injector thereof. A method of dispensing a substance from an injector thereof.

Smart injection devices record and transfer data including medicine level, delivered dose, dose confirmation, and dose time and date. Additional data captured may include glucose concentration, insulin level, carbohydrates ingested, stress level, exercise, blood pressure, and glucose high and low excursion events. Various means of data collection and analysis are provided and systems can identify and flag patients who require intervention. Smart sleeves and add sensing capability to standard insulin pens. Pen needles are provided with sensing capability to confirm and measure doses delivered by insulin pen. A two-part pen cap include a primary sleeve that connects to the insulin pen and an end cap that provides for capturing the time of dose delivery, and monitoring the hold time for a dose delivery after plunger movement.

SYRINGE WITH SAFE DISPOSAL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION IMPROVEMENT STRUCTURE
20220233787 · 2022-07-28 ·

A syringe with a safe disposal structure and a function improvement structure is proposed. In the syringe, a locking protrusion protrudes on a needle safety protector main body, and a cover has a locking protrusion insertion groove, so that the cover is tightly locked alongside a barrel of a syringe assembly as the cover is pushed rearward while the locking protrusion and the locking protrusion insertion groove are engaged together. Accordingly, the injection is performed in a stable state without the obstruction of the shaking cover, and after the injection is completed, the syringe assembly is held by one hand and the cover of the needle safety protector is pressed against a surface such as a wall surface or a floor surface, so that the cover is bent around “V”-shaped bending grooves of the cover and the injection needle held in the cover is also bent, thereby preventing the reuse of the syringe.

NEEDLE HARVESTING DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS

A suturing system including an elongate distal member and an elongate proximal member proximal the elongate distal member, the elongate proximal member having a lumen. A needle deployment actuator extends to the elongate distal member and is configured to initiate proximal movement of a needle toward an opening of the elongate proximal member. A guide is disposed within the elongate proximal member, a perimeter of the guide forming a plurality of needle receiving gaps that, when viewed in cross-section, are circumferentially spaced about the deployment actuator with a portion of the guide disposed between adjacent needle receiving gaps extending outwardly towards a wall of the lumen of the elongate proximal member.

MEDICAL INJECTION DEVICE WITH A CLEANING CHAMBER

The invention relates to an injection device for injecting a liquid drug. The injection device comprises a housing assembly supporting a non-removable cartridge having an interior chamber containing the liquid drug to be injected and a reusable needle cannula connected to the cartridge. A needle shield assembly provided with a cleaning chamber containing a volume of a cleaning agent for cleaning at least the distal tip of the needle cannula between subsequent injections is further provided. The needle shield assembly is axially movable in a proximal direction in relation to the housing assembly from a first position to a second position upon rotation of at least a part of the needle shield assembly, wherein the first position is a position in which the distal tip of the needle cannula is located inside the cleaning chamber thereby cleansing the distal tip of the needle cannula, and the second position is a position in which the distal tip of the needle cannula is located outside and distal to the cleaning chamber for equalizing the pressure in the cartridge.
