The invention relates to a device (IO) for manually inserting a plunger-type stopper into a syringe cylinder, comprising a receptacle (18) designed to hold the syringe cylinder; a tubular barrel (30) designed to accommodate the plunger-type stopper in its interior, a holding device (28) designed to hold the barrel, and a moving device (40, 42, 44, 46, 48) designed to move the plunger-type stopper; the holding device (28) having an actuation portion (34) for moving the barrel (30) relative to the plunger-type stopper. The present invention further relates to a corresponding method.

An injector device for the percutaneous injection of fluids, such as medications, is disclosed. The device can have a mobile phone case. The mobile phone case can hold an auto-injector cartridge having a trigger, spring-loaded needle and reservoir holding a medication such as epinephrine or insulin. The device mobile phone case can communicate injection data to the phone. The phone can communicate the injection data to an emergency service provider.

The present disclosure relates to a dispenser. Specifically, the dispenser comprises a housing and a stop member fixedly positioned in the housing configured to receive at least a portion of a container and an actuator engagable by a user, whereby contents of the container are released.

A handheld injection device (10) comprising an needle cannula, a reservoir configured for containing a liquid drug to be dispensed, a piston, a trigger button (22), an elongated, hollow outer housing (20) in which the reservoir is positioned, the needle cannula being in liquid communication with the reservoir and extending from one end of the housing, wherein the injection device further comprises a drive mechanism comprising a spring or a resilient member, the spring or a resilient member being configured to provide a driving force when the trigger button is pressed allowing the piston to be advanced by the drive mechanism thus causing a dose of the liquid drug to be dispensed, wherein the handheld injection device comprises a variable friction system being adapted to apply a variable counter force leveling out the driving force.

A multi-chamber syringe for delivering a plurality of fluids to a central venous catheter includes a barrel and a plunger. The barrel includes a plurality of chambers, and a first one of the plurality of chambers has a predefined volume of a saline flush stored therein. Actuation of the plunger causes the predefined volume of the saline flush to be dispensed from the barrel into the central venous catheter.

A plunger rod system for syringes is provided. The system comprises at least one plunger and an associated rod for imparting force to the plunger. The rod comprises an end with a threaded member, and the threaded member comprises threads of a certain geometry that enable ease of installation of the rod within the plunger while also providing resistance to pull-out forces such as may be imparted when pulling or extracting the rod or plunger from a barrel.

The present invention relates to an inhaler which is appropriate for delivery of medicament in dry powder form used in respiratory diseases, particularly in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In addition, the present invention relates to an inhaler which includes a blister package appropriate for carrying the medicament in dry powder form and used to realize an effective inhalation.

A plunger, a needle assembly and a retractable syringe comprising same are provided. The plunger comprises a plunger member and a plunger outer having a lock spring that prevents or impedes movement of the plunger member after needle retraction. The plunger further comprises another locking member for engaging the barrel to prevent or impede further movement of the plunger outer after delivery of fluid contents. The plunger member has a plunger seal which engages a retractable needle of the needle assembly for retraction. The retractable needle comprises a cannula and needle body with a plurality of fluid channels that co-operate with a fluid conduit of the plunger seal to efficiently direct fluid to the cannula. A needle retainer comprises a plurality of barbed arms releasably coupled to the needle body, whereby an ejector with tabs facilitates release of the retractable needle from the needle retainer to allow compressed spring-driven retraction.

An orientation independent delivery device. The delivery device includes a gas chamber, a delivery chamber, a gas cell, and a delivery aperture. The gas chamber includes a gas-side rigid portion and a gas-side flexible barrier. The gas-side flexible barrier is sealed to the gas-side rigid portion. The delivery chamber includes a delivery-side rigid portion and a delivery-side flexible barrier. The delivery-side flexible barrier is sealed to the delivery-side rigid portion and is oriented adjacent to the gas-side flexible barrier. The gas cell is coupled to the gas-side rigid portion of the gas chamber. The gas cell increases a gas pressure within the gas chamber to expand the gas-side flexible barrier. Expansion of the gas-side flexible barrier applies a compressive force to the delivery-side flexible barrier allowing a delivery material to escape from the delivery chamber.

The present disclosure relates to a body arrangement for a drug delivery device, comprising at least one deployable body part arranged to be moved from a compact state into a deployed state, wherein the body part in the deployed state provides an enlarged grip area compared to the compact state.
