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.

An apparatus includes a housing coupled to a medicament container, which is coupled to a needle. An injection assembly is disposed within the housing and includes an energy storage member and an actuation rod. A distal end portion of the actuation rod is disposed within the medicament container. The energy storage member can produce a force on a proximal end portion of the actuation rod sufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container. This can convey at least a portion of a substance from the medicament container via the needle when a distal tip of the needle is disposed within a first region of a target location. The force is insufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container when the distal tip of the needle is disposed within a second region of the target location.

A needle system (10) comprises a needle arrangement and an actuator device (30). The needle arrangement comprises needle (21) and a rod (24). The needle has a proximal end (211) and a distal end (212) and a needle opening (203) at the distal end of the needle. The rod has a proximal end (221) and a distal end (222) and a length that is greater than the length of the needle. The rod comprises an elongated rod shaft portion (26) configured to fit inside the needle and a rod tip portion (23) located at the distal end of the rod. The actuator device comprises an actuator body (39) comprising a cavity (33) and a first opening (61) configured to interface with a fluid transportation device (70) to allow fluid into and/or out of the cavity and thereby allowing fluid to be injected and/or aspirated through the needle. The needle system has a closed state and an open state. The rod tip portion seals, or blocks, the needle opening in the closed state, and the rod tip portion is shifted forward relative to the needle and unseals, or unblocks, the needle opening in the open state. The proximal end of the needle is connected to the actuator body and the proximal end of the needle is open to the cavity. The rod is configured to interact with the actuator device such that at a change of volume of the cavity, a force is exerted on the rod in a distal direction, setting the needle arrangement in the open state.

A drug injection device is disclosed. A drug injection device, according to the present invention, comprises: an injection unit which is provided with an ampoule accommodation portion for accommodating an ampoule that contains an injectable solution, and injects the injectable solution into a person being operated on; and an injection speed adjustment unit which is connected to the injection unit, applies pressure to the injectable solution, and adjusts the injection speed of the injectable solution, being injected into the body of the person being operated on, by selectively adjusting the speed of the pressure applied to the injectable solution, wherein the injection speed adjustment unit comprises: an injection unit attachment portion to which the ampoule accommodation portion is detachably attached; a pressurizing plunger which is connected to the ampoule accommodated in the ampoule accommodation portion and applies pressure to the injectable solution; and a pressurizing plunger up/down driving module which is provided on the same axis as the pressurizing plunger and drives the pressurizing plunger up or down.

A computer-controlled injector for use with a medicament cartridge and including a housing having a medicament cartridge receiving volume and a medicament cartridge insertion and removal opening communicating with the medicament cartridge receiving volume; a pivot mount element mounted onto the housing for selectably enabling access to the medicament cartridge receiving volume via the opening; a mechanical latch selectably locking the pivot mount element in a closed operative orientation; and an injection drive mechanism including a computer-controlled motor for driving a piston, forming part of the medicament cartridge, for injecting a medicament, the computer-controlled motor also being operative for operating the mechanical latch.

A needle-free connector assembly is provided that includes a main housing coupled to an indicator housing. A plunger is coupled to a bellows disposed in the main housing. An inlet port is disposed at an upstream end of the indicator housing and an outlet port is disposed at a downstream end of the main housing, with a valve disposed within the indicator housing and adjacent the inlet port. A switch member is slidingly disposed in the main housing, wherein the needle-free connector assembly provides both flow regulation and pressure indication when the switch member is in a downstream position and only pressure indication when the switch member is in an upstream position. Infusion sets and methods of operating a needle-free connector are also provided.

An injector device comprising: an outer housing for receiving a medicament container; and a drive mechanism for dispensing medicament from a medicament container received in the outer housing. The drive mechanism comprises a plunger rod and a displacing member configured to displace a distal end of the plunger rod into said medicament container to dispense said medicament. The device further comprises a brake configured to slow the rate of displacement of the plunger rod under the force of the displacing member.

A system for modulating delivery of a fluid medium includes an injector for injecting the fluid medium during an injection cycle, a delivery catheter including a conduit for delivering the fluid medium, a manifold disposed in a fluid medium flow path between the injector and the delivery catheter, and a pulsatile generator. The pulsatile generator is configured to apply a pulsatile force to the fluid medium defined by a plurality of duty cycles during the injection cycle, each of the duty cycles including a first pressure level and a second pressure level that is lower than the first pressure level.

An apparatus includes a housing coupled to a medicament container, which is coupled to a needle. An injection assembly is disposed within the housing and includes an energy storage member and an actuation rod. A distal end portion of the actuation rod is disposed within the medicament container. The energy storage member can produce a force on a proximal end portion of the actuation rod sufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container. This can convey at least a portion of a substance from the medicament container via the needle when a distal tip of the needle is disposed within a first region of a target location. The force is insufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container when the distal tip of the needle is disposed within a second region of the target location.

Delivery systems and methods for forming and delivering biomaterials from two components are described herein. In particular, apparatus and methods for performing controlled delivery of multicomponent delivery of biomaterials into or onto a body part, such as a body lumen are described. More specifically, in some embodiments, the apparatus and methods are directed towards controlled delivery of micro-volumes of biomaterials into or onto a target location, the micro-volumes being defined as 0.001 mL-1 mL (or 1 μL-1,000 μL) of volume.
