摘要:
A contact lens applicator (10) has an elongated housing (12) defining an interior chamber (34) for storing contact lenses (CL), first and second triggers (16, 18) mounted on the housing (12), a depressor (20) for depressing each eyelid where the roller (20) is drivingly coupled to the triggers (16, 18), a pair of opposing wing-shaped members (26) projecting outwardly from opposite sides of the roller (20) for providing a support surface (28) for facilitating locating the apparatus (10) over the eye, and a pusher (40) assembly slidably mounted within the interior chamber (34) for engaging a contact lens holder (75) and applying a contact lens (CL) thereon to the eye when the triggers (16, 18) are actuated. The contact lens (CL) is stored in a cartridge (36) within the housing (12). The lens holder (75) is movable within the cartridge (36) upon actuating the pusher (40), and includes a predetermined amount of saline or other solution for defining appropriate conditions for storing the contact lens (CL).

Disclosed is a uniquely configured medicament vial assembly which includes a storage vial (310), a stopper member (330) and a securing ring (350, 370). The storage vial has a body portion (312) which defines an interior chamber (318) for storing a predetermined medicament and a neck portion through which medicament is received into and withdrawn from the interior chamber. The stopper member (330) is inserted into the mouth of the vial and establishes a first seal. The securing ring (350, 370) is engaged with the mouth of the vial and adapted and configured for retaining the stopper member (330) within the vial mouth and effectuating a second seal.

A resealable cap ( 110, 210 ) for a medicament vial ( 114, 214 ) has a base portion ( 112, 212 ) formed of vulcanized rubber or like material known for providing a stable environment for the medicament contained within the vial, and a resealable portion ( 126, 226 ) overlying the base portion. The resealable portion ( 126, 226 ) is made of low-density polyethylene or like material, and can be punctured by a needle or like injection member ( 140, 282 ) for dispensing medicament into the vial ( 114, 214 ). Prior to filling, the cap ( 110, 210 ) is assembled to the vial ( 114, 214 ) and the cap/vial assembly is sterilized. Then, a needle ( 140, 282 ) is inserted through the cap ( 110, 210 ) and medicament is introduced through the needle and into the vial. Upon withdrawal of the needle ( 140, 282 ), the penetrated region of the cap ( 248 ) is fused by laser ( 276 ) or direct heat sealing ( 264 ) to hermetically seal the needle hole ( 294 ) in the cap.
摘要:
An ophthalmic dispenser has a rigid housing defining a fluid-receiving chamber, a flexible bladder receivable within the fluid-receiving chamber, a pump coupled in fluid communication with the fluid-receiving chamber, and a nozzle having a valve defining an annular, axially extending valve seat, an outlet aperture coupled in fluid communication between the valve seat and the pump, and a flexible valve cover extending about the valve seat and forming an annular, axially-extending interface therebetween. The valve interface is connectable in fluid communication with the outlet aperture, and at least part of the valve cover is movable between (i) a normally closed position with the valve cover engaging the valve seat to close the interface and form a fluid-tight seal therebetween, and (ii) an open position with at least part of the valve cover spaced away from the valve seat in response to pumped fluid flowing through the outlet aperture at a pressure greater than a valve opening pressure to allow the passage of pressurized fluid therebetween. A spring is drivingly connected to the housing and moves at least one of the pump and housing relative to the other to actuate the pump. The rigid housing is mountable within a cartridge which, in turn, is mountable within a dispenser housing including an eyelid depressor and a trigger for simultaneously actuating the eyelid depressor and pump.
