Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a first tray member, a second tray member, and a lid. The first tray member has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion defines a first volume, and the second portion defines a second volume configured to receive a medicament container. The second tray member defines a third volume having a sidewall including a retention portion configured to retain an ocular injector within the third volume. The second tray member is coupled within first volume such that the sidewall of the second tray member and a sidewall of the first tray member enclose the ocular injector. The lid is coupled to the first tray member about the first volume, and is constructed from a material formulated to maintain sterility of the first volume.
Abstract:
A cartridge, including a first member that defines an inner volume and a second member disposed therein, is disposed in a housing. A first reservoir is disposed in the inner volume in a position distal to the second member. The first member is partially disposed in a second reservoir, defined by the housing. The second member is configured to be moved from a first position, in which the first reservoir contains a drug and the second reservoir is fluidically isolated from the inner volume, toward a second position, in which the first reservoir and the second reservoir are in fluid communication with the inner volume, such that the second reservoir receives a volume of the drug from the first reservoir. The first member and the second member are collectively moved relative to the second reservoir to expel the volume of the drug from the second reservoir.
