Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mixing and injector device which can include: a housing having a plurality of separate and distinct chambers disposed therein; one or more displacement mechanisms corresponding to each of the plurality of chambers disposed within the housing; a needle assembly being provided about one of the plurality of chambers, the needle assembly including the following: a septum; a needle being separated from the plurality of chambers by the septum, the needle having a proximal end configured to pierce the septum in an actuated state; and a needle carrier, the needle carrier being configured to translate axially with respect to and toward the septum and pierce the septum and provide fluid communication from the plurality of chambers through the needle in the actuated state.
Abstract:
Drug delivery device (1) comprising a housing (4) retaining a primary drug delivery assembly (2) for the delivery of a primary medicament with a primary dose setting member configured to rotate in a helical movement to set a dose of the primary medicament and a secondary drug delivery assembly (3) for the delivery of a secondary medicament. A dose dial (12) is movable between a first position and a second position in axial direction and is rotationally constrained with respect to the housing (4) when moved from the first position into the second position and is rotationally constrained to the primary dose setting member in the second position for setting a dose of the primary medicament. A secondary drive sleeve (16) of the secondary drug delivery assembly (2) serves for dispense of the secondary medicament. The dose dial and the secondary drive sleeve can be coupled for dose setting.
Abstract:
A portable auto-injector configured to store a dry medication separately from a liquid component, wherein removal of a cap opens a rotary valve allowing for the initiation of a mixing step prior to injection. An extendable needle guard is provided over the delivery assembly which prevents premature injection as well as inadvertent sticks or other cross contamination of a needle. The needle guard can also form part of a secondary trigger mechanism which injects the reconstituted drug after the mixing stage is complete.
Abstract:
A container and methods for storing and mixing a two-component composition is provided. The container includes a body, a first plug and a second plug. The body has a first end, a second end, and a bypass with a length L disposed between the first and second ends. The first and second plugs are slidably disposed in the body and define a first compartment. A second compartment is disposed in the body between the second plug and the second end. The second plug has a first edge, a second edge, and a plurality of spaced-apart primary conduits extending through the second plug. Each primary conduit has a separate first opening. A distance D extends longitudinally from the first edge to the second edge and a distance E extends longitudinally from the first edge to the first opening that is nearest the first edge. D ≥ L and E
Abstract:
A portable auto-injector configured to store a dry medication separately from a liquid component, wherein removal of a cap operates a first actuation mechanism which opens a valve and thus allows for the initiation of a mixing step prior to injection. An extendable needle guard is provided over the delivery assembly which prevents premature injection as well as inadvertent sticks or other cross contamination of a needle. The needle guard can also form part of a secondary trigger mechanism which injects the mixed components after the mixing stage is complete.
Abstract:
Described herein are laterally connected syringes with an integrated mixing hub and static mixer designed to facilitate mixing two or more substances at specific userselectable ratios.
Abstract:
A device for processing a biological material is disclosed. The device includes a syringe barrel comprising beads, a filter positioned at a close end of the barrel, a plunger insertable into the barrel through an open end, and a needle. The plunger includes a paddle assembly that is configured to mix a biological material with the beads after the biological material has been harvested from a patient.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf die Verwendung einer Spritze (10) zur Injektion einer Wirksubstanz sowie zum Nachinjizieren eines Mediums, umfassend einen zylindrischen Spritzenkörper (18) mit im distalen Bereich vorhandener vorzugsweise in einen Ansatz (16) übergehender Begrenzungswandung (20), zwei in dem Spritzenkörper axial verschiebbare mechanisch verbundene Kolben (24, 26) und ein erstes Betätigungselement (22) zum gemeinsamen Verschieben der Kolben, wobei vor der Injektion der Wirksubstanz der distale Kolben (26) und die Begrenzungswandung (20) ein mit der Wirksubstanz gefülltes erstes Volumen (41) und die Kolben zwischen einander zugewandten Innenflächen ein mit dem Medium gefülltes zweites Volumen (43) begrenzen, wobei die Kolben bei Kraftbeaufschlagung des ersten Betätigungselementes in Richtung der Begrenzungswandung als mechanisch gekoppelte Einheit bis zum Anliegen des distalen Kolbens an der Begrenzungswandung oder einem Anschlag verstellt werden, anschließend bei weiterer axialer Krafteinleitung auf das erste Betätigungselement die mechanische Verbindung zwischen den Kolben selbsttätig derart verändert wird, dass der proximale Kolben in Richtung des distalen Kolbens verstellt wird, wobei bei Verstellen des proximalen Kolbens zu dem distalen Kolben das Medium den distalen Kolben durchsetzt und/oder an diesem vorbeiströmt.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a drug delivery device including a container, such as a cartridge or syringe, and a delivery mechanism of one or more plungers or valves which mix and/or administer substances. The container and/or the valves may be lubricated or frictionally varied in various configurations to allow for appropriate glide force during movement of the plungers in the containers. The valves may include a gas seal region or a self-sealing pinhole.
