Abstract: This medical device (2) comprises a pre-filled syringe (3) comprising a syringe body (4) and a piston (16) mounted sliding in the syringe body (4), the syringe body (4) and the piston (16) delimiting an internal chamber (17) containing a fluid to be administered; and a package (21) in which the pre-filled syringe (3) is arranged, the package (21) comprising first and second package portions (22, 23) mounted movable relative to each other between a storage configuration in which the first and second package portions (22, 23) prevent the pre-filled syringe (4) from being removed from the package (21), and an open configuration in which the first and second package portions (22, 23) allow the pre-filled syringe (3) to be removed from the package (21), a movement of the first and second package portions (22, 23) from the storage configuration to the open configuration causing the piston (16) to move from a first piston position to a second piston position.

Abstract: A device and method for creating a fluid path are disclosed. A patch pump may include a start button. A force may be applied on a button needle in a force direction, based on activating the start button. A first end of the button needle may puncture a fluid container by moving the button needle from a first button needle position to a second button needle position via the force in the force direction. A second end of the button needle may be positioned underneath a carrier septum contained in a carrier, via the applied force. The carrier may be released based on activating the start button and the second end of the button needle, based on releasing the carrier, may puncture the carrier septum. A fluid path may be provided form the fluid container to a patient's tissue based on puncturing the fluid container and the carrier septum.

Abstract: A fluid flow regulator of a fluid delivery system that can adjust a flow rate of a liquid drug dispensed from a liquid drug container to a user is provided. The fluid flow regulator can be coupled to an end of the liquid drug container. The fluid flow regulator can include a compliance plate and a flow channel selector plate having a fluid flow channel. The flow channel selector plate can be rotated relative to the compliance plate and the liquid drug container to expose a selected portion of the fluid flow channel to openings in the compliance plate that are in fluid communication with the liquid drug stored in the liquid drug container. The selected portion of the fluid flow channel can correspond to a corresponding flow resistance of the liquid drug through the fluid flow channel, thereby regulating the flow of the liquid drug to the user.

Abstract: A device for use with a uterine tamponade balloon catheter apparatus, such as the Bakri postpartum hemorrhage balloon, is disclosed. The device comprises a stylet comprising a hub at its proximal end. The device is configured to be removably coupled to the tamponade balloon catheter apparatus to aid in the insertion and positioning of the tamponade balloon catheter within the uterine cavity, allowing the balloon to function as intended for the control and management of postpartum hemorrhage and uterine bleeding. Methods of use of the device are also disclosed.

Abstract: A single-use medical syringe having a plunger with a sealing element arranged on a distal end of the plunger head to contact the medicament in the syringe body and one or more hollow piercing elements disposed in the interior of the syringe body between a distal surface of the interior and the sealing element of the plunger head, wherein the one or more hollow piercing elements are arranged axially with respect to the syringe and positioned to be driven though the sealing element when the sealing element is driven against the distal surface at the end of the injection operation, wherein, at the end of the injection operation, the one or more hollow piercing elements create a fluid passageway across the plunger head when the one or more hollow piercing elements pierce through the sealing element of the plunger head.

Abstract: A pen needle assembly (10) includes a pen needle (12) with a hub body (16) having a needle shield (28) that covers a needle (26) and can be retracted to expose the needle during injection and return to the extended position after use and locked in the extended position. A spring (56) is provided to rotate the needle shield after use to a locked position. A locking member (84) can be provided on the needle shield that cooperates with the hub body (16) to prevent rotation after use. An attachment mechanism (38) for the pen needle provides a sensory indication when a needle-bearing hub body (16) is seated on a pen and limits further rotation of the pen needle relative to the delivery device.

Abstract: An auto-injector includes a base housing, an ampule, a needle arrangement, at least one drive assembly and a securing assembly which secures the drive assembly in its position with respect to the base housing until activated for the injection procedure. The securing assembly includes a securing cap with a cap jacket, a cap wall and a securing pin arranged inside the cap jacket. Arranged between the securing cap and the base housing is a guide arrangement with a first and a second guide element which define an adjustment path delimited in the axial direction on the side directed away from the distal end. In its release position, the securing cap is still arranged and held on the base housing.
