Abstract: Described herein is a medication crushing, grinding, and administering device generally adapted to transform a solid pharmaceutical into a powered form for dissolving into a fluid within a syringe body. The device includes a plunger portion including the working portion of the device in the form of a blade generally extending from the plunger portion and configured for rotation. The rotating blade manipulated within an interior of the syringe body for generally breaking apart a pill within the syringe body for dispersal into a solution for administering.

Abstract: A valve clutch that has a central member extending along a central axis and includes a drive coupler that receives a driving torque. A coupling member is provided that includes coupling pins extending parallel to the central axis. A valve is rotatably disposed around the central axis between inlet and outlet positions. A sleeve is configured to rotationally engage the valve, the sleeve including at least one clamping member. The valve clutch is reversibly changeable between (1) an unengaged configuration wherein a driving torque received by the central member is not transmitted to the sleeve member, and (2) an engaged configuration wherein the at least one coupling pin is clamped between the central member and the at least one clamping member, thereby transmitting the driving torque that is received by the central member via the sleeve member to the valve member.

Abstract: An automatic medication injection device including a driver (95), a retractor (190, 230) and a blocking member (180). Upon device triggering the driver is shifted proximally to move a device syringe, expel medication from the syringe0, and then to disengage itself from the syringe plunger. The driver and the blocking member have a complementary camming configuration by which the blocking member, during the driver shifting, is automatically rotated from a first rotational orientation to a second rotational orientation. The blocking member blocks retraction of the retractor when disposed in the first rotational orientation, and permits retraction of the retractor when disposed in the second rotational orientation, which retractor retraction withdraws the device syringe from an injecting position to a retracted position.

Abstract: An injection device comprising: a housing arranged to contain a liquid medicament or a medicament cartridge; an electrical coil arranged around an inner surface or an outer surface of the housing; an electricity storage apparatus electrically connected to the electrical coil; and a magnet arranged to be movable axially within a defined space with respect to the electrical coil, such that electrical voltage is induced in the electrical coil and a current is generated to charge the electricity storage apparatus.

Abstract: Medical systems are disclosed which may include an elongate shaft member and a plurality of steering lines operable to cause bending of the elongate shaft member via movement of at least one of the steering lines. A respective second end portion of a first proximal steering line may terminate at a first proximal termination portion of the elongate shaft member, and a respective second end portion of the first distal steering line may terminate at a first distal termination portion of the elongate shaft member. The elongate shaft member may be formed of materials of different hardness to provide preferential bending in desired directions.

Abstract: A medicament delivery device having a housing, arranged to accommodate a medicament container and a power unit, where the power unit has a plunger rod, a drive spring, operably arranged to act on the plunger rod and on said medicament container, an actuator having holding elements that can releasably hold the plunger rod with said drive spring in a tensioned state, and an actuator sleeve operably connected to said actuator for releasably locking said holding elements in a holding state. The medicament delivery device also can have a medicament delivery member guard slidably movable in said housing that can act on said actuator sleeve for setting said holding elements with said actuator sleeve in a first activation state; an activator unit arranged to be manually operated and which is operably connected to said plunger rod for setting said holding elements with said actuator sleeve in a second activation state.
