Publication number: 20200324052Abstract: Low cost insulin injection syringes (20) are disclosed in which the low cost is achieved by separating the syringe into two types of components, namely, durable components that do not contact the fluid path and can be reused, and disposable or single-use components that contact the fluid path and are not reused. The ability to reuse the durable components reduces the effective per-unit cost of the syringe when multiple syringes are used. Since these components do not contact the fluid path, sterility is not affected. The disposal burden is also reduced because not all of the syringe components need to be disposed of each time a syringe is used. Two different syringe components—a reusable outer sleeve (24) containing scale markings (44) for the syringe, and a reusable syringe plunger (32)—are provided as durable components in embodiments of the present invention. Syringes (20) manufactured according to the present invention can employ one or both of these durable components.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: October 15, 2020Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Amit Limaye, Giridhar Shamsunder, Raghavendranath Ravindranath, Amit Kumar

Publication number: 20200222639Abstract: Induction heating from an induction coil (108) is used to separate a metal medical sharp (144) from its holder (142) by applying a high-frequency oscillating magnetic field that excites eddy currents and resistance heating in the sharp. The heated metal sharp melts the adhesive or plastic securing the sharp to its holder. The use of induction heating is advantageous in that it does not require direct contact between the electrical circuit and the sharp or its holder. The heating can also act to sterilize the sharp and thereby render it less hazardous at the same time that it separates the sharp from its holder. The induction coil can have a stepped or conical shape to concentrate the RF energy at the interface between the metal sharp and its holder.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2018Publication date: July 16, 2020Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Amit Limaye, David Schiff, Todd Zielinski, Nick McGill, Marian Marys, Glenn Smolfinger

The apparatus also includes a first biasing member (130) disposed within the body, and a user interface (136) coupled to the collet and configured to displace the collet away from the receiving unit, actuate the first biasing member to increase a bias on the collet toward the receiving unit, and actuate the heating unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2018Publication date: July 16, 2020Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Amit Limaye, David Schiff, Eric Chang

Patent number: 10350371Abstract: A pen needle is provided with a plastic non-patient end. Since the non-patient end needle does not contact the patient, the needle can be formed with a larger diameter, permitting more secure attachment to a medication pen and greater medication flow from the cartridge through the cannula. In addition, a two-part hub construction comprising a needle bearing sub assembly and an adapter for attachment to the pen body may be used to lower materials volume and costs, and reduce sharps disposal. In embodiments, a hub according to the invention may be provided with a shield that provides an audible and/or tactile indication when full penetration depth of the needle is achieved. Windows on the shield may reveal a color band on the hub at the full-penetration depth position to provide the user with a visual indication that the pen needle has been used.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: James Bates, Robert Banik, Abhijitsinh S.
