Publication number: 20150328412Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: November 19, 2015Applicant: BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: James Bates, Robert Banik, Abhijitsinh S. Raj, Joshua Herr, Joseph Brizzolara, Amit Limaye

Publication number: 20150328370Abstract: A medical device such as a cannula, catheter, needle or biosensing probe includes an elongated body for penetrating, inserting and/or positioning in or through the skin of a patient. The elongated body has an outer surface that when positioned in the patient with a coefficient of friction sufficient to inhibit movement between the elongated body on the skin at the insertion site to inhibit irritation at the infusion site. A lubricious coating is provided on the elongated body to assist in penetration and/or insertion of the elongated body into the patient. The lubricious coating can be removed by a shearing action by the insertion of the elongated body into the patient and/or by absorption of the lubricious coating to expose the outer surface of the elongated member.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2012Publication date: November 19, 2015Applicant: BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: James Petisce, Nathaniel McCaffrey, Amit Limaye

Patent number: 9078977Abstract: A dual shield mechanism provides passive protection of a syringe cannula. The automatic shield system may be used with a re-fillable syringe, and may be adapted for filling the syringe from a vial using a novel vial adapter without triggering the passive shielding mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2013Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: James Bates, Peter Skutnik, Amit Limaye

Publication number: 20150157807Abstract: The subject invention provides a safety pen needle assembly which includes: a hub; a needle carrier; a needle fixed to the needle carrier; a shield; and, a first engageable locking arrangement for fixing the shield to the needle carrier. Upon a predetermined extent of distal movement of the shield relative to the hub, the first locking arrangement is engaged such that the shield becomes fixed to the needle carrier. Upon further distal movement of the shield relative to the hub beyond the predetermined extent of distal movement, the shield and the needle carrier move in concert together relative to the hub causing a proximal end of the needle to move distally relative to the hub to a retracted state. Advantageously, the subject invention provides a reliable, low-cost safety pen needle assembly which does not require a spring or other biasing element.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2014Publication date: June 11, 2015Inventors: Sudarsan Srinivasan, Amit Limaye, Michael DiBiasi, Sean Sullivan

Publication number: 20150088067Abstract: A syringe is provided with an assembly received on the distal end for adjusting the penetration depth. In embodiments, the assembly includes a collar attached to the syringe hub which moves with respect to the needle between axial positions depending on the desired needle penetration depth. The adjustable penetration depth syringe is useful in the context of self-administered drugs such as insulin, where a longer length needle is needed to fill a syringe from a vial, but a shorter penetration depth is preferred for administering a subcutaneous injection.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2013Publication date: March 26, 2015Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Amit LIMAYE, Sudarsan SRINIVASAN, Todd ANDREONI, Edward J. ROSEN, Howard GOLD

Publication number: 20150073384Abstract: An injection device is provided for delivering a liquid medicament. The injection device includes a housing with a first chamber for storing a supply of the medicament. The first and second chambers are coupled within the housing. The second chamber is in fluid communication with the first chamber. The injection device also includes an outlet port for dispensing the medicament outside the housing. The outlet port is coupled to the housing and in fluid communication with one of said first and second chambers.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2013Publication date: March 12, 2015Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventor: Amit Limaye

Publication number: 20140165999Abstract: An aerosol generation system having an aerosol generator wherein a liquid formulation is at least partially volatilized in a capillary passage and discharged from the capillary passage to form an aerosol. The aerosol generation system includes a pumping unit adapted to supply a liquid formulation to the aerosol generator; and a fluidic element located between the pumping unit and the capillary passage of the aerosol generator, wherein the fluidic element increases backpressure of the liquid formulation as the liquid formulation enters the capillary passage of the aerosol generator.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: Philip Morris USA Inc.Inventors: Niranjan Maharajh, Gene Faison, Sudarsan Srinivasan, David Ammann, Donald Brookman, Amit Limaye, Ronald Formosa
