Publication number: 20230088439Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of preparing a medical solution. In some aspects, the medical solution can be prepared from mixing a first liquid with a second liquid or mixing a solid component with a liquid in an autoinjector. In some aspects, the heat released from the mixing can promote solubility of a dry medicament in the solution.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: Windgap Medical, Inc.Inventors: Brent A. Buchine, Adam R. Standley, Christopher J. Stepanian

Patent number: 11007320Abstract: 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 between a first and second chamber that are slidably movable relative to each other 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Windgap Medical, Inc.Inventors: Adam R. Standley, Christopher J. Stepanian, Cole Constantineau, Michel Bruehwiler, Brent Buchine, Jeffrey Thomas Chagnon, Robert Brik

Publication number: 20200139048Abstract: A portable dual chamber auto-injector configured to store a dry opioid antagonist medicament separately from a liquid component, wherein a user actuated mixing system comprising a movable component to create a fluidic pathway between the first and second chambers and release a portion of energy from a pre-stored energy to drive a displacement mechanism into the first chamber and displace the liquid component into the second chamber and solubilize the opioid antagonist. A needle assembly in fluid communication with the second chamber can be used to transfer the solubilized opioid antagonist.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2019Publication date: May 7, 2020Applicant: Windgap Medical, Inc.Inventors: Brent Buchine, Adam R.
