Publication number: 20240033492Abstract: A layered microneedle device can have successively stacked layers that each include microneedles and perforations positioned between the microneedles. The layers can be stacked to permit microneedles of a lower layer to extend through the perforations of an upper layer. Thus, microneedles of successively stacked layers can extend away from individual layers in a common direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: Allergan, Inc.Inventors: Justin J. Schwab, Michael Augarten, Zachary Dominguez, Ethan Franklin, Edwin J. Kayda, Jason Metzner

Patent number: 10987503Abstract: A skin treatment can include applying a microneedle device to a region of the skin so that microneedles of the device penetrate the stratum corneum. The arrangement of microneedles can have first microneedles with a first length and second microneedles with a second length, different from the first length. The first and second microneedles can be formed from a mixture of a polymeric material and an active agent beneficial to skin. After the device is applied to the skin, the first and second microneedles can be released below the skin surface, followed by dissolution of the first and second microneedles.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: ALLERGAN, INC.Inventors: Justin J. Schwab, Michael Augarten, Zachary Dominguez, Ethan Franklin, Edwin J. Kayda, Jason Metzner

Patent number: 8882655Abstract: An implantable injection port comprises a base. A first gear is coupled to the base, and a first anchor is coupled to the first gear. A second gear is coupled to the base, and a second anchor is coupled to the second gear. A top portion of the injection port is spaced apart from the base of the port and has a first plurality of top teeth that engage with a first plurality of gear teeth on the first gear. This engagement occurs prior to rotation of the second gear. The top portion rotates, which causes rotation of the first gear, which in turn causes movement of the first anchor through the anchor opening of the base and into the tissue of the patient. The first gear and the second gear rotate non-simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2013Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Apollo Endosurgery, Inc.Inventors: Greg Nitka, Edwin J. Kayda
