Publication number: 20240024573Abstract: Apparatus and methods for introducing a solid or semi-solid intraocular drug-containing implant into the anterior chamber of an eye are described. The drug-containing implant can be a rod-shaped biodegradable implant that may provide for the extended release of the drug and may be effective for treating a medical condition of the eye. The apparatus is ergonomically designed in the shape or style of a pen with tactile surfaces for easy gripping, a needle-rotation knob to permit orientation of the needle bevel in relation to the eye, and a spring-actuated mechanism for consistent deployment of the implant.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Zoran Novakovic, Rahul Bhagat, Shawn R. Davis, David Mucientes, Michael R. Robinson, Vaclav Vojan, Michael Strehl, Ina Michaelis, Maximilian Vogl, Jessica Kreher

Patent number: 9907490Abstract: A lancing device comprising a lancet holder for holding an exchangeable lancet and comprising a drive element for driving the lancet holder. The drive element has two spring elements comprising a lancing spring element for accelerating the lancet holder in the lancing direction and a restoring spring element for accelerating the lancet holder counter to the lancing direction. The drive element has a carriage unit with a spring-tensioning carriage part and a lancing carriage part, and the spring-tensioning carriage part and the lancing carriage part are arranged to be displaceable in translation relative to one another and form a lancing spring element receiving region and a restoring spring element receiving region. The lancing spring element receiving region can be reduced by translational displacement of the spring-tensioning carriage part relative to the lancing carriage part, in order to pre-tension the lancing spring element within the lancing spring element receiving region.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2012Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Gerresheimer Regensburg GMBHInventors: Julia Volkmuth, Michael Strehl
