  • Patent number: 11660398
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a stopper for an injector for delivery of a pharmaceutical composition and to an injector with the stopper. The stopper has a stopper body with an actuating surface opposite an outlet surface, an axial length between the actuating surface and the outlet surface, and a transverse diameter, which stopper body defines an access diameter, the stopper at an axial location from the actuating surface comprising a deformable sealing element surrounding the stopper body and having an outer diameter, which is larger than the transverse diameter, which deformable sealing element is made from a thermoplastic elastomer and has an axial extension in the range of 5% and 95% of the axial length of the stopper body, and the stopper comprising a cavity at the axial location of the deformable sealing element, the cavity having a lateral extension larger than the access diameter of the stopper body.

  • Patent number: 11213630
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an injector for preventing accidental needle sticks comprising:—a cylinder extending along a longitudinal axis, an inner wall and an outer wall, the cylinder having an outlet at an outlet end opposite an actuating end and a finger grip on the outer wall, which finger grip is positioned between the outlet end and the actuating end,—a piston having a piston body and a deformable sealing element, which deformable sealing element abuts the inner wall of the cylinder at an abutting interface and seals an annular gap between the piston body and the inner wall of the cylinder when the piston is inserted in the cylinder,—a needle guard for mounting on the outside of the cylinder from the outlet end or the actuating end, which needle guard comprises a barrel with a mounting end opposite an operating end, the barrel having a slot for receiving the finger grip of the cylinder when the needle guard is mounted on the cylinder, which slot extends from the mounting end towards the operating

  • Publication number: 20200164152
    Abstract: An injector for delivery of a pharmaceutical composition. The injector includes a cylinder extending along a longitudinal axis, the cylinder having an inner wall, an outer wall, and an outlet at an outlet end opposite an actuating end, a piston assembly comprising a compressible section between an actuating piston element and a passive piston element, which piston elements abut the inner wall of the cylinder at abutting interfaces thereby sealing the compressible section when the piston assembly is inserted in the cylinder, the compressible section comprising a compressible fluid and a resilient frame linking the actuating piston element to the passive piston element. The injector is suited for pre-filled injectors allowing long term storage of protein based pharmaceutical compositions.
