Patent number: 9149581Abstract: Injection devices are disclosed for injections of substances. The disclosed devices separately may hold two separate substances, e.g., solid, liquid or gas substances, in separate compartments which are interrupted so that the separate substances come into contact during the activation of the device. One disclosed device includes a needle for injection and two substances that are mixed with only a few actions by the operator of the device. The device may or may not activate mixing by the removal of a sleeve which triggers compartment interaction through movement of pins, pegs, springs, wires, string, or other mechanisms which allow the materials held in separate chambers to come into contact with each other. Operator error during mixing and checking the dosage of substances to be injected is avoided with the disclosed devices. Also, the needle is maintained in a sterile state because the needle is held internally of the device until the sleeve is removed and the device begins to activate.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2010Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: GlucaGo LLCInventors: Rush L. Bartlett, II, Arthur L. Chlebowski, Peter M. Greco, Jr., Zachary R. Gosnell, Jared L. West, Barry J. Davignon

Patent number: 9125995Abstract: A one-part reconstitution device is described, for temporarily separating two substances into two compartments within a cartridge or syringe and allowing for mixture of the two substances within the cartridge or syringe. In various embodiments, the one-part reconstitution device may include an outer, contact portion configured to contact an inner surface of the cartridge or syringe, and an inner, deflection portion positioned within the contact portion. The deflection portion may be movable from a locked position, in which the deflection portion causes the contact portion to exert a first radial force against the inner surface, to an unlocked position, in which the deflection portion causes the contact portion to exert a second radial force against the inner surface. The second radial force may be less than the first radial force, and the contact portion and the deflection portion may comprise one part.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2013Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: GlucaGo LLCInventors: Rush L. Bartlett, II, Peter M. Greco, Jr., Barry J. Davignon

Publication number: 20150141913Abstract: An apparatus comprises a plunger able to fit in a cartridge or syringe. The plunger includes an outer portion and a deflection portion. The outer portion is able to engage the body of the cartridge or syringe. The outer portion is operable to apply a first radial force to the cartridge or syringe. The deflection portion is positioned within the outer portion and is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The deflection portion in the unlocked position causes the outer portion to apply a second radial force to the cartridge or syringe.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2013Publication date: May 21, 2015Inventors: Rush L.

Publication number: 20150088089Abstract: An apparatus (10) includes a body (2), a plunger (5), and an occlusion (4). The body is able to hold one or more medical substances therein. The body defines a longitudinal axis extending therethrough. The plunger is positioned within a portion of the body and is able to axially advance along the longitudinal axis. The plunger also defines an opening extending therethrough. The occlusion is able to extend through at least a portion of the opening of the plunger so that the plunger and the occlusion fluidly divide the body. The plunger is able to exert a first outward force against the body. The plunger is able to exert a second outward force against the body when the occlusion has been removed where the second outward force is less than the first outward force.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2013Publication date: March 26, 2015Inventors: Rush L. Bartlett, II, Peter M. Greco, Kevin D. Predmore, Brian C. Kelley, Joseph D. Dennis, Christopher P. McKenzie
