Patent number: 9662676Abstract: An attachment part with a coupling part by means of which coupling part the attachment part can be attached to a dispensing unit. The coupling part has a female cone area, with a continuous inlet opening, and a locking structure arranged around the female cone area. The female cone area can be pushed onto a male cone area of the dispensing unit, in order thereby to connect the attachment part to the dispensing unit. The locking structure serves to secure the attachment part on the dispensing unit. The first coupling part additionally has a rotation element, which is rotatable concentrically about the female cone area and on which the first locking structure is formed. The rotation element has an actuating element, which serves to rotate the rotation element relative to the female cone area.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2011Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: MEDMIX SYSTEMS AGInventor: Ralph Egon Kayser

Patent number: 9402787Abstract: The invention relates to a device for removing a fluid from at least one container (300), from a vial for example, said container being closed by a closure (320) that can be punctured. The device comprises a base body (271) with a container receiving portion (272) and a hollow needle-like puncturing organ (277) in order to puncture the closure (320) of the container (300) in a removal position of the container (300). The aim of the invention is to enable mounting the container on the device without unintentionally puncturing the closure. This is achieved in that detent structures (274, 275) are provided which retain the container (300) on the device in a removal position and in a mounting position which is different from said removal position. Such a device can be used in particular to fill an applicator (280) with one or more fluid reservoirs from one or more vitals.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2010Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: MEDMIX SYSTEMS AGInventors: William Brem, Ralph Egon Kayser, Andy Greter

Patent number: 9352353Abstract: The invention relates to a discharge device (1) comprising a tank housing (3) having at least one outlet (4) at one end and having a drive means at the opposite end. A connector (6) can be placed over the outlet (4) on the discharge device. The connector comprises a releasable mounting device that can be released by manual pressure on two opposite side surfaces of the connector. One guide surface (9) is provided on each of the two opposite side surfaces, each being oriented diagonally to the longitudinal axis (L) of the discharge device (1) and spaced in the direction of the discharge device. The connector is placed over the outlet on the discharge device in a mounting position. The guide surfaces (9) are moved radially toward each other in a released position by pressure (F) on the side surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2009Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: Kuros Biosurgery AGInventors: Andy Greter, Ralph Egon Kayser, Wilhelm A.

Patent number: 9155680Abstract: A modular filling device for filling at least a first reservoir (111) of an applicator (100) with a fluid is proposed. The filling device comprises a container holder (310) with a holding area (320) on which a container (330) is held. The applicator is mounted along a securing direction on an applicator holder (200). In order to permit the greatest possible flexibility in the choice of the container, the container holder (310) can be connected to the applicator holder (200) along a connecting direction that runs transversely with respect to the securing direction for the applicator.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2011Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: MEDMIX SYSTEMS AGInventors: Beat Mathys, Ralph Egon Kayser

Patent number: 8915413Abstract: A device for opening an ampoule (3) comprises a hollow cylindrical housing (11) having an interior for accommodating the ampoule (3) and a rotary element (12) having a proximal section (121), to which a break-off section (124) extending in a distal direction is connected to. The break-off section (124) is flexible in a radial direction and is pivotably connected to the proximal section (121) in the radial direction. The rotary element (12) is rotatable relative to the housing (11) about the longitudinal axis. The housing (11) has a first guiding structure (119) for pressing the break-off section (124) inward during a rotation of the rotary element so that the break-off section (124) exerts a radial shear force on an ampoule head (33) of an ampoule (3) to break the ampoule head (33) off of the ampoule body (31).Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2011Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Medmix Systems AGInventor: Ralph Egon Kayser

Publication number: 20130032623Abstract: The invention relates to a device for opening an ampoule (3), said device comprising a substantially hollow cylindrical housing (11) having an interior for accommodating an ampoule (3). The device also comprises a rotary element (12) having a proximal section (121), to which a break-off section (124) extending in the distal direction is connected. The break-off section (124) is flexible in the radial direction and/or is pivotably connected to the proximal section (121) in the radial direction. The rotary element (12) can be rotated relative to the housing (11) about the longitudinal axis in an actuating direction from an initial position to an intermediate position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2011Publication date: February 7, 2013Applicant: MEDMIX SYSTEMS AGInventor: Ralph Egon Kayser

Publication number: 20120316509Abstract: The invention relates to a discharge device for discharging a fluid product, for example, in the form of a syringe. The discharge device comprises a housing (1), which bounds a reservoir (16), and a piston (23), which is slidably arranged in the housing (1) in a longitudinal direction in order to discharge the fluid product distally from the reservoir (16) through an outlet opening (13). A window opening (15) is formed in a circumferential side wall (11) of the housing (1). An insert element (3) is inserted into said window opening (15) perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction. The insert element (3) protrudes into the reservoir (16). In this way, a motion of the piston (23) can be limited in the proximal direction in order to prevent the piston (23) from falling out, and the metering of the fluid product can be made easier in that the insert element (3) establishes a detachable locking connection with an advancing element (27) for the piston (23).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2010Publication date: December 13, 2012Applicant: MEDMIX SYSTEMS AGInventors: Ralph Egon Kayser, William Brem

Publication number: 20120298254Abstract: The invention relates to a device for removing a fluid from at least one container (300), for example, from a vial, that has a seal that can be punctured. The device comprises a base body (210), in which a fluid channel is formed. In order to reduce the lost volume, a pin-shaped insertion element (250) that reduces the cross-section of the fluid channel is inserted into the fluid channel through an insertion opening. Locking structures (262, 263) that retain the container on the device in a removal position and in a storage position different therefrom can be provided so that the container can be stored on the device without the seal being punctured accidentally. Such a device can be used in particular to fill an applicator (100) having one or more fluid reservoirs from one or more vials.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2010Publication date: November 29, 2012Applicant: MEDMIX SYSTEMS AGInventors: William Brem, Ralph Egon Kayser, Andy Greter

Publication number: 20110139821Abstract: A discharge arrangement for discharging a mixture comprises a connector (6) having at least two inlet channels (7, 7?) ending a mixing channel (8). A static mixing element (10) is provided in the mixing channel. A distal end region of the mixing channel is surrounded by a cone region (13), the outer circumference of which continuously tapers in the direction of the outlet of the mixing channel and which serves as a fastening region for an accessory (23) of the discharge arrangement. The cone region is designed as a luer cone in order to ensure the easy connection of accessories. The mixing element extends into the fastening region in order to minimize the dead volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2009Publication date: June 16, 2011Applicant: MEDMIX SYSTEMS AGInventors: Andy Greter, Ralph Egon Kayser, Wilhelm A.
