  • Publication number: 20240033492
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11684719
    Abstract: A method of treatment may include providing a syringe having medicinal fluid therein for administering to a patient and coupling an attachment portion of an extrusion accessory having a handle and a pawl to a flange portion of the syringe. The pawl may have first and second ends, and be hingedly and rotatably coupled relative to the handle at a first position at the first end and at a second position between the first and second ends. The method may further include applying a force to translate the handle in a direction substantially perpendicular relative to a longitudinal axis of the syringe to cause axial movement of the second end of the pawl. The second end of the pawl may be engaged with a plunger of the syringe and axial movement of the second end of the pawl may drive the plunger forward to extrude the medicinal fluid from the syringe.

  • Patent number: 11648104
    Abstract: A breast implant includes a flexible shell having an anterior face including an outer surface and an inner surface, and a marker attached to the inner surface of the anterior face of the shell. The marker includes a first layer of material having a radiopaque surface with readable characters for identifying a characteristic of the breast implant while in vivo, and a second layer of non-radiopaque material laminated onto the radiopaque surface. The readable characters defined by an outline formed from an absence of at least a portion of material of the radiopaque surface. The first layer of material with the readable characters is interposed between the inner surface of the anterior face of the shell and the second layer, and the readable characters are viewable in vivo using conventional imaging techniques.
