Patent number: 9398894Abstract: Systems for injecting fluids and/or other materials into a targeted anatomical location, in particular, an intra-articular space, include a handpiece assembly having a proximal end and a distal end, a needle extending from the distal end of the handpiece assembly, a fluid delivery module comprising a cassette and a fluid transfer device. A conduit is generally configured to place the fluid delivery module in fluid communication with the handpiece assembly. Medications, formulations and/or other fluids or materials contained within vials that are secured to the fluid delivery module can be selectively delivered into an anatomy through a needle located at the distal end of the handpiece assembly. In some embodiments, ultrasound or other imaging technologies can be used to locate a joint or other targeted anatomical location.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2011Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: Carticept Medical, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Patrick, Richard Knostman, Michael Axelrod, Carribeth Ramey

Patent number: 9044542Abstract: Devices and systems for injecting fluids, such as anesthetics, to or near nerve tissue or other targeted anatomical location are disclosed herein. A conduit is generally configured to place the fluid delivery module in fluid communication with a needle that is configured to be inserted into the patient's anatomy. One or more medicaments (e.g., anesthetics) and/or other materials contained within containers (e.g., vials) that are secured to the injection system can be selectively delivered into an anatomy through the needle. Nerve stimulation and/or imaging technologies (e.g., ultrasound) can be used to locate a targeted anatomical location. Aspiration can be used to confirm needle location. An overlay on the imaging display can include, in addition to real-time imaging data, data and other information relating to back pressure at or near the needle tip, volumes or other amounts of fluids delivered by and remaining within the system, stimulation level and/or the like.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Carticept Medical, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Patrick, Richard Knostman, Michael Axelrod, Carribeth Ramey

Publication number: 20120259237Abstract: An injection system for transferring a volume of fluid from a syringe into a patient comprises a syringe assembly having a syringe adapter configured to securely receive a pre-filled syringe and a plunger assembly configured to be selectively moved relative to the syringe adapter. The injection system further comprises a fluid delivery module comprising at least one motor to move an actuator in at least one direction. In some embodiments, the injection system additionally comprises a motion transfer cable. In one embodiment, one end of the motion transfer cable is mechanically coupled to the actuator of the fluid delivery module, and the other end is mechanically coupled to the plunger assembly of the syringe assembly. In some embodiments, movement of the actuator by the motor is transferred through the motion transfer cable to the plunger assembly, resulting in the plunger assembly moving a desired distance relative to the pre-filled syringe.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2012Publication date: October 11, 2012Applicant: CARTICEPT MEDICAL, INC.Inventor: Michael Axelrod
