Publication number: 20250195788Abstract: A pen needle (10) includes a hub (34) supporting a needle (28) and a distal needle shield (14) that can retract to expose the needle during injection and return to the extended position after use and locked in the extended position cover the needle. A proximal needle shield (16) moves to an extended position with respect to the hub (34) to cover a proximal end (34) of the needle. A spring (64) extends between the distal needle shield (14) and the proximal needle shield (16) to bias each needle shield to the respective extended position. A locking member (78) on the distal needle shield cooperates with the hub to lock the needle shields in the extended position. An indicator (94) in the hub engages and couples to the distal needle shield (14) when moved to the retracted position. The indicator (94) moves with the distal needle shield (14) to the extended position where the indicator is visible through the distal needle shield (14) indicating that the pen needle is no longer usable.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2025Publication date: June 19, 2025Applicant: Embecta Corp.Inventor: Pearse Egan

Patent number: 12296156Abstract: A pen needle (30) for a delivery device includes a hub (32) supporting a needle (54) and a distal needle shield (70) that can retract to expose the needle during injection and return to the extended position after use and lock in the extended position to cover the needle. A proximal needle shield (0.102) moves from a retracted position to an extended position with respect to the hub to shield or cover a proximal end of the needle when the needle hub is separated from the delivery device. A spring (130) extends between the distal needle shield and the proximal needle shield to bias each needle shield to the respective extended position. The distal needle shield (70) is coupled to the proximal needle shield (102) in an initial position to retain the spring (130) in a compressed state. The distal needle shield (70) is depressed to disengage the distal needle shield from the proximal needle shield (102) so that the spring expands to an extended state and moves the shields to the extended positions.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2020Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: Embecta Corp.Inventor: David Poganski
