Patent number: 8118788Abstract: A pre-filled hypodermic syringe includes a tubular body having two open ends and containing a fluid to be administered to a patient; a plunger which, having at one of its ends a piston mounted to slide in the tubular body, passes through the opening of the first end of the tubular body; a tip for connection in the form of a cone of the Luer or Luer-Lock type, for example for connecting to a needle or to a drip, intended to pass the fluid that is to be administered and comprising a tubular part communicating with the opening of the second end; the tip comprising an obturator connected by a frangible region to the free end of its tubular part, the syringe being made of a synthetic material and obtained by molding, the obturator being molded as one piece with the tip and the tubular body.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2007Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Laboratoire AguettantInventor: Pierre Frezza

Patent number: 7938816Abstract: The invention relates to a medical bag which is intended for the infusion of a medicament by means of gravity. The inventive bag comprises: at least two compartments, namely a first compartment (1) containing a medicament in the form of a solution and a second compartment (2) containing a rinsing solution; and means for separating/communicating the compartments, which prevent the rinsing solution from automatically entering the medicament compartment except at the end of the infusion period. The rinsing solution ends the infusion, by rinsing the medicament bag and the infusion line, such as to prevent any risk of contamination or leakage of residual medicament from the bag or line.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2010Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Laboratoire AguettantInventor: Pierre Frezza

Patent number: 6416498Abstract: This device comprises: a syringe body equipped with an access which may be connected in succession to a filling member, such as a needle, and to an infusion line fitted with a non-return valve to allow liquid to pass from the syringe into the line; a housing mounted so that it can slide in leaktight fashion inside the body so as to vary the volume of a chamber which it delimits with the body of the syringe; an element which, forming a piston, mounted on the housing and in contact with the chamber, is able, according to its position, to create a raised pressure or reduced pressure in the chamber; means for moving the piston-forming element back and forth.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2000Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Laboratoire AguettantInventor: Pierre Frezza

Patent number: 5807346Abstract: A metering instrument for dispensing several doses of a liquid includes a tubular body designed to be held by the user, a reservoir containing the liquid, a movable tail mounted inside and on the axis of body, and a pusher grippable by the user and mounted translationally in the body. The tail has a rack constituted by successive annular notches, and the body has several axial slots distributed over its periphery. The pusher includes an outwardly projecting pin that is designed to engage one of the axial slots of the body.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1995Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Laboratoire AguettantInventor: Pierre Frezza

Patent number: 5779677Abstract: The injector has a reservoir containing a drug. The injector has a tubular body with a tubular wall, a plunger, a needle and a plunger rod. The tubular body also has two springs. The first spring is compressed from bearing on a part of the inner surface of the tubular body and on a piece that is connected to the plunger rod. The first spring pushes in the direction in which the needle protrudes. The second spring acts in the opposite direction of the first spring. The second spring is compressed by bearing on a part of the inner surface of the injector body and on a ring. The force exerted by the second spring is greater than that exerted by the first spring. The ring is slidably mounted and is capable of entraining the reservoir in the direction of the retraction of the needle. The ring is blocked by a movable abutment. The plunger rod cooperates with the movable abutment to release the second spring and cause the retraction of the needle.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 1996Date of Patent: July 14, 1998Assignee: Laboratoire AguettantInventor: Pierre Frezza

Patent number: 5503538Abstract: An infusion pump includes at least one cylinder-and-piston intake device for a liquid in a container and for dispensing the liquid into a connection link to the patient. In a preferred embodiment, the pump includes at least one metering cylinder containing a piston, each cylinder terminates in a cavity communicating with a supply receptacle for liquids, a diaphragm that is fluid-tight and deformable between the cylinder and the cavity, a disk located in each cavity, a spring urging the disk towards the cylinder, and a delivery connection between the cavity and the cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1994Date of Patent: April 2, 1996Assignee: Laboratoire AguettantInventors: Michael V. Wiernicki, Mark G. Scattergood

Patent number: 4200209Abstract: A device for stoppering and connecting a container containing a sterile liquid comprises a pair of hollow cup-like elements aligned coaxially and sealed together along their peripheries in a fluid-tight manner; a disk formed of a fluid-tight, pierceable elastomeric material located between the two hollow cup-like elements, the disk serving to seal the interior of the upstream cup-like element from becoming contaminated while permitting successive passages of materials therethrough, the upstream cup-like element having a hollow extension for connection to the container or to a tube coming from the container; and the downstream cup-like element having a closed extension with a weakened separation line between the extension and the downstream cup-like element whereby the extension may be broken under stress from the downstream cup-like element to provide access to the elastomeric disk.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 1978Date of Patent: April 29, 1980Assignee: Laboratoire AguettantInventor: Georges Aguettant
