Further, a hand-held device for repeated local puncturing of a human or an animal skin is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for piercing an organic tissue, and more particularly to piercing human or animal skin. The device includes a housing, a piercing unit, which is accommodated in the housing, and an actuator device which is arranged and configured in the housing to generate an actuating force in such a way that an actuator component surrounded by the actuator device and functionally connected to the piercing unit, performs an oscillating actuating movement in the housing which is coupled to the piercing unit. The actuating device is designed with a counter component allocated to the actuating component which at least partially compensates for vibrations caused in the housing by the oscillating actuating movement of the actuating component; the counter component oscillates and is moved contrary to the actuating component. The invention also relates to an actuation module for a device for piercing an organic tissue.

Abstract: A handheld device for repeated local puncture of human or animal skin, comprising a housing having a handle, a drive device in the housing supplied with a rotating movement about an axis of rotation by a driveshaft, a conversion mechanism coupled to the driveshaft to convert rotating movement into a driving movement along a driving movement direction, and a puncture device which is arranged in the housing and as a puncture needle, which is arranged on a needle shaft that can be moved back and forth repeatedly along a path of movement together with the puncture needle and is connected to the conversion mechanism, wherein the conversion mechanism has a rod crank device, and the stroke executed by the puncture element in moving back and forth is adjustable by altering a relative position between an axial direction of the axis of rotation and the direction of the driving movement.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for applying a tattoo or permanent make-up, comprising a disposable module removably arranged at a handpiece, a needle retained at one end in a needle shaft and supported for movement in a needle guide formed in the disposable module and at another end extending through a needle nozzle opening for discharge of color, and a drive mechanism composed of several structural members and coupled to the needle shaft to effect reciprocating movements of the needle, said plurality of structural members of the drive mechanism comprising drive and coupling means to couple the drive means to the needle shaft. At least part of the coupling means are arranged in the disposable module and removable from the handpiece together with the disposable module.

Abstract: A method for operating in a system for repetitive local puncturing of skin is provided. The system having a handheld applicator device provided with a puncturing device configured to repetitively puncture skin and a control device connected to the handheld applicator device and configured to control operation of the applicator device. The method comprising: receiving a user selection for a body skin part to which repetitive local puncturing is to be applied in the control device, responsively providing a set of operation parameters in the control device, the set of operation parameters defining a mode of operation of the applicator device for repetitive local puncturing, and operating the applicator device according to the mode of operation defined by the set of operation parameters with the operating of the applicator device being controlled by the control device. Also, a system for repetitive local puncturing a skin is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a valve for controlling a flow of a fluid through a fluid channel, comprising a tube of flexible material in which a section of a fluid channel is formed, a valve component assigned to the tube, a squeeze element, which is formed and configured on the valve component by pressing against an outside surface of the tube to control a flow of a fluid through the fluid channel, optionally up to the closing of the fluid channel, a guide section, which is formed on the valve component, and a guide assigned to the valve component, which cooperates with the guide section in a relative movement of the guide and valve components relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the tube, such that the squeeze element is displaced in the relative movement, changing the pressure on the outside surface of the tube and thus changing the flow through the fluid channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the repeated piercing of a skin, with a hand-held device (1), which has a drive module (2) with a drive unit (4) that is configured for the purpose of producing a driving force, and a needle module (3) in which a piercing apparatus (6) is moveably located in the longitudinal direction of the needle module (3) and which is detachably coupled to the drive module (2) in such a way that the driving force is conducted into the piercing apparatus (6), wherein the needle module (3) has identification means (14) which can be evaluated with an evaluation apparatus (13) allocated to the identification means (14) and enclosed by the drive module (2). Furthermore, the invention relates to a needle module as well as a method for assembling the hand-held device.

Abstract: The invention concerns a driving device for a device for the local puncturing of a skin, particularly for the application of permanent make-up or a tattoo, as well as a method for operating the driving device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handheld device for the repetitive local puncturing of a skin for an input of a liquid active substance, particularly a permanent make-up and tattoo handheld device, with: a piercing device formed in a needle module with repetitive movement forwards and backwards, which piercing device is driven with the help of a drive unit formed in a drive module, a reservoir for the liquid active substance, a pump system coupled to the reservoir where the said pump system is configured in order to discharge the liquid active substance held in a cavity of the reservoir by means of pressure application, and a fluid connection running at least partially in a needle module casing where said fluid connection is configured in order to supply the liquid active substance from the reservoir to the piercing device.

Abstract: A device for locally puncturing skin is disclosed, especially for applying permanent make-up or a tattoo, comprising a housing, a needle guided in the housing for movement between extended and retracted positions, and a diaphragm made of an elastically extensible material and dividing a front-end space at a front surface of the diaphragm from a rear-end space at a back surface of the diaphragm in the housing. A coupling mechanism firmly couples the needle and the diaphragm for backward movement of the needle in the direction of the retracted position, a return force generated by the diaphragm for moving the needle back in the direction of the retracted position being introduced into the needle shaft.
