  • Patent number: 11771829
    Abstract: Self-righting articles, such as self-righting capsules for administration to a subject, are generally provided. In some embodiments, the self-righting article may be configured such that the article may orient itself relative to a surface (e.g., a surface of a tissue of a subject). The self-righting articles described herein may comprise one or more tissue engaging surfaces configured to engage (e.g., interface with, inject into, anchor) with a surface (e.g., a surface of a tissue of a subject). In some embodiments, the self-righting article may have a particular shape and/or distribution of density (or mass) which, for example, enables the self-righting behavior of the article. In some embodiments, the self-righting article may comprise a tissue interfacing component and/or a pharmaceutical agent (e.g., for delivery of the active pharmaceutical agent to a location internal of the subject) such as a liquid pharmaceutical agent.

  • Publication number: 20230277823
    Abstract: A capsule (100) suitable for insertion into a gastrointestinal lumen. The capsule (100) comprises: a capsule housing (110, 120), a reservoir (A) accommodating a drug substance, a drug outlet (190), an actuation chamber (118), a movable separator (160) between the actuation chamber (118) and the reservoir (A), and a drive system comprising a gas expansion unit (150) and a trigger (145, 140, 170). The gas expansion unit (150) comprises a gas gate (151) and the trigger (145, 140, 170) comprises a trigger member (170) and a swellable portion (140) comprising sponge material, wherein wetting of the sponge material causes swelling of the sponge material thereby causing relative movement between the gas expansion unit (150) and the trigger member (170) to open the gas gate (151). Pressurized gas flows from them to the actuation chamber (118) thereby exerting load on the separator (160) for expelling the drug substance.

  • Publication number: 20230263956
    Abstract: A drug delivery device for administration to a subject may include a reservoir containing an active pharmaceutical ingredient and a potential energy source. The drug delivery device may also include a trigger operatively associated with the potential energy source. The trigger may be configured to actuate at a predetermined location within the subject to deploy a jet of the active pharmaceutical ingredient into a tissue of an adjacent portion of the gastrointestinal tract. In some instances, the jet may be deployed into tissue of the stomach and/or small intestine of the subject. Further, in some embodiments, the operating parameters of the jet may be selected such that the jet penetrates the tissue of the gastrointestinal tract to form a depot of the active pharmaceutical ingredient disposed within the tissue.

  • Patent number: 11596747
    Abstract: An add-on device adapted to be releasably mounted on a drug delivery device, the add-on device comprising an outer assembly with an add-on dose setting member adapted to be coupled to the outer housing of a pen housing, as well as an inner assembly engaging the pen dose setting member and being in rotational engagement with the add-on dose setting member during dose setting. The invention addresses the issue of preventing transfer of movement from the add-on dose setting member to the inner assembly during dose expelling, which in accordance with the invention is realized by rotationally de-coupling the inner and outer assembly during dose expelling.

  • Publication number: 20220088316
    Abstract: An add-on device adapted to be releasably mounted on a drug delivery device, the add-on device comprising an outer assembly with an add-on dose setting member adapted to be coupled to the outer housing of a pen housing, as well as an inner sensor assembly engaging the pen dose setting member and being in rotational engagement with the add-on dose setting member during dose setting. The invention addresses the issue of providing a stable inner platform for the sensor means, which in accordance with the invention is realized by actuating a clutch between the pen housing and the pen dose setting member during dose sensing, this preventing to a high degree that the inner sensor assembly rotates relative to the drug delivery housing during actuation of the drug expelling means.

  • Patent number: 9950118
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection device (1) for setting and injecting set doses from a held drug cartridge (10). The injection device (1) comprises a housing (110,120,130, 140), a piston rod (800), a rotatable driver (500, 700) and a dose setting device (400). The dose setting device (400) comprises a predetermined stop to limit the amount of an expelled dose corresponding to the amount of a set dose. A secondary stop limiter includes first (700) and second (270) components and a secondary stop track follower (950) arranged between the first (700) and second (270) components. If the predetermined stop fails to stop the driver (500, 700) at the end of injection, the secondary stop track follower (950) moves towards a safety stop (708) to prevent the driver (500, 700) from rotating further.

  • Patent number: 9901683
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection device (1) for setting and injecting set doses from a held drug cartridge (10). The injection device (1) comprises a housing (110, 120, 130, 140), a piston rod (800), a rotatable driver (500, 700) and a dose control member (350). A stored energy source (560) is configured to drive rotation of the driver (500, 700) to cause the piston rod (800) to expel a set dose. The dose control member (350) rotates during dose setting and during dose expelling. A first clutch (C1) is arranged between the dose control member (350) and the driver (500, 700). A second clutch (C2) is arranged between the driver (500, 700) and the housing (110, 120, 130, 140) to control the expelling movement. During dose setting the first clutch (C1) is disengaged and the second clutch (C2) is engaged. During dose expelling the first clutch (C1) is engaged and the second clutch (C2) is disengaged.

  • Patent number: 9604007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical injection system comprising a medical injection device (100) of the type comprising a rotatable dose setting member (160). The system further comprises a dose limiter module (200) adapted for being releasably coupled to the injection device (100). The dose limiter module (200) comprises a dose limiter base (201) and a limiter (240) arranged relative to the dose limiter base (201) so that their relative position is adjustable to set an adjusted dose limiting position. When the dose limiter module (200) is coupled to the injection device (100), the limiter (240) cooperates with the dose setting member (160) to define a blocking means for preventing rotation of the dose setting member (160) beyond the adjusted dose limiting position.

  • Patent number: 9586007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection device for automatic torsion spring driven injection of a liquid drug. The injection device is of the type wherein a telescopically movable needle shield (20) activates the release of the torque of the torsion spring to drive the injection when the needle shield is moved from its extended position to a retracted position. The injection device is provided with a needle interface (30) carrying the injection needle, which needle interface is provided with means (32) preventing axial movement of the shield when no injection needle is mounted. Further, other means are provided to restrain the needle shield in the retracted position when the injection device is its “zero” position such that a user has access to the injection needle in order to exchange the injection needle.

  • Publication number: 20160317745
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an auto-injection device (100) repeatedly activateable for automatically expelling multiple set doses of a liquid drug. An activation button (190) protrudes from a proximal end of a housing (101) and is axially moveable between an activateable position and an activated position. The auto-injection device includes dose setting means comprising a dose setting device (170) that performs a helical movement away from a zero dose position during setting of a dose and returns by a helical movement to the zero dose position as the set dose is expelled. The dose setting device (170) is coupled to the activation button (190) to retain the activation button in the activated position when the dose setting device (170) assumes its zero dose position.
