  • Pen needle hub with a patient contact surface
    Patent number: 11400238
    Abstract: A needle-bearing hub for a pen needle is provided with a distal patient-facing side having an enlarged surface for contact with the subject's skin. The enlarged surface is provided with a radius of curvature that increases the likelihood that the needle reaches full injection depth when an injection is performed at an inclined angle with respect to the surface of the skin and with to the desired depth less discomfort to the patient.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 12, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 2, 2022
    Assignee: Embecta Corp.
    Inventors: Sean Sullivan, David Huang, Brendon Hill, Sudarsan Srinivasan, Christopher Rini, Richard Klug, Bruce Clyde Roberts, Didier Morel, Ronald J. Pettis

  • Optimized intracranial catheters for convection-enhanced delivery of therapeutics
    Patent number: 9402974
    Abstract: A primable catheter including a thermoreactive, viscoelastic material that is internally supported with a trocar wire. The primable catheter further includes a multi-chamfered tip and a gap interposed between an inner surface of the catheter and the outer surface of the trocar, such that a priming fluid is permitted to flow through the catheter and purge air trapped between the trocar and the inner surface of the catheter. Following insertion of the catheter, the trocar is removed and a therapeutic is infused via the catheter.
