  • Patent number: 7063687
    Abstract: An eye fluid applicator comprising a) a hand grip part having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end and the proximal end defining a axis therebetween and a distal direction and a proximal direction along said axis, b) a container, or a seat for a container, having a bottle part and a delivery orifice for delivery of a stream or drops, the orifice defining a fluid delivery axis and a fluid delivery direction, along said axis, from the bottle through the orifice, the container being arranged with its orifice closer to the proximal end than the distal end, and c) an eye cup part having a rim and a cavity, the rim defining a contact plane, a contact axis normal to said contact plane and a contact direction, along said contact axis, from the cavity towards the rim, the eye cup being arranged at the orifice and the proximal direction of the hand grip and the contact direction of the eye cup forming an acute angle therebetween.

  • Patent number: 6599272
    Abstract: Injector devices and methods for their operation for containers having an opening with or for an injection needle. The container is optionally of syringe type with a barrel of substantially constant axial cross-section. In one embodiment, the devices include a penetration arrangement operable to move the needle from a rear position to a forward position, an injection arrangement operable at least to expel container content through the needle, and a transmission and a switch system allowing manual energy applied to the device to manually operate the penetration arrangement and then manually operate the injection arrangement.

  • Patent number: 6558395
    Abstract: A device for deforming and ejecting a deformable intraocular lens for insertion into a small incision in an eye, the device comprising a) a housing, b) a lens transporting duct in a front part of the housing defining a duct axis, the duct having a front end with a cross-section adapted to the lens in deformed state with small maximum dimensions transversal to the duct axis, a rear lens-receiving end with a cross-section adapted for the lens in un-deformed state, or less deformed state, than at the front end, with larger maximum dimensions lateral to the duct axis than at the front end and an intermediate convergent duct part between the front and rear ends with a varying cross-section shape, having decreasing maximum dimensions lateral to the duct axis when moving from rear to front in the duct and c) a plunger operative to displace the lens in the duct at least in the forward direction.

  • Patent number: 6423040
    Abstract: An eye fluid applicator. A hand grip part has a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end and the proximal end define an axis therebetween, a distal direction, and a proximal direction along the axis. A container includes a bottle part and a delivery orifice for delivery of a stream or drops. The orifice defines a fluid delivery axis and a fluid delivery direction from the bottle through the orifice along the fluid delivery axis. The container orifice is arranged closer to the proximal end of the container than the distal end. An eye cup part has a rim and a cavity. The rim defines a contact plane, a contact axis normal to the contact plane, and a contact direction along the contact axis from the cavity toward the rim. The eye cup is arranged at the orifice. The proximal direction of the hand grip and the contact direction of the eye cup form an acute angle therebetween.

  • Patent number: 6290111
    Abstract: A harness for holding and supporting at least one gas pressure-container. The harness includes a backplate, a container holder mounted on a first side of the backplate, and two elongated support straps disposed on respective sides of a symmetry line dividing the backplate into a left and a right part. A first end of the respective elongated support straps is attached to an upper part of the backplate. The harness further includes a waist belt fastened to a lower part of the backplate. Mounted on a lower part of a second side of the backplate is a first element which is at least substantially rigid and parallel with the backplate, and which is pivotably mounted on the backplate at a pivot point. Each of second ends of the elongated support straps is attached to the first element on a respective side of the pivot point.

  • Patent number: 6238371
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cannula, attachable to an injection device comprising a needle entirely surrounded by an essentially cylindrical collapsible needle cover in order to visually hide the entire needle during the whole procedure of administration by injection. The collapsible needle cover comprises a resilient, cylindrical or vaguely conical sleeve made of a foamed polymer and is provided with an axially extended hole for the needle, alternatively the needle cover can have a bellows-like structure. Also disclosed is a method of administering a medicament by injection with needle hidden from visual impression during the whole administration process.
