Patent number: 6599272Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2000Date of Patent: July 29, 2003Assignee: Pharmacia ABInventors: Birger Hjertman, Markus Ramseyer, Jiro Arborgh, Jonas Fridholm, Hans Himbert, Carl-Göran Crafoord

Patent number: 6558395Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2000Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: Pharmacia ABInventors: Birger Hjertman, Jonas Fridholm, Hans Himbert, Carl-Göran Crafoord

Patent number: 6423040Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1998Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: Pharmacia ABInventors: Maria Benktzon, Henric Bjarke, Carl-Göran Crafoord, Hans Himbert, Stig Mannberg, Ann-Marie Svensson, Jonas Törnsten

Patent number: 6290111Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1998Date of Patent: September 18, 2001Assignee: Interspiro ABInventors: Håkan Hedenberg, John Grieves, Carl Göran Crafoord

Patent number: 6238371Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1997Date of Patent: May 29, 2001Assignee: Pharmacia ABInventors: Hans Himbert, Carl-Göran Crafoord
