Patent number: 9289556Abstract: A syringe assembly including a plunger rod having a first end, a second end, and a rod portion extending therebetween, wherein at least a portion of the rod portion is flexible is disclosed. The flexible portion of the rod portion allows a stopper to be moved between a first position and a second position within a syringe barrel while the overall length of the syringe assembly remains the same throughout the movement between the first position and the second position. In another embodiment, a syringe assembly including a restraining member adapted to communicate with the flexible portion of the rod portion such that movement of the first end of the plunger rod in a first direction actuates movement of the second end of the plunger rod in a second direction different than the first direction is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2012Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Becton Dickinson France, S.A.S.Inventors: Darrin Scott Manke, Christopher Labak, Joseph Omer St. Cyr, David Robert Schiff, Mathieu Dominic Turpault, Antonio Gatta, John Depler Coleman

Publication number: 20150265774Abstract: A syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel having a first end, a second end, and a sidewall extending between the first end and the second end. The syringe assembly further includes a stopper disposed within a chamber of the syringe barrel, a plunger adapter engaged with the stopper, and a plunger rod having first and second ends. The first end of the plunger rod is pivotally secured to the plunger adapter. The plunger rod has a pre-use position where the second end of the plunger rod is positioned adjacent to the syringe barrel, and a use position where the plunger rod is configured to displace the stopper relative to the syringe barrel. A recessed portion of the plunger adapter receives a portion of the first end of the plunger rod when the plunger rod is in the pre-use position and the use position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2015Publication date: September 24, 2015Inventors: Darrin Scott Manke, Christopher Labak, Joseph Omer St. Cyr

Patent number: 9119919Abstract: A syringe assembly having an exterior surface and defining a chamber having a stopper disposed therein is disclosed. The syringe assembly includes a plunger assembly having an elongated plunger rod and a handle portion connected thereto, the plunger rod including a depending leg and at least one hinge connecting the depending leg with the handle portion. The plunger rod is adapted to transition from a collapsed position, in which at least a portion of the depending leg extends along at least a portion of the exterior surface of a syringe barrel, to an extended position in which at least a portion of the depending leg engages the stopper. The at least one hinge maintains the depending leg substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the syringe barrel in both the collapsed position and the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2012Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Becton Dickinson France, S.A.S.Inventors: Darrin Scott Manke, Christopher Labak, Joseph Omer St. Cyr

Publication number: 20140058286Abstract: The table for performing breast biopsies is characterized by features that enhance patient comfort and facilitate performance of the biopsy. An opening in the table allowing the breast to extend below the table top is formed in a removable insert. An area of the insert includes padding. An alternate insert having a different diameter opening may be selected based on patient breast size. Another insert having an asymmetrical opening may accommodate the patient's arm when it is desirable to position both the arm and breast of the patient below the table top. The table top is contoured such that symmetrical distal end sections are elevated relative to a central section to support the patient in multiple positions. A removable pad may be placed over the insert. An end portion for padding the hip of the patient is thicker than an end portion for padding the head/neck of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2011Publication date: February 27, 2014Applicant: HOLOGIC, INC.Inventors: Kenneth F. DeFreitas, Ian Shaw, kathy Pickett, Aaron Fand, Agnes Mercurio, Linda Volpe, Kelly Farmer, Darrin Manke, Erin-Anne A. Lemieux, Christopher Paul Loughnane, Christopher Labak

Patent number: 8657793Abstract: A syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel defining a chamber and having a stopper disposed within the chamber, a sleeve having a first end and a second end and extending at least partially about the syringe barrel, and a cap associated with a second end of the sleeve. The syringe assembly also includes a plunger rod having a first end associated with the cap and a second end, wherein the plunger rod is transitionable from a pre-use position, in which at least a portion of the second end of the plunger rod extends along a portion of a barrel sidewall, to a ready-to-use position in which the plunger rod is aligned with the stopper. Upon proximal movement of the sleeve in a direction away from a first end of the barrel, the plunger rod is configured for lateral movement with respect to the cap into the ready-to-use position.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2012Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Becton Dickinson France, S.A.SInventors: James Pellegrini, Darrin Scott Manke, Christopher Labak, Joseph Omer St. Cyr
