  • Patent number: 8945065
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for providing safe syringe assemblies for injections. The syringe assemblies include a shielding mechanism that covers a syringe needle after an injection is delivered, thereby reducing the risk of a subsequent accidental stab from the needle. The shielding mechanism has a pre-injection configuration in which the needle extends beyond the housing and a post-injection configuration in which at least one component of the syringe assembly covers the needle. In some implementations, the syringe assembly includes a lock that inhibits the assembly from returning to the pre-injection configuration once an injection is delivered. The syringe assemblies may also include a bevel orientation mechanism that allows a user to align a needle bevel to accurately insert a needle for injection.

  • Publication number: 20120073030
    Abstract: The present invention features a facial mask comprising a water-insoluble substrate sized and shaped to lie against and substantially coincident with a face of a human user. The water-insoluble substrate includes separation features that form laterally-extending tabs capable of overlapping the facial mask, improving its adaptability and fit. Methods of treating the skin using facial masks are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20100228204
    Abstract: The present invention features a facial mask including a water-insoluble, liquid-retaining layer sized and shaped to lie against and substantially coincident with a face of a human user and having at least one opening formed therethrough. The facial mask also includes an isolation layer substantially overlapping the water-insoluble, liquid-retaining layer. The isolation layer is readily separable from said water-insoluble, liquid-retaining layer. At least one opening in the water-insoluble, liquid-retaining layer is unobstructed by the isolation layer.
