Abstract: Devices and methods for distributing a fluid, e.g., a fluid drug, are disclosed. Fluid-drug distribution can be advantageously utilized to help patients suffering from a disorder that affect fine motor skill usage, e.g., Parkinson's Disease. Some aspects are directed to dosing containers that are adapted to distribute one or more selected dosages of fluid from the container. In some instances, the containers are adapted to be operable by patients with hindered fingertip motor control to help dispense a fluid-drug, such as a fluid including carbidopa and levodopa. Other aspects are directed to a kit for distributing a fluid drug that can be stored with a longer shelf life in solid form. Also discussed herein are methods for distributing a fluid drug for treating a disorder such as Parkinson's Disease.

Abstract: A film assemblage includes a film cassette having opposed forward and rear walls and a spring platen which resiliently engages a stack of film units to urge them toward the forward wall. A coupling is provided for coupling the spring platen to the rear wall such that the two remain coupled to each other during the period that the spring platen is in an unstressed or non-compressed state.
