Abstract: A package (1) for a fluid formulation (2) to be delivered as a spray or a jet of droplets to an eye (4), comprising an enclosed container (5) a storage recess (6) containing a fluid formulation (2); and a delivery recess (7), adjacent to the storage recess (6). The storage recess (6) and the delivery recess (7) are separated by a fluid barrier (8). Package (1) further comprises a matrix of holes (9), for generating the spray and/or jet of droplets, the matrix of holes (9) opening into the delivery recess (7). The storage recess (6) is configured to expel, by application of an impulse thereto, a dose of fluid formulation (2). The matrix of holes (9) is configured to steer the spray and/or jet of droplets to the target area (3) on the eye (4). Also provided is a device (20) for delivery of the fluid formulation, and a method for delivering the fluid formulation (2) as a spray or a jet of droplets to an eye (4) of a user.

Abstract: A wearable breastmilk collection device includes a storage compartment with a flange and a cup, a breast accepting flange separated from the storage compartment by a one-way valve, a vacuum source attachment, and a reservoir in communication with the vacuum source attachment. A method of expressing and collecting breastmilk from a breast may involve using the wearable breastmilk collection device described above to express breastmilk from the breast, while the device is positioned in the woman's brassiere.

Abstract: A multi-lumen coupler for fluid transfer with a plurality of attachable members is provided. The multi-lumen coupler allows the attachment and detachment of various members used for fluid transfer to an elongated percutaneous medical article such as a catheter or cannula, during use with a patient.

Abstract: An inhaler, the inhaler including a body (104) and a cartridge (106), the cartridge comprising a dose storage portion (122) and an airway (124), the dose storage portion being suitable for containing a plurality of doses of an inhalable medicament, the airway including a mouthpiece (128) at an end thereof, the inhaler device configured and arranged such that a dose of inhalable medicament from the dose storage portion can be accessed and arranged in a delivery configuration for delivery to a user through the airway upon inhalation through the mouthpiece by the user, the inhaler characterized in that the cartridge is replaceably removable from the body.

Abstract: An inhaler device (1) for powdered medicaments. The device (1) has a body (5) that has a recess (50) for holding a capsule containing a powdered medicament to be inhaled, at least one air passage (90) that is tangentially disposed to the recess (50) , and a mouthpiece (30) that includes a coaxially disposed inhalation passage (70) that communicates with the recess (50) of the body (5). The body (5) has a pair of opposed spring (105) biased push-buttons (40) that each include at least one piercing element (95) for piercing the capsule when loaded in the recess (50). The medicament is released from the pierced capsule when air is drawn through the air passage(s) (90) into the recess (50) and swirled about therein. The mouthpiece (30) is pivotally attached to the edge of the body (5) so that it is pivotable between an open loading position and a closed dispensing position about an axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the inhaler (1).

Abstract: A resettable training device and method for training a user on the operation of an auto-injector for dispensing a medicament are provided. The user can operate the training device to simulate an auto-injector operation and then reset the training device to repeat the injector operation. The training device includes a housing, a cover member slidably received within the housing between a retracted operative position and an extended inoperative position, a spring member for biasing the cover member into the extended position, an actuation assembly that controls the movement of the cover member from the retracted position to the extended position in response to activation of the trainer by the user, a safety pin, and in some embodiments at least one releasable locking assembly to prevent movement of the cover member from the extended position to the retracted position.
