Patent number: 12551405Abstract: A transfer device for transferring a medical fluid from a vial to a medical fluid injection device includes a vial holder where a vial spike positioned within the vial holder is configured to enter a vial containing a medical fluid when the vial is inserted into the vial holder. An expansion chamber having an interior cavity is in fluid communication with the vial spike. A pressurized gas cartridge is positioned with the interior cavity of the expansion chamber, while a puncture tip is configured to puncture the pressurized gas cartridge when actuated by a user. The vial spike is also configured to be in fluid communication with an injection device attached to the transfer device.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2021Date of Patent: February 17, 2026Assignee: Enable Injections, Inc.Inventors: Greg Drach, James Lowe, Caitlin Knobbe, Daniel Geiger, David Stefanchik

Patent number: 7582087Abstract: A bipolar electrosurgical instrument for clamping, grasping, manipulating, and sealing tissue includes first and second shafts each having a jaw member extending from a distal end thereof and a handle disposed at a proximal end thereof. The handle being operable to effect movement of the jaw members relative to one another from a first position wherein the jaw members are disposed in spaced relation relative to one another to a second position wherein the jaw members cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween. The bipolar instrument is connectable to a source of electrical energy having a first electrical potential connected to one of the jaw members and a second electrical potential connected to the other of the jaw members such that the jaw members are capable of selectively conducting energy through tissue held therebetween to effect a seal. Both the first and second electrical potentials are transmitted to the jaw members through the first shaft.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2001Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: Covidien AGInventors: Philip M. Tetzlaff, Carolyn H. Mihaichuk, Duane E. Kerr, Dave A. Schechter, Jon Sherman, Ted Richardson, Greg Drach
