Gregory Peruzzo has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12653964
    Abstract: The safety device includes a tubular body extending along a longitudinal axis. The tubular body is configured to receive the medical container, a needle cover movable relative to said body between a retracted position, and an extended position in which the needle cover distally extends from the retracted position in order to shield the injection needle after activation of the safety device, a release element configured to move the needle cover from the retracted to the extended position after activation of the safety device, and a retainer for maintaining the release element in a compressed condition when the needle cover is in the retracted position. The retainer is configured to transmit a user's activation force to the needle cover once the injection operation is completed.

  • Patent number: 12623030
    Abstract: A standalone safety device for a needle of a medical device A safety device for a needle of a medical device, the safety device including: a ring fixed with regard to the needle, a shield mounted on the ring by a pivot link, a protective cap covering at least partially the needle in an initial configuration, a translation locking unit adapted to prevent a translation movement of the protective cap, and a rotation locking unit adapted to prevent a rotation movement of the shield with regard to the ring. The translation locking unit is configured to be disengaged by the application of a predetermined translation force on the protective cap. The rotation locking unit is configured to be disengaged during a portion of the translation movement of the protective cap with regard to the shield.

  • Patent number: 12623032
    Abstract: A safety device includes a tubular body, a needle cover, a release element, and a retainer. The tubular body extends along a longitudinal axis and is configured to receive a medical container. The needle cover is movable relative to said body between a retracted position and a distally extended position to shield the injection needle after activation of the safety device. The release element is configured to move the needle cover from the retracted to the extended position. The retainer is configured to transmit a user's activation force to the needle cover once the injection operation is completed. The needle cover includes a distal abutment surface abutting against a proximal abutment surface of a bump protruding from the body in the retracted position. The body has a first axial slot extending from a distal end of the body, and the bump is circumferentially distant from said first axial slot.

  • Patent number: 12508373
    Abstract: A safety device includes a ring configured to be attached to a distal tip of a medical injection device and a protective shield movably coupled to the ring and configured to adopt a storage position covering the needle tip, an operative position uncovering the needle tip, and a safety position covering the needle tip A protective cap is mounted on the ring to cover the needle tip, and can be separated from the ring prior to use of the device. A retaining system includes a first retaining portion on the protective shield and a second retaining portion on the protective cap, with the first and second retaining portions cooperating in the storage position to prevent the protective shield from moving to its operative position. A releasing system releases the retaining system and is configured to be activated by a manual inward pressure exerted on the protective cap.
