  • Patent number: 8287516
    Abstract: The invention relates to an infusion set for an intermittent or continuous administration of a therapeutical substance, such as insulin. The infusion set comprises an infusion part (OB) for insertion into a patient and a connector (OA) for connecting the infusion part with a medical device through a tube (7), the connector being axially displaceable relative to the infusion part. The infusion part comprises an adhesive support (1), a base part (2) with a first set of guiding means (13) and at least two retention devices (4) for locking the connector to the infusion part, a cannula extending from said base part and being in fluid communication with a cavity which is optionally covered with a membrane, the cavity is further adapted to receive a second cannula extending from the connector, which second cannula is in fluid communication with the tube.

  • Patent number: 8221355
    Abstract: The invention relates to an injector device for an infusion set for intermittent or continuous administration of a therapeutical substance, such as insulin. The injector device for the subcutaneous introduction of the cannula of an infusion part into the skin of a patient comprises a housing, a back, longitudinally extending guiding means, a member which is longitudinally slidable within the housing, an insertion needle for insertion of the cannula, a spring located between the back of the housing and the longitudinally slidable member, locking means for maintaining the spring in a compressed state and release means for disengaging the locking means. The device further comprises a pivoting member which can be swung from a position in which the pivoting member allows for insertion of the needle into a position in which it embraces the needle.

  • Patent number: 8162892
    Abstract: An injector device assembly and a method for making an injector device assembly are provided. The injector assembly includes a sterile insertion set with a housing and a hollow cannula and a device housing. A plunger is slidably received within the device housing for movement between an advanced position and a retracted position wherein the cannula is transcutaneously placed upon movement of the plunger from the advanced position to the retracted position. The device housing has a forward end defining a surface of placement against the skin of a patient with the device housing in a predetermined orientation relative to the patient's skin. The injector device assembly includes a spring for urging the plunger toward the advanced position and a releasable cover member covering the forward end. The cover member and the device housing assure sterile conditions of the insertion set within the device housing prior to removal of the cover member.

  • Patent number: 8152771
    Abstract: An injector device for transcutaneously placing a hollow cannula of a subcutaneous infusion set is disclosed. The injector device includes a plunger slidably received within the device housing for movement between an advanced position and a retracted position, the plunger having an insertion needle secured thereto by a stable connection preventing loss of the insertion needle during use of the device. The insertion needle receives and supports the cannula of the subcutaneous infusion set in a position with the cannula oriented for transcutaneous placement upon movement of the plunger from the retracted position to the retracted position.

  • Publication number: 20090198190
    Abstract: A Mounting Pad, an Adhesive Device Comprising such Mounting Pad, and Methods of Applying such Devices to a Patient. A mounting pad having an adhesive component having an adhesive surface, said surface being provided with a release layer, said release layer having at least three projecting parts one of which is a tongue projecting along an essentially central axis of the mounting pad. The mounting pad may be used for adhesive devices, preferably injector devices for the subcutaneous introduction of the cannula of the infusion part of an infusion set into the skin of a patient. The method of applying such a device enables a reduction of the risk of damaging or contamination the adhesive surface during automatic or manual removal of the release layer when the infusion set is applied to a patient.
