Abstract: There is provided a needle comprising a needle tube extending along a central axis between proximal and distal ends of the needle, the needle tube defining a lumen, and the distal end defining an opening into the lumen. The needle comprises a point, a cutting edge, and a heel extending between inner and outer surfaces of the needle tube. At least a region of the heel extends substantially orthogonally to the central axis to provide a non-cutting edge of the distal end.

Abstract: An infusion device comprising a cannula and a housing for containing the first cannula. The cannula is movable from a retracted position within the housing to an extended position in which a distal portion of the cannula extends from the housing for insertion into soft tissue of a patient and to form an anchor therein for securing the infusion device to an infusion site.

Abstract: A needle inserter assembly, particularly an assembly including a needle mounted to a support member for engaging a base member. The assembly includes a support member including a body portion and a needle, wherein the needle includes a lumen, a distal portion having a tip configured to facilitate insertion into a soft tissue of a patient, and a proximal portion mounted to the body portion so that the proximal portion extends along a longitudinal axis of the body portion. The assembly also includes a base member including a receiving portion configured to receivingly engaging the support member as the support member is moveable from a first position, in which the tip engages a first guide element within the base member, to a second position in which the tip extends out of an opening provided through the base member.

Abstract: An infusion device having a cannula and a housing for containing the cannula. The cannula is movable from a first retracted position within the housing to an extended position in which a distal portion of the cannula extends from the housing for insertion into soft tissue of a patient and wherein the cannula forms a coil when within the housing.

Abstract: A patch pump for delivering a therapeutic agent to a patient in a subcutaneous manner, the patch pump comprising: a reservoir unit configured to store a therapeutic agent, a delivery unit having a cannula arranged to deliver the therapeutic agent to a patient in a subcutaneous manner, a pump unit arranged to pump the therapeutic agent along a fluid flow path extending from the reservoir unit to the cannula, and a filter secured in the fluid flow path and configured to filter the therapeutic agent prior to delivery to the patient.

Abstract: The application relates to an infusion set comprising an infusion part (1) comprising a base part (3) having a main plane, a head part (6) extending from the main plane of the base part and a cannula (12) extending from the base part, first fastening means, a connector (2) having a plane being parallel to and above the main piano of the base part, and having one or more arms (15), said arms being fastened to the connector at a first end, and being free in a second opposite end, and a tube (14), guide means (7, 16) second fastening means (8, 17) being in the form of projecting connector retention devices (17) positioned on the arms of the connector adapted to engage with retention devices (8) extending from the base part, where the plane of the connector can be tilted to a distance from the base part causing the second to be displaced to a distance from that is larger than the height (h) of the retention devices.

Abstract: The invention concerns an inserter device for inserting a medical device into the subcutaneous or intramuscular area of a patient. More specifically, this invention relates to an inserter device comprising means for providing a controlled and defined acceleration and deceleration of a penetrating member. The inserter device (200, 500) according to the invention comprises a housing (201, 221, 251; 501, 502, 503) encompassing said penetrating member (105, 243), a rotating member (204, 300, 400, 512) and driving means (203, 561) for rotating the rotating member (204, 300, 400, 512) around a rotating axis. The rotating member (204, 300, 400, 512) comprises transformation means (216, 246, 521) transforming the rotational movement into a longitudinal movement of the penetrating member (105, 243) in the direction of insertion and the transformation means (226, 246, 521) comprises controlling means providing a controlled variation of the velocity of the penetrating member (105, 243) in the direction of insertion.
