Publication number: 20210001037Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for delivering fluid into a patient's body. In an exemplary embodiment, the device may include a syringe cartridge and a syringe driver that may be coupled to the cartridge. The cartridge may include a housing including a proximal end, a distal end, and defining an interior, the cartridge further including a piston slidably disposed within the interior for delivering fluid within the interior through a port in the distal end. The driver may include a plunger for advancing the piston within the interior of the housing, a source of pressurized fluid, a valve, and an actuator member coupled to the valve for selectively opening a flow path from the source to the plunger to control flow of the pressurized fluid to advance the plunger to deliver fluid from the interior of the housing at a desired rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2020Publication date: January 7, 2021Inventors: Jack R. Auld, Matthew Flowers, Matthew McCawley, John C. Huculak, Andrew Scheiber, James Lescoulie

Patent number: 10219695Abstract: A first light source producing a first light beam with a first intensity and a second light source producing a second light beam with a second intensity. A light filter device receives the first light beam and transmits a filtered portion of the first light beam. A first angling device reflects the filtered portion of the first light beam in a first angled direction and a second angling device reflects the second light beam in a second angled direction. A mirror receives and in turn reflects the filtered portion of the first light beam reflected by the first angling device and the second light beam reflected by the second angling device to form a converged light beam with a third intensity.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: DOHENY EYE INSTITUTEInventors: Prashant Bhadri, James Lescoulie, Sophia Fang, Matthew McCormick, Ralph Kerns, Mark Humayun, Aaron Barnes

Patent number: 10172706Abstract: Intraocular lens inserters and methods of use are disclosed. An example intraocular lens inserter may include an interior assembly having a movable member disposed therein. The movable member is movable in response to a pressure of a compressed gas. In response to the pressure of the compressed gas, the moveable member pressurizes a substantially incompressible fluid. The pressurized substantially incompressible fluid is used to advance a plunger. The plunger advances an intraocular lens through a lumen for insertion into an eye.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: Jack Robert Auld, John Christopher Huculak, Matthew Douglas McCawley, Matthew Braden Flowers, James Lescoulie

Patent number: 9764088Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for filling syringes, e.g., for use during pneumatic retinopexy or other medical procedures. In one embodiment, the system includes a housing carrying a gas canister including an outlet communicating with a fluid path extending from the outlet to a syringe cavity. A syringe includes a barrel receivable in the syringe cavity such that a port of the barrel communicates with the fluid path. An actuator is provided on the housing for selectively opening the outlet of the gas canister to deliver gas therein along the fluid path into the interior of the barrel, thereby causing the plunger to move from a distal position to a proximal position.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: ALTAVIZ, LLCInventors: John C.
