  • Patent number: 12708717
    Abstract: A cap for an injection device includes a removable needle boot for covering a needle of a syringe within the injection device. The cap comprises a cap body and a first boot engagement portion. The first boot engagement portion is movable relative to the cap body and comprises a first pinch portion. The first pinch portion is configured such that application of compressive force to the first pinch portion effects engagement of the first boot engagement portion with the needle boot for removal of the needle boot with the cap as it is removed from the injection device.

  • Publication number: 20250332068
    Abstract: A filling aid assembly (1) for filling a liquid into a reservoir (101) of a patch pump (100) comprising a piston (102) arranged within the reservoir (101) comprises a lid part (2) configured to be arranged on top of the patch pump (100), the lid part having an opening (21) for accessing the reservoir when the lid part (2) is arranged on top of the patch pump (100) to enable fluidic exchange between the reservoir (101) and a pre-filled container (10) containing the liquid. The filling aid assembly further comprises a dial ring (4) and a transmission gear assembly (5) that is in engagement with an internal gearing (41) of the dial ring (4) to translate a rotational movement of the dial ring (4) into a displacement of the piston (102) within the reservoir (101).

  • Publication number: 20250281358
    Abstract: Various exemplary methods. systems. and devices for vial holders are provided. The vial holders are assembled from housing components with a two-step snap closure, where a first step partially assembles the vial holders into a stable first configuration to form vial slots and shelf platforms for case of receiving vials. The vial holders are advantageous for holding and labeling vials containing temperature sensitive therapeutic formulations that need to be handled under conditions limited by time and dexterity by permitting partial pre-assembly and labeling at a remote location and facilitating final assembly with minimal effort. In some embodiments. the vial holders incorporate tamper resistant structures that physically shield the two-step snap closure from external access.
