Patent number: 8920365Abstract: A sealing membrane 20 on a nozzle 10 for a jet injection device is adapted to seal off the nozzle orifice 12 by having a sealing rim 22 surrounding the nozzle orifice 12, which ensures a distinct closure of the nozzle orifice 12 to protect the nozzle geometry against damage and dirt and to protect the drug 30 contained in the cartridge 10 against contamination. The sealing rim 22 can narrowly enclose the nozzle orifice 12, or in case an adhesive 14 is applied to the nozzle face to ensure skin retention during injection, the sealing rim 22 can run in the middle of the adhesive covered area or entirely outside the adhesive covered area to protect the adhesive as well. A third sealing member 23 can also be provided to give a third distinct closure assurance in case the primary and secondary sealing membrane 20 is damaged. The third sealing member 23 can be one or more plug(s) adapted to press fit inside the nozzle orifice.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2007Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventor: Jens Ulrik Poulsen

Publication number: 20120082724Abstract: Solid pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral injection comprising a binder and at least one therapeutic agent.

Publication number: 20110270217Abstract: A skin retention device 10 for a medical jet-injection unit 20 comprises a contact face provided with adhesive 12 in the area surrounding and close to the injection opening(s) 11 of the nozzle 21 which ensures god contact between the nozzle 21 and the skin 30 of a subject in the area chosen for an injection. Consequently the injection force can be lowered dramatically. In case of two-stage jet-injections, the initial injection force can be lowered because the skin retention close to the injection point significantly reduces the energy consuming elastic expansion of the skin 30 in the injection area, and the second injection force can be lowered because of the high degree of fixed positioning of the injection opening of the nozzle 21 relative to the injection channel in the skin 30 made during the initial injection stage. Thus a high degree of injection safety is achieved, minimizing the risk of whet shots, while skin lift and lower injection force decreases the risk of damage of the underlying tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2011Publication date: November 3, 2011Applicant: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: TORBEN STROEM HANSEN, Jens Ulrik Poulsen

Patent number: 7803128Abstract: This invention relates to a doser comprising a syringe (2) with a needle (3) which extends beyond the doser (1), which comprises an engagement face (4) in the vicinity of the needle so that the engagement face rests against the surface of the tissue into which the needle is inserted. Detector means (5) are provided on said engagement face to sample signals on the skin of the patient. The invention further provides means (13) for receiving external information related to health monitoring of a patient. This provides a doser that may record heart rate, EKG, BGM and hypo-alarm administered medicine. The doser may further be arranged to calculate an appropriate dose of medication on the basis of a number of acquired inputs.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2007Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Lars Hofmann Christensen, Jens Ulrik Poulsen, Jan H.
