Abstract: A system for delivering tissue anchors into an operative space may include a tissue anchor delivery device including a handle and an elongate shaft, and a tissue anchor magazine separate and detached from the tissue anchor delivery device. The magazine may be configured to be delivered subcutaneously into the operative space separate from the tissue anchor delivery device. Another tissue anchor delivery device may include an elongate shaft having a length from a handle to a distal end of the shaft of at least 10 cm, a tissue anchor magazine coupled to the handle in communication with the shaft, and a tissue anchor advancement mechanism configured to advance a plurality of tissue anchors from the magazine out the distal end of the shaft. The tissue anchor advancement mechanism may be configured to advance only one tissue anchor along the length of the shaft at a time.

Abstract: A delivery device for delivering a medication to a patient includes a catheter with a catheter insertion mechanism, a housing, and a base with a surface for supporting a pump mechanism. A noise dampening member in or on the device inhibits noise and vibrations from the pump mechanism from transferring through the base and housing. The noise dampening member can be an elastomer that is coated on or adhered to the base. The noise dampening member can be molded in or on the base in a suitable location to dampen noise produced by the mechanical component. The noise dampening member can be between the base and the mechanical component or spaced from the mechanical component. The noise dampening member can be molded in a recessed area formed in the base and can have a top face that is recessed, aligned with or project from the top face of the base.

Abstract: A surgical anchor delivery device includes a shaft, a plurality of anchors disposed within the shaft, and a threaded rod disposed within the shaft and threadably engaged with the anchors. Rotation of the threaded rod advances the anchors toward the distal end of the shaft without rotating the anchors relative to the shaft. The delivery device may include an actuation mechanism configured to rotate the threaded rod. A method of delivering the anchors may include advancing the distal end of the shaft to a first location, rotating the threaded rod to advance a first anchor out the distal end of the shaft without rotating the first anchor relative to the shaft, repositioning the distal end of the shaft to a second position, and rotating the threaded rod to advance a second anchor out the distal end of the shaft without rotating the second anchor relative to the shaft.

Abstract: An insulin infusion system is provided with a manual insertion device having a dual retraction spring (230) configuration for automatic introducer needle (222) retraction. A button (200) of the insertion device is used to insert the introducer needle (222) and catheter (202), and once the introducer needle (222) and catheter (202) have been fully inserted, a rotating engagement releases the dual retraction springs (230) such that the introducer needle (222) automatically retracts, leaving the catheter (202) in the body of the user. An end of the introducer needle (222) remains in the inserted catheter (202) and/or in the septum (206) of the inserted catheter (202) to provide an uninterrupted fluid path.

Abstract: An on-body sensor (OBS) (10) having a continuous monitoring (CGM) device is disclosed for use in identifying an analyte, such as glucose in blood or interstitial fluid (ISF), using a biomaterial, such as glucose binding protein (GBP), that is brought into contact with the analyte. The on-body sensor (10) incorporating the CGM device includes a cover (25) which provides protection to the CGM device and includes an integrated output display (27). The output display (27) can visually provide data received from the CGM device, to the user without the need for a separate data receiving device.

Abstract: An on-body sensor (OBS) (5610) having a continuous monitoring (CGM) device is disclosed for use in identifying an analyte, such as glucose in blood or interstitial fluid (ISF), using a biomaterial, such as glucose binding protein (GBP), that is brought into contact with the analyte. The on-body sensor (5610) incorporating the CGM device includes a housing (5625?) which provides protection to the CGM device while providing comfort to a user wearing the device. The OBS also includes an adhesive structure that provides a comfortable, discreet and secure user experience.
