Publication number: 20240139025Abstract: Caps and other luer taper medical devices having a volume displacing protrusion are described. The volume displacing protrusion can extend in an axial direction away from an end wall inside the female hub and be configured to create a seal that can be substantially airtight with a distal end of a syringe that is engaged with the cap or other luer taper medical device. The volume displacing protrusion of the cap or other luer taper medical device can create a seal with a distal end of a syringe before an outside surface of the syringe tip creates a seal with the luer taper of the female hub.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventor: Leonid E. Lerner

Patent number: 11865039Abstract: Injection devices for delivering pharmaceutical compositions into the eye are described. Some devices include a resistance component for controllably deploying an injection needle through the eye wall. The resistance component may be disposed on the injector device, or on a portion of the injection device housing, or on a drug reservoir. Some devices may be removably attached to a drug reservoir, for example, through a luer connector. Other devices may comprise internal luer seal for securely connecting a drug conduit of the device to the luer cavity of a drug reservoir. Yet other devices may comprise a priming-enabling element to facilitate the drug priming of a shielded needle. Related methods and systems comprising the devices are also described.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: OcuJect, LLCInventor: Leonid E. Lerner

Publication number: 20230226280Abstract: An injection device includes one or more of a barrel having an open proximal end, an open distal end, and a sidewall therebetween; a plunger; and a conduit or connector. The barrel may be configured to house a volume of therapeutic agent. The plunger may have a proximal end, a distal end, and an elongate body. The conduit or connector may be operably attached to the open distal end of the barrel. The distal end of the barrel can include a variable inner diameter segment configured such that movement of the plunger to the variable inner diameter segment of the distal end of the barrel creates an audible and/or tactile feedback sensation to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventor: Leonid E. Lerner

Publication number: 20220015945Abstract: Devices for delivering pharmaceutical formulations into the eye are described. The devices may be integrated to include features that allow safe and atraumatic manipulation of the devices with one hand. For example, accurate placement, including proper angulation, of the device on the eye and injection of a pharmaceutical formulation into the eye can be performed using one hand. The devices may also include improved safety features. For example, the devices may include an actuation mechanism that controls the rate and depth of injection into the eye. Some devices include a dynamic resistance component capable of adjusting the amount of pressure applied to the eye surface. Related methods and systems comprising the devices are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2021Publication date: January 20, 2022Inventor: Leonid E. Lerner
