  • Patent number: 11896806
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a finger grip (1) arranged to be connected to a syringe barrel having a plunger and a plunger rod for driving said plunger. The finger grip comprises a body having a lower side with finger supporting surfaces (13) for supporting fingers of a user during handling and an engagement member (5) being moveable between an inactive position where the engagement member is arranged not to engage with the plunger rod of the syringe barrel and an active position where the engagement member is arranged to engage with a grooved surface on the plunger rod of the syringe such that feedback is given to a user as the plunger is moved relative to the finger grip. An activation member (7) for moving the engagement member from said inactive position to said active position is built-in into the finger grip.

  • Patent number: 11376369
    Abstract: A syringe including a barrel, a plunger moveably arranged within said barrel, and a plunger rod for driving said plunger. A first engagement member is arranged at the plunger rod, such that a longitudinal movement of the plunger rod yields a rotational movement of said first engagement member. The first engagement member includes a grooved surface. A second engagement member is arranged at the barrel to engage with said grooved surface of the first engagement member, wherein the first engagement member is arranged to move relative to the second engagement member, such that feedback is given to a user as the plunger rod is moved relative to the barrel for driving said plunger. The first engagement member is arranged at said plunger rod with a predetermined play there between.

  • Patent number: 10835684
    Abstract: A syringe including a barrel, a plunger moveably arranged within the barrel and a plunger rod for driving the plunger, and an engagement member arranged at the barrel to engage with a grooved surface on the plunger rod. This will create feedback given to a user as the plunger rod is moved relative to the barrel for driving the plunger within the barrel. The barrel and the engagement member are arranged relative to each other such that the engagement member, due to the engagement with the grooved surface of the plunger rod, will move solely in a direction generally perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the plunger rod as the plunger rod is moved relative to the barrel.

  • Publication number: 20140378911
    Abstract: An injection device is provided for delivering liquid compositions, such as viscous hyaluronic acid gels. The injection device includes a generally elongated housing having first and second ends. The housing is configured to receive an exchangeable cartridge having the liquid composition. The cartridge is received proximal to the first end of the housing. A drive mechanism is arranged within the housing and includes an electric motor and a power source, typically a rechargeable battery. The motor is coupled to a plunger rod which acts on the cartridge received in the housing to expel the liquid composition contained in the cartridge. A first actuation device for actuating the drive mechanism is provided on an upper side of the housing proximal to the first end of the housing, and a second actuation device for actuating the drive mechanism is provided at the second end of the housing.
