Publication number: 20210178035Abstract: Devices and systems disclosed herein may include a negative pressure pump that includes a reservoir defining a lumen and a longitudinal axis, a piston, and a drive assembly comprising a spring. Motion of the spring may move the piston along the longitudinal axis of the reservoir to create a negative pressure within the reservoir. Methods of manufacturing a negative pressure pump and using a negative pressure pump to remove fluid from a target site are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2019Publication date: June 17, 2021Inventors: Eric HASSENPFLUG, John BARTHOLOMEW, Steven MADLAND, David HOLLEY, John P.

Patent number: 10058657Abstract: Injection devices with ergonomic enhancements are disclosed. Generally, the injection devices include large oversized grips, including flanges at the base end of the device for enhanced stability. Push-type and squeeze-type devices are described, as well as manual injectors and auto-injectors. Such injection devices are useful for delivering a fluid (e.g. medication) to a patient.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2012Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: Michael Scott Ulrich, Andrew Vankirk Sweeney, Christopher H. Muenzer, Timothy M. Blum, Corrie Bennison, Christopher P. McKenzie

Publication number: 20140324021Abstract: An injection system including a wearable component (e.g., a patch) adapted to be worn by a user, and a medication delivery component (e.g., injection device) configured to cooperate with the wearable component to deliver medication to the user. The wearable component can provide a target area to the user for targeting the medication delivery component during use, and further serve to prepare the injection site to minimize the potential for injection site reactions. Both the wearable component and the medication delivery component can include electronics and/or other devices for detecting and/or communication information regarding usage of the injection system including dose amount, frequency, time, etc. The system can be configured to communicate such information to a third party, such as a health care professional.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2012Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: Michael Scott Ulrich, Andrew Vankirk Sweeney

Patent number: 7699161Abstract: An ophthalmic lens package comprises a shell having an internal cavity accessible through an opening in the shell and a drainage member that divides the internal chamber into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The drainage member is permeable to aqueous liquids and is arranged to allow drainage of liquid from the upper chamber to the lower chamber. This arrangement of the ophthalmic lens package allows the consumer to retrieve the lens from the upper chamber without handling any significant amount of saline solution.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2005Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.Inventors: Michael Tokarski, James Peck, Edward Dzwill, George Brock, Roger W.

Publication number: 20040236284Abstract: An assembly mountable to an injector, such as an injection pen, to hide the needle of the injector from view. The assembly includes a retractable cover that is slidably mounted on a base sleeve that is releaseably connected to the injector. A spring between the cover and the base sleeve biases the cover toward a forward position at which it surrounds and hides the axially fixed needle from view.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2004Publication date: November 25, 2004Inventors: Shannon Marie-Lynn Hoste, Scott Forster Percy, Michael Scott Ulrich, Grant Richard Wilson
