  • Patent number: 11712526
    Abstract: A safety device for an injection syringe including a syringe support, a protective sheath for protecting an injection needle carried by the injection syringe, the protective sheath being mounted to slide relative to the syringe support between an injection position in which the needle is uncovered, and a protection position in which the needle is covered, the protective sheath having an initial grip surface enabling the device to be gripped by a user, the initial grip surface being a projection that extends outward from the protective sheath, and a return spring for urging the sheath into the protection position. The sheath also includes an extender member for extending the initial grip surface, being a separate piece from the protective sheath, attached to the protective sheath in such a manner as to present an enlarged grip surface, larger than the initial grip surface.

  • Patent number: 11642465
    Abstract: A part of a device for injecting a liquid product having an end sleeve and a syringe support which is able to move with respect to the end sleeve. The syringe support is designed to bear an injection syringe fitted with a removable protective cap. A deformable ring is kinematically connected to the syringe support. This ring can be deformed elastically between a configuration which is designed to axially immobilize the injection syringe in the syringe support, and a configuration designed to allow the protective cap to pass through the deformable ring.

  • Patent number: 11612729
    Abstract: An implant injection device includes an injection needle, a receiver housing receiving at least a first implant and a second implant, an injection mechanism, including a pushing rod arranged upstream from the implants and configured to push the implants through the injection needle between an initial position and a final position in which the implants are injected, a pushing device for pushing on the pushing rod, configured to exert a force to move the pushing rod from the initial position to the final position, an intermediate stop device holding the pushing rod in an intermediate position and opposing the force exerted by the pushing device when a stroke of the pushing rod reaches a predetermined distance corresponding to a length of injection of the first implant, and an actuator for actuation by a user, configured to release the pushing rod from the intermediate position to the final position.

  • Patent number: 11577031
    Abstract: An automatic injection device includes an end sleeve and a syringe support mounted slidably with respect to the end sleeve. The syringe support is intended to carry an injection syringe provided with an injection needle and with a cap for protecting the injection needle. The automatic injection device includes a membrane formed by at least two locking elements which are mounted so as to slide substantially radially in the end sleeve between a configuration permitting passage of the cap for protecting the injection syringe, in which configuration limit stops of the at least two locking elements, intended to cooperate with a shoulder of the injection syringe, are moved away from each other, and a configuration permitting immobilization of the injection syringe, in which configuration the limit stops of the at least two locking elements are moved towards each other.

  • Patent number: 11419989
    Abstract: A removal member for removing a needle protective cap includes a housing having a longitudinal axis and receiving the cap along an insertion direction, the housing having a first support area and a second support area the first area being carried by a blocking element, movable relative to the housing between a cap insertion configuration, in which the orthogonal projections of the first and second areas in a transverse plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis are separated by an insertion distance, and a cap blocking configuration, in which the first and second areas are located in separate transverse planes, and in which the orthogonal projections of the first and second areas in said transverse plane are separated by a blocking distance less than the insertion distance and adapted to block the translation of the cap relative to the removal member in a removal direction opposite to the insertion direction.

  • Patent number: 11285270
    Abstract: An assistance device for assisting in operation of an injection syringe including a syringe body carrying an injection needle covered with a protective cap. The assistance device includes a support for housing the syringe body, and a removal device for removing the protective cap, having a gripping member to be maneuvered by a user to remove this protective cap from the injection needle, and at least one extractor cooperating with the protective cap during removal of the protective cap. The removal device also has complementary members for controlling the extractor, which can be moved relative to each other in a relative engagement movement, to move the extractor between a reference configuration retracted relative to the protective cap and a cooperation configuration cooperating with the protective cap. The relative engagement movement is independent of the maneuvering movement applied by the user to the gripping member to remove the protective cap.

  • Patent number: 11224694
    Abstract: An automatic injection device including an injection syringe equipped with a syringe body and with a piston rod mounted movably in this syringe body so as to cover an injection stroke, a piston control member capable of changing between a configuration in which it is in engagement with the piston rod and a configuration in which it is disengaged from this piston rod, mechanism for moving the piston control member between its two configurations with respect to the piston rod. The mechanism for moving the control member between its two configurations includes a camway carried by a disengagement member and a cam carried by the control member. The disengagement member is movable with respect to the piston rod and the syringe body after the end of the injection stroke, in such a way as to cause the camway to interact with the cam.
