Patent number: 12673173Abstract: A medicament delivery device comprises first and second medicament carriers each comprising said doses of medicament contained in multiple individual compartments spaced along a carrier strip and sealed by a sealing layer, first and second opening mechanisms, a take-up spool. Each separated sealing layer having a path of travel between a respective one of the first and second opening mechanisms and the take-up spool. A tension control element is in contact with each of the separated sealing layer. At least a part of the tension control element movable by a biasing force, which is exerted on the tension control element by the separated sealing layers as a result of any inequality in the tensions of the separated sealing layers wound by the take-up spool, to alter the length of the path of travel of each separated sealing layer to substantially equalise the tensions in the separated sealing layers.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: July 7, 2026Assignee: TTP PLCInventors: David Cottenden, Desmond Cheung, Rob Selby, Catherine Wyman, Rob May, Chris Groombridge

Publication number: 20210346140Abstract: A penile ring, a penile ring adapted for closing the urethra to prevent stress incontinence, having a ring-shaped body configured for surrounding a penis, the ring-shaped body comprising an upper part (10) including a backstop (20) extending in an arc around the upper part, and a lower part (30) including one or more expandable compression pads (40). The penile ring comprises a sensor (110) to detect urine flow in the urethra and to provide a signal that triggers the compression pads to expand inwards to occlude the urethra and thereby preventing flow of urine.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2019Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Alon Greenenko, David John Cottenden, Roderick Marcus van den Bergh, Rob May
