Patent number: 10159805Abstract: A needle guard device mountable to a pre-filled syringe in its ready-to-fill state. The device includes a device shield interconnected to a lock collar with flexible member and biased to move relative to the lock collar. The lock collar interfaces with the syringe neck to attach the device to the syringe. As the device shield moves proximally, rotation arms of the lock collar interact with angled cutouts in the device shield, causing the device shield to rotate relative to the lock collar and disengaging one or more keys on the device shield from one or more keyways in the lock collar triggering the device shield to move from a first configuration in which the device shield is retractable to expose a syringe sharp to a second configuration in which the device shield is fixedly positioned to cover the syringe sharp.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2016Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Safety Syringes, Inc.Inventor: Ryan Schoonmaker

Patent number: 10137238Abstract: A flip-open multi-pack assembly which contains a plurality of new pen needles via a rectangular or tube-shaped, hinged shell housing, wherein new pen needles are stored in a plurality of user accessible openings each having a sterility barrier formed by covers that cover the non-patient end of the openings where the new pen needles are contained. Used pen needles are returned and stored in openings accessible by rotatably opening the shell housing. One or more of the openings within first and second opposite ends of the housing shell include a slidable internal holder configured to releasably secure the inner shield of the new pen needle, and subsequently be pulled forward when the new pen needle is removed and locked at a forward position, to create an interior space, accessible from an opposite end when the hinged housing is opened, for a used pen needle to be inserted and stored.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Ira Spool, Cole Constantineau, Ryan Schoonmaker, Sean P.

Patent number: 9950109Abstract: An infusion set has an adhesively secured main hub, and a slidable top cover, needle hub and angled or cantilevered needle that can be used for performing an intradermal needle insertion precisely targeting the upper 3 mm of skin surface, for example, one that substantially duplicates the Mantoux insertion technique, for injecting into the intradermal layers of skin, while maintaining a degree of comfort to the user. By sliding the top cover, the cantilevered needle is loaded and released or the angled needle is slid into an insertion site, while flexible arms and adhesive are used to stretch and/or flatten a skin surface, or otherwise create skin tension, at the insertion site.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2011Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Cole Constantineau, Ryan Schoonmaker, Michel Bruehwiler, Eric Bené

Patent number: 9844635Abstract: An infusion set has a retraction dial that can be removably assembled with the infusion set and access a threaded needle hub contained therein such that the dial can be used to advance or retract a needle hub and an inserted needle to a more precisely controlled insertion depth to deliver insulin or other medicament intradermally (i.e. to the upper 3 mm of skin surface). Position of the inserted needle can be maintained by providing a separated and isolated needle hub, main base and main hub of the infusion set that can isolate the inserted needle from external forces such that the needle can be maintained at a depth to deliver content to the upper 3 mm of skin surface during normal use.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2014Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Ryan Schoonmaker, Cole Constantineau, Michel Bruehwiler

Patent number: 9821113Abstract: An infusion set adapted to be secured to a skin surface includes a fixed base member connectable to the skin surface and a movable member. A needle or cannula is connected to the movable member and movable relative to the fixed base member. The movable member is movable from a first position in which the needle or cannula is not exposed externally of the fixed base member to a second position in which the needle or cannula is exposed externally of the fixed base member. A release member retains the movable member in the first position. Removal of the release member allows movement of the movable slide member to the second position.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Russell Cole, Eric Bene, Ryan Schoonmaker, Melissa Rosen, Michel Bruehwiler, Cole Constantineau, Daniel Yasevac, Judy Walish
