  • Patent number: 10828427
    Abstract: The invention relates to an injection system or a needle assembly in which a needle cannula secured to an injection device is shielded by a axially movable needle shield. Should the needle cannula be exposed to a force above a predetermined value e.g. if a user drops the injection device onto a hard surface, a locking mechanism will automatically lock and block further movement of the axially movable needle shield and thus render the injection device unusable.

  • Patent number: 10620423
    Abstract: Disclosed is a periscopic device for examining an eye of a person with an inwardly squinting eye (esotropia). The periscopic device includes a tube with two mirrors arranged at opposite ends of the tube. The mirrors are arranged so that when the person looks through the periscopic device with the inwardly squinting eye, the two mirrors deflect the line of sight of the person toward an object reflected in the second mirror. To account for the squint of the eye, either a base out prism can be used to deflect the line of sight toward the first mirror, or the two mirrors can be arranged non-parallel to each other. With the inwardly squinting eye focused on the reflected object, the other eye can be examined. Methods of using the periscopic device are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180003942
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a periscopic device (3) for examining an eye of a person having an inwardly squinting eye (esotropia). The periscopic device (3) comprises a tube (4), a first mirror (5) arranged inside the first end (6) of the tube (4), and a second mirror (7) arranged inside the second end (8) of the tube (4). In one embodiment of the invention, the first and the second mirrors (5,7) are arranged so that when the person looks through the periscopic device (3) with the inwardly squinting eye (2) while the other eye (1) is being examined, the first and the second mirrors (5,7) (10,11) each deflects the line of sight of the person by an angle of approximately 90°. The periscopic device (3) further comprises a base out prism (9) arranged in front of the first mirror (5) so that, during use of the periscopic device (3), the line of sight of the inwardly squinting eye (2) is deflected towards the first mirror (5).
