James William Kidner Bradford

Title: James William Kidner Bradford and Drug-Delivery Innovation.

Introduction

James William Kidner Bradford is an inventor associated with Cambridge, Great Britain, and Bristol Myers Squibb. His patent work focuses on drug-delivery devices and methods for preparing them. The supplied information lists 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Bradford’s listed patent work includes inventions titled “Drug cartridge, drug delivery device, and methods for preparing thereof” and “Drug cartridge, drug delivery devices, and methods for preparing thereof.”

One described device uses a monolithic body containing fluid ducts that convey drugs from multiple cartridges toward an outlet. A flexible tether connects the body to a separate needle support, which includes a needle for delivery and adhesive for releasable attachment to a patient. A fluid passageway through the tether carries the drug from the outlet to the needle.

The other described invention concerns preparing a drug-delivery device whose fluid duct is open along one face of its body. The method places an ultraviolet-transmissive barrier over that face and exposes it to ultraviolet radiation, allowing the radiation to pass through the barrier and decontaminate the duct.

Career Highlights

The available information connects Bradford’s inventive work with Bristol Myers Squibb and highlights his contributions to drug-delivery device design and preparation. The described concepts address both the delivery pathway—from drug reservoirs to a patient—and decontamination of fluid ducts during device preparation.

Collaborations

Bradford’s listed coworkers include Martin John McLoughlin and Peter William Heyman. The supplied information does not specify their roles in the patents or the nature of their collaboration.

Conclusion

James William Kidner Bradford’s listed patent work centers on practical drug-delivery systems, including a tethered needle assembly and an ultraviolet-based method for decontaminating device fluid ducts.
