Systems and methods for customizing medical tapes from a roll stock at customer use sites are provided. The system includes a tape converting machine where an adhesion modification mechanism is configured to modify adhesion properties of the tape from the roll stock, automatically or based on received customization instructions.

On-demand manufacturing for medical tapes

A system includes a computing device a personal protective equipment (PPE) device. The PPE device is configured to be worn by a worker and includes and at least one physiological sensor configured to generate physiological data indicative of one or more physiological characteristics of a worker. The computing device is configured to determine a safety risk score for the worker based at least in part on the physiological data and a risk profile associated with the worker.

Personal protective equipment and safety management system having active worker sensing and assessment

A microneedle injection and infusion apparatus, and a method of using same. The apparatus can include a housing, a microneedle array holder for holding a microneedle array, and a shuttle that holds a cartridge (e.g., that contains an active agent). The microneedle array holder can be movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The shuttle can be movable between a first position in which the cartridge is not in fluid communication with a fluid path and a second position in which the cartridge is in fluid communication with the fluid path. The apparatus can further include an actuator movable between a first position and a second position. The method can include moving the actuator to its second position to allow the shuttle to move toward its second position, wherein movement of the shuttle toward its second position allows the microneedle array holder to move to its extended position.

The present disclosure relates to apparatus, assemblies, combinations, and methods for infusing fluids by hollow microneedles.

Hollow microneedle arrays

In an example, a method includes capturing one or more friction ridge images of a finger at an instance in time, the one or more friction ridge images including a plurality of perspectives of the finger. The method also includes determining, from the one or more friction ridge images, a rolled fingerprint representation of the finger, the rolled fingerprint representation comprising data from the plurality of perspectives, and outputting the rolled fingerprint representation.

Contactless rolled fingerprints

A container is provided. The container includes a body, a first plug, and a second plug. The body has a first end, a second end, and a bypass with a length L disposed between the ends. The first and second plugs are slideably disposed in the body and define a first compartment. A second compartment is in the body between the second plug and the second end. The second plug has a first edge; a second edge; and a plurality of primary conduits, each primary conduit extending from first openings in the side wall to second openings in the bottom surface. The bottom surface does not define a plane oriented substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. A distance D extends longitudinally from the first edge to the second edge. A distance E extends longitudinally from the first edge to the first opening. D&#x2265;L and E&#x3c;L.

A microneedle injection apparatus comprising an inverted actuator. The apparatus can include a housing having a base and a cavity, and a microneedle array holder configured to hold a microneedle array within the cavity of the housing. The microneedle array holder can be movable between a retracted position, and an extended position. The apparatus can further include an actuator movable with respect to the housing and the microneedle array holder between a first position and a second position to cause the microneedle array holder to move from the retracted position to the extended position. At least a portion of the actuator can be located on a skin-facing side of the apparatus (e.g., adjacent the base of the housing) and can be configured to be moved from the first position to the second position in response to the apparatus being pressed toward the skin surface.

Microneedle injection apparatus comprising an inverted actuator

An article comprising at least one microneedle is provided. The article can comprises a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side comprises a central cavity portion and a platform portion, with at least one microneedle extending therefrom, wherein the platform portion is not coplanar with the central cavity portion. The platform portion substantially surrounds the central cavity portion. The at least one microneedle comprises a body comprising an outer surface; a base segment having a base and a first shape; a tip segment having a tip and a second shape, wherein the second shape is distinct from the first shape; a transition plane that delineates the base segment and the tip segment; and a central axis. Methods of using the article are also provided.

Adhesive assemblies and microneedle injection apparatuses comprising same. The apparatus () can include a housing () having a base and an opening () formed in the base; and an applicator comprising a microneedle array (), the microneedle array comprising a first major surface () and microneedles (). The applicator can be movable between a first position, and a second position in which at least a portion of the microneedle array extends through the opening in the base. The apparatus can further include an adhesive assembly (), which can be adhered to the base of the housing. The adhesive assembly can include an extension () that extends at least partially into the area defined by the opening, such that when the applicator is in the second position, at least a portion of the first major surface of the microneedle array is in contact with the extension of the adhesive assembly.

Adhesive assemblies and microneedle injection apparatuses comprising same

A container and methods for storing and mixing a two-component composition is provided. The container includes a body, a first plug and a second plug. The body has a first end, a second end, and a bypass with a length L disposed between the first and second ends. The first and second plugs are slidably disposed in the body and define a first compartment. A second compartment is disposed in the body between the second plug and the second end. The second plug has a first edge, a second edge, and a plurality of spaced-apart primary conduits extending through the second plug. Each primary conduit has a separate first opening. A distance D extends longitudinally from the first edge to the second edge and a distance E extends longitudinally from the first edge to the first opening that is nearest the first edge. D&#x2265;L and E&#x3c;L.

A microneedle injection apparatus comprising a dual cover. The apparatus can include a housing having a base and a cavity; a microneedle array comprising a first side comprising a plurality of microneedles; and a microneedle array holder configured to hold a microneedle array and located in the housing. The microneedle array holder can be movable between a retracted position, and an extended position. The apparatus can further include a cover configured to be positioned to cover the opening in the base of the housing. The cover can include (i) a first portion configured to cover at least a portion of the base of the housing adjacent the opening, and (ii) a second portion configured to be received in the cavity of the housing and further configured to cover the plurality of microneedles on the microneedle array when the microneedle array holder is in the retracted position.
