Improved systems and methods for medicine delivery, and in particular, improved insulin pen needles and related devices are provided. Smart injection devices record and transfer data including medicine level, delivered dose, dose confirmation, and dose time and date. Additional data captured may include glucose concentration, insulin level, carbohydrates ingested, stress level, exercise, blood pressure, and glucose high and low excursion events. Various means of data collection and analysis are provided and systems can identify and flag patients who require intervention. Smart sleeves and add sensing capability to standard insulin pens. Pen needles are provided with sensing capability to confirm and measure doses delivered by insulin pen. A two-part pen cap include a primary sleeve that connects to the insulin pen and an end cap that provides for capturing the time of dose delivery, and monitoring the hold time for a dose delivery after plunger movement.

An on-body sensor (OBS) () having a continuous monitoring (CGM) device is disclosed for use in identifying an analyte, such as glucose in blood or interstitial fluid (ISF), using a biomaterial, such as glucose binding protein (GBP), that is brought into contact with the analyte. The on-body sensor () incorporating the CGM device includes a housing (') which provides protection to the CGM device while providing comfort to a user wearing the device. The OBS also includes an adhesive structure that provides a comfortable, discreet and secure user experience.

Continuous glucose monitoring on-body sensor

A hair removal device comprising a handle enclosing a collapsible reservoir a, said hair removal device having at least on pressure applicator, such as in the form of a mono-stable button, wherein the mono-stable button is adapted to pressurize air in the handle, thereby collapsing the collapsible reservoir and causing fluid to be expelled from the hair removal device.

Fluid dispensing hair removal device

Optical systems are disclosed for use in identifying an analyte, such as glucose in blood or interstitial fluid (ISF), using a biomaterial, such as glucose binding protein (GBP), that is brought into contact with the analyte. An optical system includes a first filter adapted to reflect light emitted from a light-emitting diode to illuminate a fluorescent body, and further adapted to transmit light emitted from the fluorescent body, and a second filter adapted to separate light transmitted by the first filter into signal band light and reference band light.

Reduced size optical coupler for fluorescence detection

The invention features a razor for dispensing a fluid during shaving. The razor includes a razor cartridge that is engageable to a handle. The razor cartridge has a housing, a cartridge connecting structure attached to the housing; at least one blade positioned in the housing; and an aperture that extends from the rear surface to the front surface of the housing. The handle has a cavity for housing a fluid; a manually-actuated pump located along the length of the handle, and a fluid dispensing member having a channel in fluid communication with the pump and having an opening at a terminal end. The fluid dispensing member projects outwardly from the proximal end of the handle such that the terminal end extends to or adjacent to the aperture in the housing. Actuation of the pump displaces fluid from the cavity to or adjacent to the front surface of the housing.

Manually actuable liquid dispensing razor

The invention features a razor for dispensing a fluid during shaving. The razor includes a handle, a razor cartridge, and a fluid dispensing member joined to the cartridge. The handle includes a cavity for housing a fluid and a manually-actuated pump to displace the fluid from the cavity through a supply channel to an opening at the proximal end of the handle. The razor cartridge includes a cartridge connecting structure attached to the housing, at least one blade positioned in the housing, and an aperture that extends from the rear surface to the front surface of the housing. The fluid dispensing member has a dispensing channel with an opening at a supply end and an opening at a dispensing end. The supply end is configured to engage the opening in the supply channel. The dispensing end projects outwardly and extends to or adjacent to the aperture in the housing.

A package including a product chamber to which a consumer product composition is in contact, and a substantially non-moveable outer sleeve surrounding at least a portion of the product chamber. The outer sleeve has a body portion and a separate and distinct base portion. And at least one of the body portion and the base portion is permanently connected to the product chamber.

Packages and consumer products comprising same

The invention features a hand held device that dispenses fluid during operation. The hand held device includes a handle and a device head operably engaged thereto. The handle has a proximal end forming a product dispensing aperture, a distal end forming a cavity for housing a fluid, a supply channel in fluid communication with the cavity and the product dispensing aperture, a peristaltic pump physically engaged with the supply channel, and a flexible barrier that rests between the peristaltic pump and the supply channel preventing direct contact of the supply channel by the peristaltic pump. Actuation of the peristaltic pump displaces fluid from the cavity to the product dispensing aperture.

Caps are provided for covering the writing end of a writing instrument containing a non-solid writing material. The caps include a cap body having an open end for receiving the writing end and a closed end for covering the writing end and having a long axis extending from the open end to the closed end, and a sealing member disposed within the cap body, a portion of which is fixed axially relative to the long axis of the cap body. In some caps, the cap body defines an air flow passage extending from the open end to the closed end.

Caps for writing instruments

Disclosed is a marking instrument that includes a first body, a second body coupled to the first body, an annular elastomeric sealing member integrally bonded to the first body and forming a watertight seal with the second body, and a marking medium within the marking instrument. The marking instrument having an opening for allowing the marking medium to exit the marking instrument.
