An infusion set, patch pump, or elements thereof, having an exemplary catheter () provided with one or more channels, grooves and coatings (), configured and arranged to provide a degree of strength and flexibility. The catheter () can also have an exemplary flexible union with the hub () having at least one of a ball-and-socket joint (), a sliding plate (), and a flexible bushing (), and which is sealed to allow even further movement of the catheter () while preventing leakage of medication through the junction. In doing so, a number of benefits associated with the use of rigid materials in catheter construction can be provided while at the same time, benefits associated with the use of flexible materials in catheter construction and/or flexible engagement with the hub can also be provided.

Infusion set and/or patch pump having at least one of an in-dwelling rigid catheter with flexible features and/or a flexible catheter attachment

A catheter for use in medical applications is disclosed. The catheter comprises tubing with a tip hole at one end and an end portion at the other end. Fluid exits the catheter at the tip hole thereof. One or more alternative fluid pathway(s) are provided on the sidewall of the catheter to permit outflow of fluid medication from the catheter to ensure proper delivery of the medication to the intended target area, particularly when the tip opening is occluded or restricted for any reason.

Split and side-ported catheter devices

Fluid exchange device

An infusion system having an integrated inserter and infusion set () for containing and placing a flexible catheter (), and a retractable introducer needle (), wherein the catheter () is isolated from movement after placement. The integrated inserter and infusion set () includes a hub (), having a user push button () to activate the device for catheter () placement. An adhesive liner () can be provided to cover an adhesive layer (), such as pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), on the bottom of the device ().

Subcutaneous infusion device

A drug delivery device () for administering a low dose of a medicament includes a housing () and a drug reservoir () disposed in the housing (). A needle () is connected to the drug reservoir (). A pressure applying member () is movably connected to the housing () and is movable between first and second positions. The pressure applying member () does not apply pressure to the drug reservoir () in the first position and applies pressure to the drug reservoir () in the second position to dispense medicament stored in the drug reservoir (). A method of administering a low dose of insulin to simulate a first-phase insulin response of a pancreas is also disclosed.

Low dose prefilled drug delivery device and method

Apparatus and methods for delivering medicament to a patient. The apparatus may include elements with different capacities to attenuate or absorb sterilizing radiation. The apparatus may include a medicament delivery assembly with interactive elements for dose-setting, priming and medicament ejection. The assembly may include a chamber housing a radiation-sensitive medicament present in the apparatus during sterilization by electron beam. The assembly may include an actuator chassis, a drive mechanism, a needle-priming mechanism and a fluid-displacement mechanism including a fluid-displacement member. The chassis may be fixed, relative to an outlet, to the chamber. The member may be slidingly and/or threadingly engaged with the chassis, and may be configured to move relative to the outlet to deliver the medicament through the outlet. Assembly elements may be nested coaxially and/or stacked axially. The assembly may include at least one hollow region. The hollow region may reduce beam attenuation or reduce radiation absorption.

Sterile sealed heterogeneous medicament delivery device

A method of constructing an infusion set, patch pump, or element thereof, comprising the steps of mixing at least two of a solvent, an anesthetic, and a lubricant, applying said mixture as a coating to at least one surface of an infusion set, patch pump, or element thereof, and substantially removing said solvent after coating to provide at least one of an anesthetic layer and a lubricant layer upon said infusion set, patch pump, or element thereof.

Infusion set with anesthetic compound

A pen needle assembly, comprising an outer cover having an open end, a lid removably connected to the open end of the outer cover, a pen needle disposed in the outer cover, and connecting members disposed on opposite sides of the outer cover. Also disclosed is a pen needle assembly, comprising an outer cover having an open end, a lid removably connected to the open end of the outer cover, a pen needle disposed in the outer cover, and connecting members disposed on opposite sides of the outer cover, wherein a plurality of pen needle assemblies are connected adjacent to each other via the connecting members.

Outer cover of a pen needle for a drug delivery pen

A pen needle () includes a hub () and a needle () fixedly connected to the hub (). An outer cover () receives the hub (). A lubricant reservoir () is disposed in the outer cover () such that a portion of the needle () is disposed in the lubricant reservoir () when the hub () is received by the outer cover (). Lubrication of the needle () facilitates multiple injections.

Lubricated pen needle

A pen needle assembly having a hub with an increased surface area that contacts a patient's skin is provided. The increased contact area of the hub with the patient's skin during injection of a cannula decreases the pressure exerted against the patient's skin, thereby increasing the comfort of the patient. A bonding adhesive is disposed on an outer surface of the hub, thereby decreasing the required curing time of the adhesive. Additionally, the increased contact area, between the cannula adhesive and hub increases the strength of the bond therebetween.
