A system for injecting DNA-based medications into humans is provided by the present invention. The system includes a needle-free injector with an injection orifice of approximately 0.004 inches for supplying DNA-based medication at an initial pressure of from 3900 to 4300 psi, and then immediately declining to a level of about 2800 to 3800 psi, and then immediately cutting off pressure to terminate the injection. The injector includes an annular adapter for spacing the injection orifice from the skin of the patient. The adapter includes an abutment against which the injector is disposed so that the orifice is spaced approximately 0.76-1.0 inch from the skin of the patient, the adapter having an inner diameter at the distal end of approximately 0.50-0.70 inches.

Intradermal injection system for injecting DNA-based injectables into humans

A protective sheath applicator assembly for encasing medical patient retaining belts, thereby protecting them from fouling by patient bodily emissions. The assembly includes a longitudinally collapsible tubular sheath and sheath applicator having a central segment for mounting a quantity of sheath material, a first end segment for connection to one of the belt components to enable transfer of the sheath from the applicator to the belt component, and a restraining segment for preventing the sheath from working endwise off the bar. In use, the bar is clipped to one of the restraining belt components and the sheath transferred thereto by sliding it endwise. The bar then is disconnected, and the companion seat belt component clipped to the first seat belt component. The patient then is introduced and the seat belts fastened endwise together in the usual manner. Thereafter the collapsed sheath is extended to cover the second restraining belt component so that the belt is covered and protected along its entire length.
