A housing for use in connection with an inflation device can be coupled to a syringe body by a snap-fit connection. The snap-fit type mechanism can include an adaptor and a lock, such as a depressible lock. The housing can enclose an electrical circuit and a display screen that rests on a plurality of resilient pins. The circuit board may be held in place within the housing via one or more heat pins. The inflation device can be configured to measure pressure within a fluid reservoir of a syringe.

Housings for use with inflation devices and related methods

A syringe assembly or inflation device that includes a detachable housing. A pressure-sensing syringe assembly or inflation device can include both a syringe barrel and a housing that is coupled to the syringe barrel in a locked configuration. The inflation device can transition from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration in which the housing is separable from the syringe barrel. Related methods are also disclosed.

Inflation device with detachable housing and related methods

A syringe body is disclosed, wherein the syringe body is configured to withstand pressures within a fluid reservoir of the syringe body of between about 0 atmospheres (atm) and about 81 atm and/or between about 0 atm and about 109 atm. The syringe body may be configured for use in connection with an inflation device. The syringe body may comprise one or more stiffening ribs and/or a stiffening lip. Methods of using the syringe body in connection with an inflation device are also disclosed.
