A dental x-ray sensor holderand sheathfor affixing a sensor to a backing plateof the holder. The dental x-ray sensor holderand sheathgenerally includes a sensor holderwith a backing plate, having one or more spring arms, and affixed to or formed contiguously with a proximal end of a bite blockof the holder. It also includes a sensor sheath adapted to secure a sensor to the backing plate for X-ray acquisition.

Dental X-ray sensor holder and dental X-ray sensor sheath therefor

A dental x-ray sensor holder and sheath for affixing a sensor to a backing plate of the holder. The dental x-ray sensor holder and sheath generally includes a sensor holder with a backing plate, having one or more spring arms, and affixed to or formed contiguously with a proximal end of a bite block of the holder. It also includes a sensor sheath adapted to secure a sensor to the backing plate for X-ray acquisition.

A vial adapter is provided for interconnecting a vial having a closure and a fluid delivery device such as a safety syringe. The vial adapter comprises an adapter housing having a base, a shroud extending or projecting from the base and a cannula extending or projecting from the base for penetrating a rubber seal on the vial closure to thereby establish fluid communication between the vial and the vial adapter. The shroud may comprise a plurality of latitudinal slits or windows within each of which resides a flexion arm connected to the shroud, each flexion arm capable of engaging and/or retaining vial closures of any of a variety of different sizes. The vial adapter may comprise a conduit tip in fluid communication with the cannula to allow transfer of fluid to or from the safety syringe while also preventing inadvertent activation of a safety syringe needle retraction mechanism.

Vial adapters

A dental x-ray sensor holderfor securing an x-ray sensorto a holder using suction created between the sensor and a backing plateof the sensor holder. The dental x-ray sensor holder generally includes a bite blockwith a first end and a second end, a backing plateaffixed to or formed contiguously with the second end of the bite block, and an openingto a cavityin the holder, wherein said cavityleads an evacuation chamberfor creating a vacuum between the holder and an X-ray sensor.

A barrel adapter mountable to a syringe barrel includes a barrel tip, a needle assembly, a stylet assembly slidably disposed within a needle lumen of the needle assembly, and a plug within the lumen of the needle. An implant delivery syringe includes a barrel, a plunger assembly, and the barrel adapter. The syringe may include a needle retraction mechanism having a biasing member and an actuable locking arrangement. When the actuable locking arrangement is actuated, the biasing member causes the needle to axially translate over the stylet during retraction to dislodge the plug and cause delivery of an implant to a target location. The plug may be a biodegradable polymer plug such as a water-soluble polymer, PLGA, and/or CARP. The stylet may be retracted following delivery. Methods of assembling implant delivery syringes with drug implants are also provided.

Devices for targeted delivery of therapeutic implants

An implant delivery syringe includes a barrel, a plunger assembly, and a barrel adapter. A barrel adapter mountable to a syringe barrel includes a barrel tip, needle retraction mechanism, needle assembly and stylet slidably disposed within the needle lumen. The needle retraction mechanism includes a biasing member, actuable locking arrangement and locking mechanism. When the actuable locking arrangement is actuated, the biasing member causes the needle to axially translate over the stylet during retraction to cause delivery of an implant to a target location. The stylet may be retracted following delivery. Methods of assembling, manufacturing, and using are also provided.
