Abstract
Described herein is a generalized injection device for delivering formulations of various mechanical properties to precise locations. Of particular interest is the manifestation intended for the application of a thermally responsive hydrogel to the tear duct for the purpose of occlusion, as a treatment for symptoms associated with dry eye syndrome. Further, a modular solution to the need for an injection device across a variety of applications, mechanism, and physical considerations is provided. This disclosure provides examples of methods for precise injection of low volumes, moisture retention in pre-filled injection devices, and actuation for automatic or manual injection, to name a few.
