20110306937 | MAGNETIC SAFETY NEEDLE ASSEMBLY - A safety needle assembly is provided herein which includes a hub; a needle fixed to the hub, the needle having a distal end formed for insertion into a patient; a shield moveable relative to the hub from a first position, where the shield covers the distal end of the needle, to a second position, where the distal end of the needle is exposed and not covered by the shield; a first magnetic element fixed to the hub; and, a second magnetic element fixed to the shield. The first and second magnetic elements are configured so as to define a repulsive force therebetween which urges the first and second magnetic elements apart. The repulsive force urges the shield towards the first position. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a safety needle assembly may be provided which includes a minimal number of parts, without sacrificing reliability. | 12-15-2011 |

20130296235 | CONTAINER AND METHOD FOR STORING A PHARMACEUTICAL AGENT - A container and method for storing a pharmaceutical agent are provided for enhancing the storage time. The storage time of the pharmaceutical agent is improved by reducing the loss of stabilizing agents in the pharmaceutical agent. The storage container is formed from a polyolefin that includes a stabilizing agent in an amount effective to reduce or inhibit the migration of stabilizing agents in the pharmaceutical agent. The polyolefin container is formed with a fatty acid amide such as erucamide for stabilizing insulin that contains m-cresol and/or phenol as stabilizing agents for the insulin. The fatty acid amide incorporated in the container inhibits and/or reduces the rate of migration of the m-cresol and/or phenol into the polyolefin to extend the storage life of the insulin. The container can be a syringe, such as a pre-filled syringe, a storage vial or the flow path of an infusion pump. | 11-07-2013 |

20090069755 | Pen Needle Hub Having Increased Contact Area - 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. | 03-12-2009 |
20110068034 | Shipping Container Integrating A Sharps Disposal Container With A New Product Storage Container - A shipping container integrates a sharps disposal container with a new product storage container for shipping. The storage container stores new product. A sharps disposal container receives used sharps. One of the storage container and the sharps disposal container is disposed within the other of the storage container and the sharps disposal container for shipping. A lid is adapted to be connected to the outermost container of the sharps disposal container and the storage container for shipping and to a top of the sharps disposal container for receiving used sharps. | 03-24-2011 |
20110071475 | OUTER COVER OF A PEN NEEDLE FOR A DRUG DELIVERY PEN - A connecting member removably connects a plurality of pen needles together, thereby providing a convenient way for a patient to carry multiple pen needles. The connecting member may be integrally formed with the outer cover of the pen needle or may be a separate member that removably receives the pen needle. An outer cover of a pen needle is provided with gripping means to facilitate gripping and handling of the outer cover. A lid connects to the outer cover to seal the outer cover. The lid also has gripping means to facilitate gripping and handling the lid. A cap is provided that has a first opening for receiving a first end of the outer cover and a second opening for receiving a second end of the outer cover. | 03-24-2011 |
20110071492 | HUB ASSEMBLY HAVING A HIDDEN NEEDLE FOR A DRUG DELIVERY PEN - A hub assembly for a pen injection device prevents a patient from seeing a needle of a hub assembly during an injection. A hub is connected to the pen injection device. A needle is received by the hub. A compressible member is connected to the hub and is compressible between a first position that entirely covers said needle and a second position that exposes the needle for an injection. | 03-24-2011 |
20120041381 | Sterility Barrier For Pen Needle And Storage Container Therefor - A pen needle includes a hub having a first opening at a first end and a second opening at a second end. A needle is connected to the hub and extends through the first opening at the first end. Access to the needle through the second opening is prevented by a sterility barrier, which has a movable portion that is moved along a longitudinal axis of the needle to provide access to the needle. A storage container includes a housing having a plurality of cavities to receive a plurality of pen needles. A cover is rotatably connected to the housing and is rotated such that an access portion thereof is aligned with one of the cavities, thereby providing access to the pen needle in the cavity. | 02-16-2012 |
