20160106584 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR DRUG DELIVERY USING MULTIPLE RESERVOIRS - A cartridge, including a first member that defines an inner volume and a second member disposed therein, is disposed in a housing. A first reservoir is disposed in the inner volume in a position distal to the second member. The first member is partially disposed in a second reservoir, defined by the housing. The second member is configured to be moved from a first position, in which the first reservoir contains a drug and the second reservoir is fluidically isolated from the inner volume, toward a second position, in which the first reservoir and the second reservoir are in fluid communication with the inner volume, such that the second reservoir receives a volume of the drug from the first reservoir. The first member and the second member are collectively moved relative to the second reservoir to expel the volume of the drug from the second reservoir. | 04-21-2016 |
20150209180 | Apparatus and Methods for Drug Delivery Using Microneedles - A microneedle has a proximal end portion and a distal end portion and defines a lumen. The proximal end portion is configured to be coupled to a cartridge to place the lumen in fluid communication with the cartridge. The proximal end portion includes a base surface that is configured to be placed in contact with a surface of a target tissue. The distal end portion of the microneedle includes a beveled surface. The beveled surface defines a tip angle of less than about 20 degrees and a ratio of a bevel height to a bevel width of less than about 2.5. | 07-30-2015 |
20150051581 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR OCULAR INJECTION - An apparatus includes a housing coupled to a medicament container, which is coupled to a needle. An injection assembly is disposed within the housing and includes an energy storage member and an actuation rod. A distal end portion of the actuation rod is disposed within the medicament container. The energy storage member can produce a force on a proximal end portion of the actuation rod sufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container. This can convey at least a portion of a substance from the medicament container via the needle when a distal tip of the needle is disposed within a first region of a target location. The force is insufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container when the distal tip of the needle is disposed within a second region of the target location. | 02-19-2015 |
