20110083685COIL PACKAGING FOR SMOKELESS TOBACCO - A pocket sized dispenser houses in coiled form a flexible strip of portions of smokeless tobacco sized for placement between a consumer's cheek and gum, where the flexible strip includes a base tape removably attached to the plurality of portions, and wherein the dispenser and strip are adapted to allow a consumer to separate individual portions from the base tape. The individual portions comprise either a collection of tobacco particles at least partially enclosed by a coating comprising a water-soluble non-crosslinked component and a substantially water-insoluble cross-linked component; or pouches attached to the base tape with a food-grade adhesive, the pouches comprising smokeless tobacco enclosed in a water-permeable wrapper with at least one lap-sealed edge. Methods of preparing such are disclosed.04-14-2011

20090048578DISPOSABLE INFUSION DEVICE FACILITATING TISSUE FOLD FORMATION FOR CANNULA DEPLOYMENT AND METHOD - A device and method facilitates the forming of a skin fold during deployment of a cannula. The device may be a disposable infusion device and the method comprises adhering, to a skin surface, a base member having a port for receiving a cannula, forming a skin fold having skin surfaces sloping away from opposite sides of the base member, driving a cannula through the port of the base member while maintaining the skin fold, and releasing the skin fold. To facilitate the forming of the skin fold, the device comprises a base having a base surface and a flexible layer member. The flexible layer member has a first surface adjacent the base surface and a second surface adapted to be adhered to a patient's skin. The first surface has a first portion adhered to a portion of the base surface and a second portion adherable to the base surface.02-19-2009
20090088682Wearable infusion device - A wearable infusion device comprises a component that causes a piston to move an incremental distance to cause the device to dispense a dose of medicament from a reservoir.04-02-2009
20090088690Disposable infusion device with reuse lock-out - A wearable infusion device comprises a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament, an outlet port that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient, a pump that displaces a volume of the liquid medicament to the outlet port when actuated, and a control that actuates the pump. A lock-out disables the device when a predefined amount of medicament has been delivered to the outlet.04-02-2009
20090088692Disposable infusion device with tactile dosage volume indicator - A wearable infusion device comprises a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament, an outlet port that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient, a pump that delivers a volume of the liquid medicament from the reservoir to the outlet when actuated, and a tactile indicator representing the volume of the liquid medicament delivered to the outlet with each actuation of the pump.04-02-2009
20090088694Disposable infusion device with dual valve system - A wearable infusion device comprises a first control movable between a first position and a second position that when in the first position, establishes a first fluid path between a reservoir and a pump and when in the second position, establishes a second fluid path between the pump and an outlet. A second control actuates the pump only when the second fluid path has been established by the first control.04-02-2009
20090156989DISPOSABLE INFUSION DEVICE WITH REFILL PREVENTION - A wearable infusion device prevents reservoir refilling. The device includes a base adapted to be adhered to a patient's skin, a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament, and a cannula that delivers liquid medicament from the reservoir to the patient. The device further includes a fill port communicating with the reservoir to permit the reservoir to be provided with the liquid medicament, and a lock-out that prevents the reservoir from being refilled through the fill port after the reservoir has been provided with the liquid medicament.06-18-2009
20090259182 WEARABLE LOW PROFILE INFUSION DEVICE - A low profile wearable infusion device comprises a generally cylindrical reservoir having a diameter greater than its height and a drive that causes a piston to move an incremental distance within the reservoir to cause the device to dispense a dose of medicament.10-15-2009
