Abstract:
Improved therapeutic sclerosing microfoams are provided that have advantage in producing a consistent profile injectable foam with minimal input by the physician yet using high volume percentages of blood dispersible gases, thus avoiding use of potentially hazardous amounts of nitrogen.
Abstract:
An air pumping type fixed quantity dispensing container for dispensing food stuff, the container having a dispensing opening, including a cap, formed at a lower end of the container for dispensing the food stuff; a lid portion disposed at an upper end of the container, the lid portion including an air pumping unit for injecting the air into an inner portion of the container by the predetermined amount of distribution; and an isolating plate arranged inside the container, the isolating plate isolating the food stuff stored in the container from the air input into the container by the air pumping unit, wherein the isolating plate floats on top of the food stuff due to viscosity of the food stuff and moves along inner sidewalls of the container.

Abstract:
A drug delivery system for administering preset doses of a substance such as a drug, vaccine or the like is provided. The drug delivery system includes a holder and a pre-filled drug container such as a syringe which is securely retained in the holder. The drug container includes a barrel for containing the substance, a movable stopper situated within the barrel, and a blunt end having an opening through which the substance within the barrel can be expelled. The holder includes a distal portion and a proximal portion, each configured to accommodate the drug container, with the distal portion being able to be assembled to the proximal portion, which acts as a plunger rod during activation of the delivery system. A plurality of slots are provided for controlling the delivery of a substance and extend axially along at least one portion of the holder whereby upon activation of the system, the portions of the holder move towards one another upon the application of a minimum force and the stopper moves a preselected axial distance to expel at least a portion of the substance from the drug container. One application is to a nasal drug container, where approximately equal doses of the substance are desired to be administered to each nostril of the patient.
Abstract:
For the discharge, particularly atomization of media, particularly liquid medicaments, a dispenser (11) is provided, which discharges a charge of the medicament in only one or optionally a few strokes. Actuation takes place between three fingers of the user, the thumb pressing an actuating pusher (80) in the actuating and discharge direction. In order to prevent an unintentional actuation and simultaneously protect the discharge opening (44) against dirtying and contamination, a protective cap (90) is provided, which covers the entire discharge section (13) and the holding surfaces (14) for actuation. It also has web-like projections (93) extending up to the actuating pusher (80) and securing the latter, which prevents an actuation when the protective cap is fitted. However, actuation is possible after removing the protective cap, which is secured by a snap connection.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a discharge apparatus for media. In the case of such discharge apparatuses the medium to be discharged is stored in a container, which has chambers separated from one another. Into each of the chambers is introduced at least one media component and the media components together form the medium to be discharged. The container is placed in a casing having a discharge opening for discharging the medium. An actuating means movable relative to the casing is provided. Through the actuation of the actuating means firstly a connection between the chambers of the container is produced.
Abstract:
A device for spraying a single dose of a fluid in divided form includes a cylindrical tank (1) containing the dose of fluid, a piston (2) sliding in the cylindrical tank (1), a pusher for the piston (2), and outlet passage (5, 6) capable of communicating with the cylindrical tank (1). The piston (2) is displaceable relative to the pusher between a storage position, in which it prevents communication between the outlet passage (5, 6) and the cylindrical tank (1), and an actuation position, in which it puts the outlet passage (5, 6) into communication with the cylindrical tank (1). According to one aspect of the invention, the piston (2) is maintained in its storage position by wedging.
Abstract:
A dispenser is disclosed which is made up of two telescoping sections. One section holds at least one volume of a substance to be discharged. Telescoping motion of the sections compresses the substance to be discharged to force it through a passage in the section not holding the substance volume to be discharged therefrom. Motion between the section is limited to ensure precise metering of a charge to be dispersed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a manually actuated nasal dispenser, suitable for dispensing a liquid single dose in atomized form retained in a chamber which is part of the dispenser. The liquid consisting of or containing a substance having pharmaceutical activity, for instance calcitonin. The nasal dispenser has a very simple structure, it assures a perfect seal and insulation of the liquid retained in it till the moment of its use, and it is made in such a way that the dispensing of the liquid in atomized form occurs only after at least a minimum pressure having a predetermined value has been given, thus avoiding droppings of the liquid outside of the dispenser discharging nozzle.
Abstract:
A valve for a dispenser has a spherical valve body which is fixed in the closed position by a catch mechanism. When a predetermined dispensing pressure is applied, the valve body is moved out of the locked position and displaced, like a piston, into a sealed receiving chamber, in which it is fixed. This results in a very simple, reliable closure of the outlet channel, which only needs to be opened once.
