New medical device: Plungerless Pre-filled Syringe

Farmavita.Net member, has developed new medical device - Plungerless Pre-filled Syringe.

• Small, compact, inexpensive and easy to store and use design and construction;
• The trigger mechanism (injector) and the cartridge are light weight and can be used for liquid, gas and powder drugs and chemicals;
• Works in both directions and, therefore, capable of incretion and extraction of drugs, chemicals, body fluids and samples of air, gases, chemicals and the bacteriological substances;
• Product will standardize industry even more reducing the unnecessary varieties of syringes and cutting the cost of injection even further;
• Increased safety due to reduction in possible human errors in dosages.  Also due to usage vacuum and Nitrogen there would be no air bubble. 

Plungerless Pre-filled Syringe

PLUNGERLESS INJECTION SYSTEM: US PATENT 7,255,684; PCT WO 2006/020609

Features of the syringe:

A trigger mechanism, designed to use magnetic energy, moves a piston inside the cartridge to inject and withdraw, eliminating plunger mechanism. All dosages come in a completely sealed cartridge that is placed into a trigger mechanism (injector).  All dosages have an increased shelf life limited only by the stability of the drug that could be estimated (in the ideal conditions) in years, if not decades. This device is a syringe and a storage vessel at the same time. Reduced cost and storage space and simplified shipping and logistics achieved through eliminating of vials and ampoules and modification of the syringe filling and assembly process. The syringe features combine: pre-filled syringes, usage of empty and filled cartridges due to the piston movement in both direction; short drug shelf life cartridges (as presently used by dentists), simplification of the drug manufacturing process, less packaging, shipping, handling, storage and logistics.  Also it could be used for liquid, powder and gas chemicals.

Versatility:

• Small, compact, inexpensive and easy to store and use design and construction;
• The trigger mechanism (injector) and the cartridge are light weight and can be used for liquid, gas and powder drugs and chemicals;
• Works in both directions and, therefore, capable of incretion and extraction of drugs, chemicals, body fluids and samples of air, gases, chemicals and the bacteriological substances;
• Product will standardize industry even more reducing the unnecessary varieties of syringes and cutting the cost of injection even further;
• Increased safety due to reduction in possible human errors in dosages.  Also due to usage vacuum and Nitrogen there would be no air bubble. 

Ways it will benefit the healthcare industry: 

• Magnetic syringe saves money due to the less expensive manufacturing, usage, cost of logistics, storage, disposal and transportation;
• Syringes will be pre-filled which would save critical time, assures accuracy and total compliance of medication (decreases human error and protects environment).
• Magnetic syringe's weight and size would contribute dramatically to the life-saving medical service;
• Dual function of the completely sealed cartridges is that they can be used for collection of samples in cases of chemical and biological incidents.

Model:

The Magnetic syringe is a patented device with a very quick turn around: With adequate seed capital, the product R&D should be completed in 3-6 months.  The concept was presented to physicians and nurses and has met with enthusiastic reception. 

Summary:

This paten is available for licensing out and all reasonable proposals would be considered.
