Abstract
A therapeutic dispenser is provided that includes a housing and a carriage movably supported by the housing and including an engagement surface at a distal end thereof. A plunger is supported by the carriage and engageable with the housing to dispense a first therapeutic through the engagement surface. A second therapeutic is supported with the housing. The first therapeutic and the second therapeutic are individually dispensable from the housing. The housing may include a channel that guides movement of the carriage. The housing can include a handle and a cap. The cap is releasably engageable with the handle.
Claims8
A therapeutic dispenser comprising:
- a handle defining a channel and a pair of arms defining a syringe arrestor extending from a proximal end thereof;
- said handle including a pusher disposed adjacent said proximal end, said handle defining a pair of pin receiving cavities;
- a carriage supported by said handle and including a substantially non-flexible engagement surface at a distal end thereof, said engagement surface defining an opening;
- a needle assembly supported by said carriage, said needle assembly including a barrel supporting a plunger and containing a first therapeutic, said needle assembly further including a needle hub having a needle cannula extending through said opening of said engagement surface;
- and
- a cap including a pair of pins that are releasably engageable with said pair of pin receiving cavities of said handle to enclose said carriage, said handle and said cap cooperating to define a cavity configured to support a second therapeutic,
- wherein said engagement surface is configured to engage a body surface such that said plunger engages said pusher to dispense said first therapeutic from said barrel through said needle cannula into said body surface.
A therapeutic dispenser comprising:
- a handle having distal end and a channel extending internally in said handle from said distal end;
- a syringe arrestor disposed in said channel;
- a needle assembly having a barrel releasably retained in said channel by said syringe arrestor, a plunger extending proximally from said barrel, a needle hub extending distally from said barrel and a needle extending distally from said needle hub;
- and
- a carriage disposed in said channel and movable from an extended position wherein said carriage protrudes from said distal end of said handle to a refracted position;
- said carriage enclosing said needle when said carriage is in said extended position;
- said carriage engaging said syringe arrestor to release said barrel when said carriage is partially retracted.
