Delivery Device Systems, Methods, and Apparatuses - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024566 titled 'Delivery Device Systems, Methods, and Apparatuses

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an access assembly for administering agents to a shallow delivery destination. The assembly includes a body with two exterior surfaces that are at a non-orthogonal angle to each other. The body has a passage that extends to a corner formed between the two surfaces. An adhesive pad is coupled to one of the exterior surfaces. The assembly also includes a member with a flow path and microneedles at one end, which is disposed within the passage and in contact with a stop defined by the passage. A coupler is provided to connect the assembly to a fluid flow conduit.

  • The access assembly has a unique design with non-orthogonal exterior surfaces and a passage that allows for precise administration of agents to a shallow delivery destination.
  • The adhesive pad ensures secure attachment of the assembly to the delivery destination.
  • The member with microneedles allows for controlled and targeted delivery of the agents.
  • The coupler enables easy connection of the assembly to a fluid flow conduit for efficient delivery.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical procedures requiring precise administration of agents to shallow delivery destinations, such as dermatological treatments or drug delivery.
  • Research and development of new drug delivery methods that require targeted and controlled administration.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures accurate and precise administration of agents to shallow delivery destinations.
  • Provides a secure attachment to the delivery destination to prevent leakage or displacement.
  • Enables controlled and targeted delivery of agents using microneedles.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and precision in administering agents to shallow delivery destinations.
  • Enhanced safety and effectiveness of medical procedures or drug delivery.
  • Simplified and efficient connection to fluid flow conduits for seamless delivery.


Original Abstract Submitted

an access assembly for administration of agent to a shallow delivery destination may comprise a body having a first exterior surface and a second exterior surface. the first exterior surface may be at a non-orthogonal angle to the second exterior surface. the body may have a passage extending therethrough to a corner formed between the first and second exterior surfaces. the assembly may further comprise an adhesive pad coupled to the second exterior surface. the assembly may further comprise a member having a flow path extending therethrough and a sharp bearing body including a number of microneedles coupled to an end of the member. the member may be disposed within the passage and in contact with at least one stop defined by the passage. the assembly may further comprise a coupler configured to couple with a cooperating coupler on a fluid flow conduit.
