Inventor(s) include Oza, Kunjal Pramodbhai; Ravanello, Renato; Arena, Christopher; Arnott, Rachel Paige; Grandt, Patrick James; Hovaten, Kristof William Roham; and Overcashier, David Ellis.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 22, under issue no. 34/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Apparatus and methods for filtering syringe fluid contents through a syringe-embedded filter. The filter may be sealed within a housing lodged distal to unfiltered fluid contents, proximal a syringe distal outlet, with a housing exterior sealed fluid-tight against a syringe inner wall. Before filtering, the housing may block access of unfiltered fluid to the filter. The unfiltered fluid may be sealed between a syringe plunger, the inner wall and the housing. Distally directed urging of the unfiltered fluid may unblock the housing to a flow of unfiltered fluid to the filter. Fluid-tight sealing within the housing may limit fluid passage to the distal outlet to a path through the filter. The unfiltered fluid may be urged through the unblocked housing and the filter. Filtered fluid, relatively free of particulate matter sized greater than a filter average pore size, may flow to the distal outlet for delivery to a target site."
The patent application was internationally filed on Feb. 15, 2024, under International application No.PCT/US2024/015924.
