Abstract

A mixing syringe having a first sealed chamber containing a powder (powder housing) and a second sealed chamber containing a liquid (liquid housing). When the user needs to inject a patient, he or she holds the mixing syringe approximately upright and depresses a plunger. This motion causes a piercer to pierce a foil seal separating the two chambers. T he liquid then drops down into the powder housing. The liquid flows through a passage in a piston located in the powder housing, where it then comes in contact with the powder itself. As th e user continues pressing the plunger downward, the piercer comes to rest within the piston a nd seals the passage through the piston, thereby locking the piercer and piston together. The device is then ready for an injection. As the plunger is further depressed, the piston expels the powder and liquid mixture through a needle.

Claims (13)

1. A syringe allowing a user to combine a liquid and a powder to form a mixture prior to injecting said mixture into a patient, comprising:

a. a liquid housing, containing said liquid, having a first end and a second end;

b. a powder housing, containing said powder, having a first end and a second end;

c. a piercable barrier separating said second end of said liquid housing from said first end of said powder housing;

d. a needle, fluidly connected to said second end of said powder housing;
e. a plunger, having a first end and a second end;

f. a piercer, located on said second end of said plunger;

g. a plunger head, located on said first end of said plunger and extending out from said first end of said liquid housing; and h. wherein said plunger is slidably attached to said liquid housing, so that when said user presses said plunger head toward said first end of said liquid housing, said piercer pierces said piercable barrier.
2. A syringe as recited in claim 1, wherein:

a. said liquid housing and said powder housing are separate containers; and b. said piercable barrier comprises a first piercable seal over said second end of said liquid housing and a second piercable seal over said first end of said powder housing.
3. A syringe as recited in claim 2, wherein said liquid housing and said powder housing are locked together by mechanical locking means.
4. A syringe as recited in claim 3, wherein said mechanical locking means is selected from the group comprising a linking clip, a threaded engagement, and an adhesive joint.
5. A syringe as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

a. a primary piston, slidably mounted within said powder housing;

b. a passage through said primary piston, whereby when said piercer pierces said piercable barrier, said liquid will flow through said primary piston and come in contact with said powder, thereby forming said mixture; and c. sealing means for sealing said passage when said piercer bears against said primary piston, so that when said user presses said plunger head further toward said liquid housing, said piercer pushes said primary piston toward said second end of said powder housing, thereby expelling said mixture through said needle.
6. A syringe as recited in claim 5, wherein said sealing means comprises:
a. a male conical surface on said piercer; and b. a female conical surface on said primary piston proximate said passage.
7. A syringe as recited in claim 5, wherein said sealing means comprises:

a. a male spherical surface on said piercer; and b. a female spherical surface on said primary piston proximate said passage.
8. A syringe as recited in claim 5, further comprising:

a. a secondary piston, located on said plunger between said plunger head and said piercer;

b. wherein when said user presses said plunger head toward said liquid housing, said secondary piston forces said liquid through said piercable barrier.
9. A syringe as recited in claim 8, wherein:

a. said secondary piston includes at least one air vent; and b. said at least one air vent meters the escape of gas contained within said liquid housing and said powder housing past said secondary piston, thereby limiting the speed at which said user can press said plunger head further toward said liquid housing.
10. A syringe as recited in claim 9, further comprising at least one vent block, positioned to seal off said at least one vent when said secondary piston is proximate said first end of said liquid housing.
11. A syringe as recited in claim 2, further comprising:

a. a first flange proximate said second end of said liquid housing;

b. wherein said first piercable seal comprises a foil seal adhesively affixed to said liquid housing at said first flange;

c. a second flange proximate said first end of said powder housing;

b. wherein said second piercable seal comprises a foil seal adhesively affixed to said powder housing at said second flange.
12. A syringe as recited in claim 5, wherein:

a. said liquid housing and said powder housing are separate containers; and b. said piercable barrier comprises a first piercable seal over said second end of said liquid housing and a second piercable seal over said first end of said powder housing.
13. A syringe as recited in claim 12, wherein said liquid housing and said powder housing are locked together by mechanical locking means.

15. A syringe as recited in claim 13, wherein said mechanical locking means is selected from the group comprising a linking clip, a threaded engagement, and an adhesive joint.

16. A syringe as recited in claim 12, wherein said sealing means comprises:
a. a male conical surface on said piercer; and b. a female conical surface on said primary piston proximate said passage.

17. A syringe as recited in claim 12, wherein said sealing means comprises:

a. a male spherical surface on said piercer; and b. a female spherical surface on said primary piston proximate said passage.

18. A syringe allowing a user to combine a liquid and a powder to form a mixture prior to injecting said mixture into a patient, comprising:

a. a powder housing, containing said powder, having a first end and a second end;
b. a liquid housing, containing said liquid, having a first end and a second end;
c. a piercable barrier separating said second end of said powder housing from said first end of said liquid housing;

d. a needle, fluidly connected to said second end of said liquid housing;
e. a plunger, having a first end and a second end;

f. a piercer, located on said second end of said plunger;

g. a plunger head, located on said first end of said plunger and extending out from said first end of said liquid housing; and h. wherein said plunger is slidably attached to said powder housing, so that when said user presses said plunger head toward said first end of said powder housing, said piercer pierces said piercable barrier.

19. A syringe as recited in claim 18, further comprising:

a. a primary piston, slidably mounted within said liquid housing;

b. a passage through said primary piston, whereby when said piercer pierces said piercable barrier, said powder will flow through said primary piston and come in contact with said liquid, thereby forming said mixture; and c. sealing means for sealing said passage when said piercer bears against said primary piston, so that when said user presses said plunger head further toward said powder housing, said piercer pushes said primary piston toward said second end of said liquid housing, thereby expelling said mixture through said needle.

20. A syringe as recited in claim 10, wherein said secondary piston compresses the contents of said liquid housing while said at least one vent block seals said at least one vent.
