Overview :
Medical devices are used for patient diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. Our expertise in medical devices encompasses autoinjector systems and devices, safety syringes, prosthetic implants, catheter devices, medical imaging systems, medical diagnostic systems and methods, and blood testing systems and devices.
Our expertise also encompasses non-traditional, medical device technologies. Advances in microprocessor design and wireless networking have enabled the development of information-technology (“IT”) enabled medical devices and systems. These devices/systems often include complex computing systems as well as embedded sensors and actuators that can monitor and even control critical physiological processes. These devices and systems can be configured to communicate wirelessly with other remote systems and data bases (e.g., electronic medical records, etc.) to achieve levels of functionality, adaptability, and effectiveness not possible with simpler passive medical devices and systems.
This kind of expertise in the medical device space is reflected in the patent applications that we prepare and prosecute, as well as in our ability to provide strategic guidance to our clients.

Drug delivery is the method by which a pharmaceutical compound is administered to achieve a therapeutic effect. Developments in drug delivery have historically pertained to modifications in drug-release profile, absorption, distribution or elimination toward the end of improved efficacy and/or safety. Recent efforts have focused on “smart” or “targeted” drug delivery.
Some of our work in Drug Delivery is represented by the following patents and publications:
USP 6,394,306 WO/01/52815 US 60/422,644 US 60/442,859
