A drug delivery device includes a housing, a needle having a retracted position and an extended position, a needle actuator body received within the housing and configured to move from a pre-use position where the needle is in the retracted position to a use position where the needle is in the extended position, a container received within the housing, with the container having a first position and a second position spaced axially from the first position, and an actuator button moveable relative to the housing from a first position to a second position to actuate the needle actuator body from the pre-use position to the use position. The actuator button includes a container holder configured to restrict movement of the container from the first position to the second position when the needle actuator body is in the pre-use position.

A syringe for mixing two substances which have been retained separately inside the syringe is described, for instance in a storage condition. The syringe is used for 1) retaining a dry composition in a vacuum, and 2) mixing the dry composition with an aqueous medium to form a flowable substance. One embodiment, a syringe for retaining and mixing first and second substances comprises a barrel comprising a sealable and/or closable distal outlet and a vacuum chamber for holding a first substance, a plunger incorporating a reservoir chamber for holding a second substance and configured to be axially displaced through a proximal end of the barrel, a membrane separating the vacuum chamber and the reservoir chamber, and a pointed member, such as one or more needles, for penetrating the membrane, wherein the syringe is configured such that the membrane and the pointed member are axially slidable in relation to each other.

The present disclosure relates to a cartridge holder of an injection device, the cartridge holder comprising a tubular shaped elongated sleeve extending in an axial direction to accommodate a cartridge filled with a medicament, wherein the sleeve (29) comprises: a proximal connecting end to connect with a distal connecting end of a body of the injection device, which body is configured to accommodate a drive mechanism of the injection device and which drive mechanism is operably engageable with a piston of the cartridge, a flange section extending radially outwardly from an outside surface of the sleeve and having a proximally facing abutment face to axially abut with a distal end face of the distal connecting end of the body, at least three protrusions located distally from the flange section, extending radially outwardly from the outside surface of the sleeve and being distributed around the circumference of the sleeve.

A medicament injection device including: a main body; a medicament cartridge holder fixed with respect to the main body, wherein the medicament cartridge holder is configured to hold a medicament cartridge; a needle carrier carrying a needle, wherein the needle carrier is axially movable with respect to the main body; and a rotatable cap at a distal end of the device, wherein the cap includes a first pre-stressed spring coupled to the needle carrier, wherein the cap is arranged so that rotational movement thereof causes release of the first pre-stressed spring thereby causing the needle carrier to move axially towards a proximal end of the device.

A kit for the direct use of a variety of medical ampoules of differing sizes, with a syringe, the kit having: a syringe body; a syringe plunger having a hollow interior volume; and a plurality of ampoule interface elements, each one being interchangeably received within the hollow interior volume and configured for deployment between an outer surface of the medical ampoule and a surface of the hollow interior volume so as to hold the medical ampoule therein, each of the plurality of ampoule interface elements having an outside diameter sized to fit an inside diameter of the hollow interior volume, wherein a first of the ampoule interface elements has an inside diameter for receiving a medical ampoule of a first size, and a second of the ampoule interface elements has an inside diameter different from the first inside diameter for receiving a medical ampoule of a second size.

A auto-injector device having a housing (212, 214), a cartridge for containing a medicament, a first needle tip (230) arranged to penetrate said cartridge, a second needle tip (230) for injecting said medicament into a target, said first and second needle tips being in fluid communication, a plunger rod (242) to move said cartridge so as to be pierced by said first needle tip, said plunger rod (242) having a recess (270) in an end thereof, the improvement comprising a battery (258), a printed circuit board (250) electrically communicating with said battery, an electrically conductive element (274) having a first end in electric communication with said battery (258) and printed circuit board (250), a second end within said recess (270) in said plunger rod (242), said second end being electrically insulated, a coil spring (246) surrounding said electrically conductive element and being spaced therefrom, the arrangement being such that when said plunger rod (242) is activated, said second end of said electrically conductive element is released from said recess (270) in said plunger rod (242) and contacts said coil spring (246) to complete an electric circuit.

Described herein does a sterile protective cover comprise an intracameral therapeutic agent delivery device in the form of a pen-injector comprising a cartridge container for dispensing multiple doses of a medicament, coupled to an actuation assembly within a housing. A needle assembly is coupled to the distal end of the cartridge container, provided with a removable cap received within the housing will be in optional pre-sterile or no-sterile condition. Use of such device for the prevention or treatment of ocular conditions or diseases is also disclosed. A sterile protective cover comprising ophthalmic device, wherein the sterile protective cover is made of plastic, polythene, polyethylene, resin, rubber, polystyrene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, nylon, or combination thereof. More, particularly the present invention relates to a novel ophthalmic device of reduced length and diameter in the form of a pen-injector for precise and controlled delivery of different doses of a therapeutic agent by introducing a unique Pen grip for the device.
