A system for injecting includes a syringe body having proximal and distal ends, a syringe interior, and a syringe flange at the proximal end thereof. The system also includes a stopper member disposed in the syringe interior. The system further includes a plunger member coupled to the stopper member. The plunger member includes a rotatable member configured to insert the stopper member distally in the syringe interior relative to the syringe body with rotation of the rotatable member. The plunger member further includes a proximal portion proximal of the rotatable member configured to be moved distally to also insert the stopper member distally in the syringe interior relative to the syringe body to eject about microliters of fluid from the syringe interior.

A two body syringe carrier assembly for use in an injection device is presented where a force dampener is operatively connected to the two bodies to dissipate spring force at the completion of the penetration and/or injection steps. The injection device has a generally elongated tubular housing, a syringe containing medicament and having a needle, a needle shield slidably arranged to the housing and protruding a distance outside the front end of the housing, a plunger arranged to act on the syringe and a pre-tensioned drive member arranged the drive the plunger.

A medication delivery device is disclosed including a rack-and-pinion plunger drive system. The drive system includes an output drive having a pawled end movably coupled with the ratchet teeth of the plunger, and a pinion drive coupled between the housing, the output drive and an actuator. Actuator is longitudinally movable between dose set and delivery positions. Movement of the actuator causes rotation of the pinion drive along the rack to translate the output drive member with the pawled end that is engaged with the plunger ratchet teeth to distally advance the plunger. The device may include one or more of an end of dose mechanism to limit travel of the actuator, a load brake system to stop travel of the plunger under high input forces, a dose detection system, and a dose selector to vary the amount of dose set.

A safety syringe comprising a barrel having an opening at an end thereof and a bung positioned in the barrel and creating a volume between the opening and the bung. The safety syringe also comprises a handle portion secured to the barrel and a syringe plunger slidably engaged with the handle portion and moveable within the barrel on an inward stroke to drive the bung forwards within the barrel to cause a substance within the volume to be expelled from the opening. The safety syringe further comprises a rotation mechanism configured to rotate the syringe plunger within the barrel at a point during the inward stroke when the syringe plunger is in contact with the bung, such that a rotational force is applied to the barrel and a brake connected to the handle portion and configured to provide a frictional force to resist the rotational force applied to the barrel.

Flush syringe assemblies capable of creating pulsatile movement of the plunger rod as it moves in the distal direction within a syringe barrel, while preventing overpressurization of the catheter are provided. An exemplary flush syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel with a first pulsing element and a chamber with flush solution, a plunger rod with a stopper and a second pulsing element that interacts with the first pulsing element to provide an engagement force that causes pulsatile movement of the plunger rod and a thumb press slidably attached to the plunger rod with a pulse control element. The pulse control element is compressible to create a compression force that is greater than the engagement force of the first pulsing element and the second pulsing element.

The invention relates to a safe support device for a syringe, said support comprising a support sheath for the body of a syringe, and safety means which comprise an inner sheath suitable for sliding relative to said support sheath between a waiting retracted position, in which said inner sheath is substantially retracted inside said support sheath, and an active protection position, in which said inner sheath projects from said support sheath. The inner sheath has a free end portion formed by a flexible end-piece. The invention also relates to an assembly comprising such a safe support device and a syringe having a body, a piston and a needle disposed at one end of said body.

Disclosed is an injection device for delivering a medicament from a syringe contained within a housing, the device being configured to move the syringe through the housing to cause insertion of a needle of the syringe into a user's skin and move a syringe bung through a syringe body, delivering medicament through the needle. The device includes: a plunger engaging the bung; a sleeve around the plunger; an insertion spring biasing the sleeve to the housing; and a delivery spring biasing the plunger to the sleeve. A release mechanism releases the sleeve from the housing to commence insertion and release the plunger from the sleeve, following insertion, delivering medicament. A velocity regulator regulates the plunger upon release and disengages during delivery, and includes a screw thread associated with the sleeve or plunger and one or more thread engaging members formed on the other of the sleeve and the plunger.

Disclosed is an injection device for receiving a syringe therein and for delivering a dose of medicament from the syringe, the injection device including: an insertion driver configured to drive the syringe forwards within the injection device for inserting a needle of the syringe into an injection site; an interlock mechanism configured to retain the insertion driver in a primed state and, when actuated, to allow the insertion driver to drive the syringe forwards; and an interlock actuator moveable between a stowed position and an operable position and configured on movement from the stowed position to the operable position to couple to an actuation system such that movement from the operable position back towards the stowed position actuates the interlock mechanism.

The present disclosure relates to a safety mechanism for a medicament delivery device for mechanical shock absorption, which safety mechanism has a medicament delivery member sleeve, a housing having a proximal opening arranged to receive the medicament delivery member sleeve, wherein the medicament delivery member sleeve is axially displaceable inside the housing, between an extended position in which a proximal end portion of the medicament delivery member sleeve extends proximally from the housing and a retracted position in which the proximal end portion is received by the housing, wherein the proximal end portion has a resilient structure, enabling compression of the proximal end portion in the distal direction upon impact of an axial force greater than a threshold value.

A device that regulates, monitors, and provides data on the progress of a large-volume injector during its injection sequence. The device comprises an injector and a monitor assembly. The injector has a syringe having a plunger, and a biasing device that biases the plunger through the syringe. The monitor assembly comprises a resistance unit configured to resist movement of the plunger, a gear connected to the plunger by the resistance unit, and a control unit configured to monitor the position, and regulate the rotation, of the gear. Wherein linear movement of the plunger causes the gear to rotate so that the control unit generates information on the position of the plunger.
