The invention relates to a drug delivery device comprising: a syringe with a body from which a needle extends and an inner sheath; a piston rod comprising a piston and an actuation head, a support sheath for holding the body. It is envisaged that the support sheath and the actuation head comprise corresponding indicators.

Embodiments of a retractable syringe assembly are provided that include a single syringe barrel configuration and dual syringe barrel configuration. In one or more embodiments, the assemblies include a barrel having a dividing wall to divide the chamber to define a fluid chamber having a first cross-sectional width for retaining fluid and a needle chamber for housing a needle hub assembly. The assemblies include a projection extending radially outwardly from the plunger rod to interact with a ramped portion of the dividing wall to cause the needle cannula to retract and be housed within the needle chamber.

An injection device provides a casing which accommodates or forms a reservoir for a liquid drug; a plunger rod which can move relative to the casing in an axially forward direction to deliver the drug; a dosing means which can move in the forward direction relative to the casing to prime the reservoir and which can rotate relative to the casing for selecting a dose to be injected, wherein rotation of the dosing means relative to the casing is prevented until a priming operation for priming the reservoir is completed; d)wherein the dosing means comprises a dosing control means which is configured to enable rotation of the dosing means at the end of the priming stroke for selecting the dose and to prevent a rotation of the dosing means back into the position which the dosing means had at the end of the priming stroke relative to the casing.

A container for delivering a medicament to a target location includes a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, the housing including a cap locking tab at the distal end, and a vial containing the medicament. The container includes a plunger slidable within the vial from a proximal end to a distal end of the vial to dispel the medicament, an injection member associated with the distal end of the vial, such that the medicament dispelled from the vial passes through the injection member to the target location, and a slidable interaction member associated with the distal end of the vial configured to slide with the vial. An interaction between the slidable interaction member and the cap locking tab causes the cap locking tab to bias outward, and placement of a safety cap on the container after use locks the safety cap onto the container via an interaction with the cap locking tab.

A safety syringe has at least two angled lock extensions on opposing sides of a plunger shaft. A plunger tip integral with the shaft has at least a pair of locking lugs. A syringe barrel has a needle assembly housing end securing the needle assembly in place for injections. The needle assembly has a needle secured in a needle housing and at least two locking ledges formed as an integral part. The end cap further comprises an opening sized to receive the shaft to fit and move back and forth, and at least two locking edges. The locking edges engage with the angled lock extensions to lock the plunger in place when fully withdrawn. The locking ledges on the needle housing engage with the locking lugs when the plunger tip is pushed into the needle housing, so as to use to retract the needle into the barrel.

A medicament delivery device (1) comprising: a housing (3), an actuator structure (5) arranged in the housing (3) and configured to be moved linearly from an initial position relative to the housing (3) to a final position, the actuator structure (5) having a medicament container holder (5c) configured to receive a mechanically flexible medicament container (13a), the actuator structure (5) comprising a movable button (5a) arranged in a default position protruding from the housing (3) when the actuator structure (5) is in the initial position, wherein the button (5a) is configured to be moved from the default position into the medicament container holder (5c) to a squeeze position to squeeze the medicament container (13a), wherein the actuator structure (5) has a first engagement structure (5d) and the housing (3) has a second engagement structure (3e) configured to engage with the first engagement structure (5d) when the button (5a) is in the default position, to prevent the actuator structure (5) from movement from the initial position towards the final position, wherein the first engagement structure (5d) is configured to disengage from engagement with the second engagement structure (3e) when the button (5a) is moved towards the squeeze position, enabling the actuator structure (5) to be moved from the initial position to the final position.

An I.V. flush syringe assembly includes a barrel having an inside surface defining a chamber for retaining fluid, an open proximal end and a distal end with a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with the chamber. An elongate plunger having a proximal end, a distal end and a flexible stopper is slidably positioned in fluid-tight engagement with the inside surface of the barrel for drawing fluid into and out of the chamber by movement of the stopper relative to the barrel. The barrel includes anti-reflux structure for holding said stopper in a partially deflected position after fluid has been delivered from the chamber and the stopper is being force against the distal end of the chamber.

A syringe exostructure incudes a main body which removably receives a syringe having a syringe barrel and a syringe plunger. A drive plunger is reciprocatably mounted on the main body, and a plunger bar is slidably received in an axial channel on the drive plunger. The plunger bar is configured to removably couple to the syringe plunger when the syringe is introduced into the main body. A drive pawl assembly is fixed to an upper surface of the drive plunger and transfers forward motion of the drive plunger to the plunger bar as the drive plunger is advanced and disengages from the plunger bar when the drive plunger is retracted. A locking pawl assembly is fixed to the main body and extends through a slot formed in the bottom of the axial channel in the drive plunger. The locking pawl engages the plunger bar and allows the plunger bar to be advanced by the drive plunger as the drive plunger is advanced but prevents the plunger bar from being retracted by the drive plunger as the drive plunger is retracted.

A replaceable needle assembly is provided for a retractable, prefilled syringe comprising a barrel having a mounting member and a plunger, whereby the retractable needle can be replaced by a user without affecting the retraction mechanism. The replaceable needle assembly comprises a needle fitted to a retractable needle mount and a needle retainer. The needle mount is removably, screw-threadedly mountable to the mounting member of the barrel. The needle retainer comprises a plurality of fingers that releasably engage the retractable needle to thereby prevent inadvertent retraction of the retractable needle before engagement by the plunger. The plunger comprises a plunger seal comprising an outer member and an inner member that engages the needle for spring-driven retraction. At the end of retraction, a lock is formed between the plunger and barrel to prevent re-use of the syringe.

Disclosed is a safety syringe capable of preventing needle-stick injuries, filtering foreign matters in a fluid, and preventing reuse thereof. The safety syringe includes: a safety needle part provided with a safety cap, the safety cap being configured to pop out by an elastic force of an elastic body connected thereto when the safety cap is unlatched and to be fixed while surrounding a needle tip; a filter part being configured such that a first end thereof is coupled with the safety needle part, and filtering fluid introduced or discharged through the needle; and a main body part being configured such that a first end thereof is coupled with the filter part, and having a barrel with a piston mounted therein, the piston being provided at a fore end thereof with an insertion part pushing out the fluid by being inserted into a luer of the syringe.
