AUTO-INJECTOR
20220031951 · 2022-02-03 · ·

An autoinjector having a reservoir (110); a piston (111); a needle (112); a driver module having a body (201); a piston rod (210) movable between rest position and injection positions; an injection spring (220); and a lock that blocks the piston rod in its rest position. The lock ha a thread (230) connected to the piston rod and to a toothed winder wheel (240), a locking member (260) co-operating with a tooth (241) of the toothed winder wheel, the locking member (260) movable between a blocking position preventing the winder wheel from turning in the direction of actuation force (Fa) exerted by the injection spring, and an actuated position allowing turning of the winder wheel. The autoinjector includes a re-cocking mechanism (400) for rewinding the thread on the winder wheel by turning the winder wheel in the opposite direction to its direction during the injection stage.

Portable Drug Mixing and Delivery Device and Associated Methods

A telescoping portable drug mixing and delivery device configured to store a dry medication separately from a liquid component, wherein a tensile force applied between the housing and a cap opens a valve and causes displacement of a fluid from a first chamber to a second chamber while simultaneously mixing the fluid with a dry medicament prior to injection. An extendable needle guard is provided over the delivery assembly which prevents premature injection as well as inadvertent sticks or other cross contamination of a needle. The needle guard can also form part of a secondary trigger mechanism which injects the reconstituted drug after the mixing stage is complete.

Pen-Type Drug Delivery Device with Electronic Display on Clip Member

A portable pen-type drug injection device (300) comprises a main portion (301) and a clip (360). The clip comprises a base portion mounted to a portion of the drug delivery device, and a clip gripping portion with a free end. The device further comprises drug expelling means having dose setting means (340) allowing a user to set a dose of drug to be expelled, and a piston rod adapted to move a piston of a loaded cartridge in a distal direction to thereby expel drug from the cartridge. Electronic circuitry comprises sensor means adapted to detect a set and/or an expelled dose, and a display (374) is provided to display dose-related values, wherein at least a portion of the display is arranged in the flexible clip main portion.

Auto-Injector with Pivoting Trigger
20170224928 · 2017-08-10 · ·

A resettable and reusable auto-injector with a trigger having a pivot axis dividing an elongate body into distal and proximal portions. The proximal portion has a finger surface on an upper section and a bearing surface projecting downwardly configured to engage a button blocker to function as a safety feature to prevent premature firing of the auto-injector before a needle hider is pressed against an injection site.

Injection apparatus

An injection apparatus includes a counter wheel that is incremented by the dose delivery mechanism each time the device is fired. The apparatus includes a final dose disabling mechanism that prevents further usage once the final dose has been delivered. An anti-tamper feature is provided to prevent inadvertent or premature initialisation of the apparatus.

Autoinjectors
09814836 · 2017-11-14 · ·

An autoinjector includes a housing for receiving in use in a generally longitudinal loading direction a syringe assembly including a syringe carrier and a syringe, the syringe including a syringe body having a slideable internal piston for expressing a dose contained in the body through a needle at a forward end thereof; a drive mechanism for providing drive for operation of the autoinjector and being disposed generally within the housing and including a mechanical energy source and a winder element for being rotated to charge the energy source, and an input transmission train operational between the syringe assembly and the winder element in use, whereby loading of the syringe assembly into the housing rotates the winder element to charge the energy source.

Auto-injector for epinephrine injection

A reloadable auto injector for epinephrine injection is provided. The reloadable auto injector has a separate needle insertion and medicine injection drivers (1600) wherein needle insertion driver (1200) is configured to be re-activated upon reloading. A syringe is movably positioned in a housing between a first position in which the needle is accommodated inside the housing and a second position in which the needle protrudes outside the housing. A plunger rod (1500) is normally locked to a plunger rod tube (1100) by at least one deflectable locking member (1110). A syringe driver (1200) applies a force to the syringe to move the syringe together with plunger rod tube, plunger rod and plunger rod driver from the first position to the second position. In the second position, the locking member (1110) is unlocked and releases the plunger rod to thereby activate the plunger rod driver to advance the plunger rod in the syringe for delivering of medicament. A reload handle (1400) is connected to the syringe assembly so that user operation of the reload handle retracts the syringe to the first position and simultaneously reload the syringe driver to thereby ready the auto injector for delivering a further dose of medicament.
