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.

A system is disclosed for inserting a pharmaceutical cartridge into a delivery device. Optionally the cartridge is inserted in an arbitrary orientation. Optionally, the system reorients the cartridge to a locked orientation. For example, a driver applies a torque to the cartridge to cause the reorienting. For example, said torque rotates the cartridge around an axis thereof until the cartridge reaches the locked orientation. Optionally, when the cartridge reaches the locked orientation an interference element on the cartridge interlocks with a complementary interference element on the delivery device to lock the cartridge in the locked orientation. Optionally when the cartridge is locked in the second orientation, the torque causes discharge the pharmaceutical.

A device (200) for mixing first and second substances. The device comprises a first container (100) for storage of the first substance and a second container (150) received in the first container (100) and for storage of the second substance. An outlet (112) is disposed at the distal end of the first container (100). Valve means (180) are provided for closing a distal end of the second container (150) and a proximal end of the first container (100). A stopper means (166) closes a proximal end of the second chamber (152) and is movable with respect to the second container (150). An operating mechanism drives relative movement between the first and second containers for causing displacement of the second substance into the first chamber (102) through the valve means (180) when the outlet (112) is closed, for mixing the first and second substances in a mixing stroke of the device.

A container retaining member including (i) a retaining member body including an inner surface that limits a retaining space for a container, in which the retaining member body has an insertion opening through which the container is insertable into the retaining space, and (ii) a fixing member is described. The fixing member includes a connecting portion that is connected to the inner surface and extends inwardly from the inner surface of the retaining member body, a first fixing portion that extends from the connecting portion into the retaining space and includes a first free end, and a second fixing portion that extends from the connecting portion or from the first fixing portion into the retaining space and comprises a second free end. The first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are arranged and configured to engage the container in order to secure the container within the container retaining member, and the first free end is arranged closer to the insertion opening than the second free end.

Described is a syringe carrier comprising a body adapted to receive a barrel of a syringe. The body includes two sections having distal ends with shoulder sections. The shoulder sections are adapted to engage a circumferential gap between the barrel of the syringe and a needle shield covering a needle of the syringe.

Device for dispensing a substance having: a dispensing element through which the substance can be dispensed, a displaceable protective element for the dispensing element, a drive element that is coupled with the protective element and a feedback element which can generate a signal when or after a predefined quantity or the entire quantity of the substance to be dispensed has been dispensed characterized in that the feedback device is coupled with the drive element.

An assembly for a medicament delivery device is presented having a container holder with a body extending along a longitudinal axis between a proximal and a distal end, the body defining an interior chamber for receiving a medicament container. An actuator is connected to the container holder and axially movable relative to the body of the container holder. The drive assembly is attached to the body of the container holder has a motion converter and a rod, where the actuator has an activation surface movable relative to the motion converter of the drive assembly in the direction of the longitudinal axis such that a movement of the actuator relative to the container holder in the direction of the longitudinal axis is converted to a movement of the rod relative to the container holder along a transverse axis transverse to the longitudinal axis through an engagement between the motion converter of the drive assembly and the activation surface of the actuator.
