The at least one column includes a sacrificial portion coupled to a frangible link.

A discharger for discharging a predetermined amount of fluid includes a housing defining a longitudinal first axis and having a proximal end and a distal end, a discharge section having a discharge passage for the fluid extending between an inlet opening and an outlet opening of the discharge section, a carriage cooperating with the proximal end region of the housing such that the carriage is moveable relative to the housing along the first axis, the carriage including a receiving space for the fluid, and a piercing tip having a flow channel for establishing a flow connection for the fluid from the receiving space to the inlet opening of the discharge section, the piercing tip defining a centrally extending longitudinal second axis and having a shell surface. The shell surface of the piercing tip has an essentially convexly curved.

An automatic injection device is provided, where the device includes a syringe carrier and a retraction assembly. The syringe carrier includes two identical parts that are discrete from one another and interlock with one another. The retraction assembly includes a shuttle and a follower, the follower having a moveable latch. The follower has a coupled configuration in which the latch is biasedly coupled to the shuttle, and a decoupled configuration in which the latch is in sliding engagement with a curvilinear surface of the shuttle.

A medical injection system adapted for a single-handed injection, the medical injection device comprising a gas compartment configured to contain a gas, the gas compartment comprising a piston, a reservoir intended to contain a drug composition, the reservoir having a proximal portion and a distal portion provided with a fluid exit configured to receive an injection needle, wherein the piston can move proximally between a distal position defining a first volume of the gas compartment to a proximal position defining a second volume of the gas compartment smaller than the first volume, and wherein the gas compartment is in gas communication with the reservoir in order to force the drug composition through the fluid exit, when the piston is moved proximally.

A user-powered medicament injector including a reusable, user-powered automatic injection assembly including a user energizable medicament injection subassembly and a medicament module removably insertable into the reusable, user-powered automatic injection assembly and including a module housing adapted to receive a syringe having a barrel, a needle engaged to said barrel, and a removable needle cap covering the needle; a needle shield configured to be moveable with respect to the module housing and a needle cap remover associated with the needle shield. The medicament module is configured for energizing the user energizable medicament injection subassembly by insertion of the medicament module into the reusable, user powered automatic injection assembly.

A delivery system for medical and pharmaceutical compounds includes a container, a closure element, a supporting element and a penetration element. The container contains the compounds and has a closed container bottom and an open second end. The closure element makes fluid-tight contact with the inner wall of the container. The supporting element attaches to the closure element. The penetration element has a hollow needle and moves along the longitudinal axis of the container. The penetration element includes a first link motion portion, and the supporting element includes a second link motion portion. The first link motion portion has a guiding groove, and the second link motion portion has a projection. The hollow needle of the penetration element moves towards the container bottom and penetrates the closure element. The penetration element moves inside the supporting element towards the container bottom based on how the projection travels in the guiding groove.

A device for extracting a fluid from an ampoule, comprising a plunger body (2) arranged for enclosing an ampoule (3), and a syringe body (4) movable relative to the plunger body (2). The syringe body (4) comprises a piston member (6) and an outer tubular casing (8) concentrically arranged around the piston member (6). The piston member (6) comprises an insertion end (10), receivable within the plunger body (2) and arranged for insertion in the ampoule (3), an ejection end (12) attached to the outer tubular casing (8), and a lumen (14) extending between the insertion end (10) and the ejection end (12). The plunger body (2) and the syringe body (4) form an actuating arrangement of the device (1) arranged to move the piston member (6) through the ampoule (3) during operation and forcing a fluid from the ampoule (3) through the lumen (14).

A fluid dispenser device having a reservoir (10) containing fluid; a dispenser head (20) provided with a dispenser orifice (21); and a piston (45; 70) for dispensing at least a portion of the fluid through the dispenser orifice (21). The reservoir (10) is closed in leaktight manner by a closure element (25) before actuation. The device includes a passage (40) for connecting the reservoir (10) to the dispenser orifice (21) during actuation, the passage (40) including a hollow sleeve (41) that is stationary relative to the dispenser head (20), for sliding around the closure element (25) during actuation, so as to open the passage (40).

A fluid delivery injector comprises a syringe defining a barrel; a plunger and a hollow needle provided within the barrel adapted for linear movement parallel to a longitudinal axis with a distal tip of the needle contained within the syringe. A fluid retention reservoir is defined at least in the barrel and is in fluid communication with the needle when pressure is applied to the fluid in the reservoir and to the plunger for moving the needle out of the barrel. A spring may be provided for retracting the needle when pressure is released from the plunger.
