A needle assembly is disclosed, which includes a needle protection member and a rotor. The rotor has a rotor body and a restriction portion. When the needle protection member in the initial state is displaced from the protection position to a use position and returns to a protection position, the restriction portion is displaced from the initial position to the lock position by the rotation of the rotor body with respect to the needle protection member. A needle hub has a displacement prevention portion that prevents the needle protection member from being displaced from the protection position to the use position again by contacting the restriction portion at the lock position.

An infusion cannula unit made of plastic has a cannula for insertion in a blood vessel. A housing of the unit has a supply line portion the line axis of which runs at an angle relative to a cannula longitudinal axis, said angle being greater than 10°. The supply line portion is in fluid communication with a lumen of the cannula. The infusion cannula unit has a one-piece design. This results in a unit which is easy to produce and in particular suitable for mass production.

Infusion systems and methods for administering an infusion fluid into a patients anatomic space at a variable flow rate without flow control include an administration set having a flexible tube fluidically connected to a needle connector, the needle connector including a receiving end fluidically connected to flexible tube, and an administering end opposite the receiving end and fluidically connected with an infusion needle, and the infusion needle having an inside diameter of about 0.0104 inches to about 0.0135 inches and fluidically connected to the administering end of the flexible tubing to deliver the infusion fluid to the patients anatomic space at variable flow rates dependent upon the saturation of the infusion fluid at the patients injection site.

A drug injection device contains a needle holder, an ejector, a needle member, and an actuation assembly. The needle holder defines a drug delivery direction extending toward the injection end. The ejector contains a fixing segment that is fixed to the needle holder and located in the drug delivery direction, and the abutting segment extending toward the injection end and protruding beyond the needle holder. The needle member is movably arranged relative to the needle holder and contains a needle shaft connected to a needle hub coaxially arranged with the ejector for the abutting segment inserting into the needle shaft. The actuator assembly connects the needle holder and the needle shaft for driving the needle member between a first position and a second position with respect to the needle holder.

A syringe assembly for a drug delivery device. The syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis. A needle assembly is operatively coupled to the syringe barrel and includes a needle hub and a needle attached to the needle hub. A flexible connection is disposed between the syringe barrel and the needle hub and forms a fluid pathway between the syringe barrel and the needle. The flexible connection enables the needle assembly to be moveable from a filling position, in which a longitudinal axis of the needle assembly is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the syringe barrel, to an assembled position, in which the longitudinal axis of the needle assembly is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the syringe barrel.

Drug delivery devices are provided having a needle assembly portion and a drug device portion, where the needle assembly portion is removably coupleable to the drug device portion. In some embodiments, the needle of the needle assembly may be moveable from a retracted position to an extended position for piercing into a subjects skin. In some embodiments, the needle may also be moveable back to a retracted position.

An injection device including a syringe including a barrel having a distal end and a proximal end and a tip provided on the distal end of the barrel, the barrel defining an internal bore extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the barrel; a luer lock adaptor including a body having a proximal end and a distal end, a reduced-diameter portion provided on the proximal end of the body, and a threading provided on an outer surface of the body, the reduced-diameter portion defining an opening to receive the tip of the syringe in a friction fit; and a needle hub including a body defining an inner cavity, a needle receiving portion extending distally from the body, and a skirt extending inwardly into the inner cavity.

The present invention provides a needle unit (10) for use with a pen injection device, wherein the needle unit (10) comprises a needle shield (50) and an axially movable needle hub (25).

Methods and apparatus to reduce deadspace in syringes and other devices with the use of volume displacing members that occupy space within one or more interior spaces of such devices. The volume displacing members are also equipped with one or more internal flow passages that facilitate a flow of a fluid through it. The volume displacing members are also adapted to cooperate with features of the devices that house them to form air-tight and liquid-tight seals that at least partially determine a fluid pathway through the devices.
