A device for the needle tube of a syringe includes a housing which can pivot on a carrier element for the needle tube and which has an open housing side in the pivoting plane of the housing such that the needle tube can be swung into the housing in order to be held there after being used for injection. The arrangement of the rear free end of the needle tube in the carrier element enables controlled piercing, of the all of a container that is replaceable in the carrier element.

A medicament injection device comprising a main body arranged to receive a medicament cartridge; a needle carrier carrying a needle, wherein the needle carrier is axially movable with respect to the main body; and a rotatable cap at a distal end of the device, wherein the cap is removably coupled to the needle carrier, a releasable arrangement between the main body and the cap comprising a guide element and a slotted link, wherein the slotted link is arranged to cause the guide element to follow a predefined path at least partly in an axial direction during rotational movement of the cap, thereby causing the needle carrier to move axially towards a proximal end of the device as the cap is rotated up to a predefined point, wherein the main body comprises a medicament cartridge holder comprising the guide element depending therefrom for engagement with the cap.

One embodiment is directed to a system for injecting, comprising a syringe body defining an interior medicine chamber; a stopper member configured to be inserted into the interior medicine chamber to contain medicine within the medicine chamber; a plunger member configured to be manually manipulated to insert the stopper member relative to the syringe body; a needle having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end comprising an anchoring geometry configured to be at least partially penetrated into the stopper member such that upon retraction of the stopper member, the needle is pulled proximally along with the stopper to be at least partially contained within the interior medicine chamber; and an energy-storing member operatively coupled between the stopper member and the syringe body, the energy-storing member configured to facilitate retraction of the stopper member relative to the syringe body.

A medicament injection device includes a main body configured to receive a medicament cartridge sealed by a first penetrable barrier, a cap assembly including a button cap and a carrier unit, the button cap being rotatable with respect to the carrier unit and wherein the button cap is prevented from being displaced axially in a proximal direction unless the button is rotated into alignment with respect to the carrier unit, a needle carrier releasably coupled to the carrier unit, the needle carrier carrying a needle having a proximal end and a distal end, the needle carrier being releasably coupled to the push button. Subsequent to rotational alignment of the button cap with respect to the carrier unit, the button cap is axially displaceable in the proximal direction. Axial displacement of the button cap in the proximal direction causes the needle carrier to be displaced axially in the proximal direction.

An injector may include a container having a wall with an interior surface and a seal assembly with an interior surface, the interior surfaces of the wall and the seal assembly defining a closed sterile reservoir filled with a drug product. The injector may also include a fluid delivery system comprising a clean, unsheathed, rigid container needle having a point disposed only partially through the seal assembly in a storage state, and disposed through the interior surface of the seal assembly into the sterile reservoir in a delivery state. Further, the injection may include an actuator that is adapted to move the container needle from the storage state to the delivery state.

A medicament injection device comprising: a needle holder holding a needle, a pivotable cartridge holder, the pivotable cartridge holder being pivotable from an open state to a closed state, wherein the pivotable cartridge holder is arranged to receive a medicament cartridge in the open state, and wherein the needle holder is axially movable towards the pivotable cartridge holder when the pivotable cartridge holder is in the closed state.

An injector may include a container having a wall with an interior surface and a seal assembly with an interior surface, the interior surfaces of the wall and the seal assembly defining a closed sterile reservoir filled with a drug product, including a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). The injector may also include a fluid delivery system comprising a clean, unsheathed, rigid container needle having a point disposed only partially through the seal assembly in a storage state, and disposed through the interior surface of the seal assembly into the sterile reservoir in a delivery state. Further, the injection may include an actuator that is adapted to move the container needle from the storage state to the delivery state.

An injector for delivering a liquid medicament is provided. The injector comprises: a housing having an opening at a first end and a cartridge contained within the housing, wherein the cartridge comprises a first fitting mechanism which is directed outwards from the opening of the housing; a removable cap; and a needle assembly supported on the removable cap, wherein the needle assembly has a second fitting mechanism which is directed outwards from a distal end of the removable cap, the removable cap being further configured such that each of the distal end and the proximal end of the removable cap are engageable with the opening of the housing, wherein the first fitting mechanism is complementary with the second fitting mechanism such that the needle assembly is connectable to the cartridge by joining the first and second fitting mechanisms.

A wearable drug delivery device that can deliver a liquid drug stored in a container to a patient is provided. The container can be a prefilled cartridge that can be loaded into the drug delivery device by the patient or that can be preloaded within the drug delivery device when provided to the patient. A sealed end of the container is pierced to couple the stored liquid drug to a needle conduit that is coupled to a needle insertion component that provides access to the patient. A drive system of the drug delivery device can expel the liquid drug from the cartridge to the patient through the needle conduit. The drive system can be controlled to provide the liquid drug to the patient in a single dose or over multiple doses.

A multi-use injection device (100) for multiple subcutaneous injections, wherein the injection device comprises a device main portion (110) and a multi-use needle unit (150) adapted to prevent unintended introduction of living microorganisms into a reservoir (114) of the device main portion during use of the injection device, and thereby promote bacteriostasis of a multiple-use drug preparation (115) during a use period with multiple injections. The drug delivery device (100) is adapted to enable multiple injections, without accidentally introducing living microbial contaminations into the reservoir during use, by adapting the multi-use needle to: (i) sterilize contaminations introduced into the distal needle after each exposure of a distal injection needle (156), (ii) restrict diffusion and flow from the distal needle (156) to the reservoir (114) with a valve (170), (iii), and by allowing the needle unit to remain mounted in the in-use configuration during the use period with multiple injections.
