This invention belongs to the field of medicine and surgical instruments, and is intended to provide a new route of drug administration through needles plated with specific metals, aiming at better drug distribution and absorption upon administration, more precisely in the eyeball and/or on the patient's skin in order to increase its efficacy in relation to other means of drug delivery known in the medical field, especially in skin, mucous and ocular diseases. The invention allows drug delivery to the skin and/or subcutaneous tissue, by means of a duly modified tattoo machine, which instead of ink, uses drugs, as a product to be inserted in the skin. In addition, the invention can be used to administer drugs directly to a person's eyeball, offering great practicality and agility to surgical procedures.

A system for serially injecting liquids includes a syringe body, proximal and distal stopper members disposed in the syringe body, a first liquid in a distal chamber, a second liquid in a proximal chamber, a plunger member, and a needle hub assembly coupled to a distal needle interface of the syringe body. The plunger member includes a needle retention feature disposed in a plunger interior, an energy-storage member disposed in the plunger interior, and an energy-storage member latching member disposed in the plunger interior. The needle assembly includes a needle having a needle proximal end feature, a hub, and a needle latching member configured to couple the needle to the hub. Manipulating the plunger member to insert the proximal stopper member distally relative to the syringe body initially expels the first liquid, then the second liquid. The needle is at least partially retractable into plunger interior.

An injector may include a container having a wall with an interior surface defining a closed sterile reservoir filled with a drug product. The injector may also include a fluid delivery system comprising a sterile container needle that is in fluid communication with the container in a delivery state, but may or may not be in fluid communication with the container in a storage state. Further, the injector may include an actuator that is adapted to move the container needle from the storage state to the delivery state.

A cannula holder capable of securing a cannula to the holder at the time of piercing work, and easily removing the cannula from the holder using tweezers or the like. The cannula holder, to which a piercing needle for piercing an eyeball and a cannula are attached when attaching the cannula used in ophthalmic operations to the eyeball, includes claw portions that are formed on a front end of the cannula holder and which press sides of the cannula either at positions where said claw portions face each other or from multiple directions. A depression may be provided in a side of the front end of the cannula holder, allowing visibility of a part of a back end of the cannula from the depression.

An attachable needle assembly (102) for use on a medication delivery pen (104), the needle assembly (102) comprising a housing (1 10) enclosing a hub (106) having a communication needle (108) configured to engage the medication delivery pen (104) and pierce a reservoir septum of the medication delivery pen (104), a communication septum (172, 176) of the needle assembly (102) defining a septum chamber (180, 182) that is in fluid communication with the communication needle (108), a plurality of needles (118) disposed in the communication septum (172, 176), a follower ring (130) that determines which needle (124) of the plurality of needles (118) is to be selected, and a snap ring (136) that exposes the selected needle (124) and moves the selected needle (124) in fluid communication with the septum chamber (180, 182), wherein when the housing (110) is in a first position, the plurality of needles (118) is not exposed, and when the housing (110) is in a second position, the selected needle (124) is in fluid communication with the septum chamber (180, 182) and exposed for medicament delivery.
