The present invention relates to a prefillable syringe with safety features that renders it auto-disable with user-controlled needle retraction after use. These features prevent re-use and greatly minimise the risk of needle stick injuries. The prefillable syringe has simple mechanisms that are devoid of any spring components and enables efficient administration of medicine without any possibility of leakage. The autodisable mechanism occurs via a locking arrangement between the needle holder and plunger, while needle retraction is facilitated via a locking arrangement between the plunger and plunger extension. Tamper prevention of the auto-disable mechanism occurs through a uniquely designed finger flange extension and/or barrel design modification. The unique design of the barrel tip allows for the needle cap to securely form a seal over the needle (if staked) to prevent any leakage prior to use.

A syringe, comprising: a barrel, comprising a needle accommodating-cavity and a plunger accommodating-cavity; a pull-back element, accommodated in the needle accommodating-cavity, wherein a needle is mounted on the pull-back element; a plunger, disposed in the plunger accommodating-cavity and movable between pushed-in and pulled-out position, wherein a head portion of the plunger enters the cavity of the pull-back element proximate to the plunger accommodating-cavity and is engaged therein in the pushed-in position; a biasing force structure, disposed in the cavity of the pull-back element and/or the head portion of the plunger, wherein the head portion of applies a biasing force on the pull-back element through the biasing force structure, and when the head portion is moved to the pulled-out position, the biasing force structure causes the pull-back element and the needle to tilt with respect to the axis of the barrel through the biasing force.

A single-hand controlled syringe with plunger extension includes a barrel, a plunger fit to the barrel, and a plunger extension integrated with the plunger. The plunger extension consists of a head, a back, and a body between the head and the back. The body of the plunger extension is oriented parallel to the plunger, with integrated connection at the back of the plunger extension and the back of the plunger. Depressing the head of the plunger extension moves the syringe from the contracted state to the retracted state. Such syringe with plunger extension is useful to draw blood or fluid with a single hand.

An injection device, comprising an interface for mounting on a syringe body, the interface comprising an internal passage delimited by an inner wall, a needle and a sheath for receiving said needle, said sheath comprising an outer wall provided with a contact portion of said sheath in contact with an attachment portion of the inner wall of the interface, wherein the contact portion comprises a first bead and in that the attachment portion comprises a second bead, the first and second beads each forming a ring protruding respectively on the contact portion and the attachment portion, the first bead being in contact with the second bead.

A syringe provided with a body, a piston capable of sliding in the body, and an injection device comprising a needle oriented along a longitudinal axis and a casing removably secured to the body and carrying said needle. The casing comprising a plurality of flexible tabs, each provided with a stop. The piston comprising a docking system having a housing comprising a flange configured to hold the stops of the flexible tabs in the housing in an insertion position in which the tabs are inserted into the housing, the plurality of tabs in opposing areas around the longitudinal axis. The flange comprising bearing areas configured to be in contact with corresponding tabs in the insertion position. The tabs are configured to exert an elastic pressure on corresponding bearing areas in the insertion position, and the bearing areas are dissymmetrical relative to the longitudinal axis.

An injection head, for injecting a fluid substance, and a syringe comprising such a head, wherein the head has a connection body continued by a hollow tube intended to communicate with the outlet of the reservoir and having a distal end, and a needle having a pointed distal end, the head additionally comprising means for controlling the relative movement of the needle with respect to the hollow tube between a puncturing position, in which the pointed end of the needle, which is extendable in the hollow tube, protrudes from the distal end of the hollow tube, and a position for monitoring and characterizing the liquid coming from the injection site, the pointed distal end of the needle being set back from the distal end of the hollow tube in the position.

A system for injecting includes a syringe body defining a proximal opening and a distal needle interface. The system also includes a plunger member defining a plunger interior and configured to be manually manipulated to insert a stopper member relative to the syringe body, the plunger member. The plunger member includes a needle retention feature disposed in the plunger interior, an energy-storage member disposed in the plunger interior, and an energy-storage member latching member disposed in the plunger interior. The system further includes a needle hub assembly coupled to the distal needle interface of the syringe body. 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. The needle is at least partially retractable into plunger interior. The needle proximal end feature includes an annular distally facing surface.

A system for injecting includes a cartridge body defining a proximal opening and a distal needle interface. The system also includes a plunger member defining a plunger interior and configured to be manually manipulated to insert a stopper member relative to the cartridge body. The plunger member includes a needle retention feature disposed in the plunger interior, an energy-storage member disposed in the plunger interior, and an energy-storage member latching member disposed in the plunger interior. The system further includes a needle hub assembly coupled to the distal needle interface of the cartridge body. 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. The needle is retractable into plunger interior upon manipulation of the plunger member to actuate the energy-storage member latching member.

Apparatus and methods for a single, handheld device that provides for both insertion of a catheter and collection of a fluid. Some embodiments further include a needle that assists in the insertion of the catheter into a blood vessel, and which includes a retraction feature that protects the user from an accidental needle stick when the device is ready for disposal. Still further embodiments include a protective cover that prevents a user from accidentally being stuck by a second needle used for the introduction of the patient's blood into a collection device.
