The present disclosure relates to a ratchet mechanism and to an injection device for expelling of a number of preset or user-selectable doses of a medicament. The ratchet mechanism comprises a housing and a ratchet member that is circularly shaped and rotationally supported relative to the housing. The ratchet member comprises a ratchet surface, a plurality of ratchet features on the ratchet surface, and one or more intermediate ratchet sections on the ratchet surface extending between the plurality of ratchet features. The ratchet mechanism further comprises a counter ratchet member that is circularly shaped, coaxially arranged relative to the ratchet member, rotatable relative to the ratchet member at least along a first sense of rotation, and rotationally supported relative to the housing. The counter ratchet member comprises a counter ratchet surface, a plurality of counter ratchet features on the counter ratchet surface, and one or more intermediate counter ratchet sections.

A cannula comprising a hollow tube made of a biocompatible, thermoplastic polymer, memory shape material, tipped with an injection needle at it distal end, assumes desired shapes as it distally emerges from a lumen or channel of an instrument such as an introducer or endoscope. The desires shape includes a curvature conforming to an inverse tangent function. The cannula may be supplied alone, with or without an injection needle, and in a sterile pouch, for use with a device of an user's choice that has a suitable lumen or channel to guide the cannula, of the cannula may be used without such an instrument.

An incremental syringe configured for displacement of fluid, such as medicaments is disclosed. The syringe may comprise detents on the syringe plunger configured to provide tactile feedback, audible feedback, or both, for discrete units of fluid aspirated or injected to or from the syringe. In some embodiments, a second set of detents is included, and in some embodiments a third set of detents is included.

An injection device for delivering equal doses of a fluid contained in a reservoir, the device having a housing, and an arming mechanism and a dose delivery mechanism arranged therein, the housing coupled to an enclosure for the reservoir. The arming mechanism includes an axially non-displaceable and rotatable setting sleeve. The setting sleeve is coupled with a spring strained by the rotation of the setting sleeve during arming of the device. The dose delivery mechanism includes a screw ring and a non-rotatable and axially displaceable piston rod within the setting sleeve. The piston rod cooperates with the screw ring so that during arming, the screw ring and the piston rod are immobilized, and during delivery of each dose the piston rod is displaced along the housing due to unwinding of the spring and rotation of the screw ring, the displacement of the piston rod causing the fluid to be discharged from the reservoir.

An injection device includes a housing; a receptacle for injection fluid; a dosing piston to press out the injection fluid; a feed part connected to the dosing piston via a first threaded connection; a slide having a thread of a second threaded connection; and, a setting part having a thread of a third threaded connection and configured to set an amount of injection fluid to be dispensed. The setting part moves in the distal direction by virtue of the third threaded connection when the amount of injection fluid to be dispensed is being set. The setting part can move in the proximal direction when the injection fluid is pressed out. A latching unit defines a latching position of the setting part and acts between the setting part and housing. Each latching position has an unequivocal rotational position of the setting part in relation to the housing assigned thereto.

The present disclosure relates to an injection device for expelling of a number of preset or user-selectable doses of a medicament, the injection device comprising: an elongated housing (10; 310; 410) extending along a longitudinal axis (1), an expelling mechanism (2) comprising a trigger (70) and a piston rod (30), a dose setting mechanism (3) comprising a rotatable member (260; 360; 460; 560) and a counterpart member (240; 340; 440; 540), wherein the counterpart member and the rotatable member comprise a first mechanical code (242; 342; 442; 542) and a second mechanical code (262; 362; 462; 562), respectively, wherein for setting of a dose the rotatable member (260; 360; 460; 560) is rotatable relative to the housing (10; 310; 410) and relative to the counterpart member (240; 340; 440; 40) within a range of numerous rotational states, and wherein during setting of the dose the rotatable member (260; 360; 460; 560) is constrained along the longitudinal axis (1) relative to the housing (10; 310; 410) or relative to the counterpart member (240; 340; 440; 540), wherein for expelling of a dose one of the rotatable member (260; 360; 460; 560) and the counterpart member (240; 340; 440; 540) is displaceable along the longitudinal axis (1) into an expelling position (e) relative to the other one of the rotatable member (260; 360; 460; 560) and the counterpart member (240; 340; 440; 540) only when the first mechanical code (242; 342; 442; 542) is aligned with the second mechanical code (262; 362; 462; 562).

The present embodiments provide for simple devices that guide the loading and dispensing of accurate small doses of fluid from standard injection syringes.

An auxiliary module for connecting to an injector for dispensing a medical substance comprises a housing having a retaining device, and a receiving unit having a retaining element, wherein the receiving unit is movable relative to the housing. The auxiliary module includes a retaining configuration, in which the receiving unit is immovably retained in the housing by the retaining device, and in which the retaining element can cooperate with the injector in such a way that the injector is retained by the receiving unit and the retaining element is locked by the housing. The auxiliary module also includes a release configuration, in which the receiving unit is released from the retaining device and the injector is released from the retaining element. The auxiliary module can be adjusted from the retaining configuration into the release configuration, and back again, by an adjustment movement of the receiving unit.

The present invention relates to injectors, such as pen-type injectors, that provide for administration of medicinal products from a multidose-cartridge and permit a user to set the delivery dose. The injector may include a housing, a piston rod adapted to operate through the housing, a dose dial sleeve located between the housing and the piston rod, and a drive sleeve located between the dose dial sleeve and the piston rod. The dose dial sleeve may have a helical thread of first lead and the drive sleeve may have a helical groove of second lead. The first lead of the helical thread and the second lead of the helical groove may be the same.
