Medicament delivery device comprising a movable guard (10) being movable between a proximal and a distal position and a locking mechanism (15) having a lever (16), the lever (16) restricting movement of an actuation locking member (24) until the movable guard is positioned in a distal position and the lever (16) restricting movement of the guard (10) in a proximal position after actuation of the device.

Auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament includes a housing to contain a syringe with a hollow needle and a stopper for sealing the syringe and displacing the medicament, the housing having a distal end and a proximal end with an orifice to apply against an injection site. A spring means, upon activation, can push the needle from inside the housing through the orifice and past the proximal end, operate the syringe to supply the dose of medicament, and retract the syringe with the needle after delivering the medicament. An activating means can lock the spring means in a pressurized state prior to manual operation and capable of, upon manual operation, releasing the spring means for injection.

A blood collection tube holder that prevents a blood collection tube from falling even when pressed by an elastic sheath body being compressed is provided. A blood collection tube holder 1 includes a blood collection tube holder body 11 and a holding member 12. The blood collection tube holder body 11 includes a needle tube 17 supported by a needle base 15, and an elastic sheath body 18 covering the needle tube 17, and the holding member 12 includes a press-contact member 22. The blood collection tube holder body 11 includes a tongue-shaped protrusion piece 20.

A drug injection device (10) including a housing (12) for holding a container (20) having a needle (24) for penetrating skin and a plunger (42) for expelling a drug stored in the container. The device includes visual and/or audible indicators for indicating that the correct depth of needle penetration has been achieved and that drug injection/extrusion has been started and/or completed. The device may further include a label (140) for visually confirming the quality of the drug contained therein. Alternatively, a tray (110) may be provided for receiving the drug injection device, which allows the quality of the drug contained therein to be visually confirmed.

Needle assembly having the following modes of operation; a first mode wherein the safety shield can move to a first retracted position allowing injection of the piercing portion of needle from a position at least partially covering the piercing portion of the needle and a second mode wherein the safety shield moves to a position protecting the piercing portion of the needle after the first mode and is prevented from moving back to a position exposing the piercing portion of the needle.

The invention relates to an injection device for self-administration of doses of a liquid drug. The injection device carries a needle cannula (15) which is concealed by a telescopically movable shield (20). Further a stopping means (30) interconnects the shield with the helical rotatable scale sleeve (25) such that the shield can only be operated proximally when the scale sleeve is rotated away from its zero position. Once the scale sleeve returns to its zero position during expelling of the dose, the shield and the stopping means is allowed to slide distally and thus return to the locked position.

A safety syringe comprising a barrel having an opening at an end thereof and a bung positioned in the barrel and creating a volume between the opening and the bung. The safety syringe also comprises a handle portion secured to the barrel and a syringe plunger slidably engaged with the handle portion and moveable within the barrel on an inward stroke to drive the bung forwards within the barrel to cause a substance within the volume to be expelled from the opening. The safety syringe further comprises a rotation mechanism configured to rotate the syringe plunger within the barrel at a point during the inward stroke when the syringe plunger is in contact with the bung, such that a rotational force is applied to the barrel and a brake connected to the handle portion and configured to provide a frictional force to resist the rotational force applied to the barrel.

A medical injection system comprising: a syringe provided with a barrel, a stopper and an injection needle; a plunger rod which engages with the stopper; an injection lock preventing relative movement of the plunger rod with respect to the barrel; and a needle guard comprising a trigger portion and configured to slidably engage the barrel so as to define a first position covering the injection needle and a second position not covering a predetermined portion of the injection needle. The trigger portion is adapted to disengage the injection lock from the plunger rod when the needle guard moves from the first position to the second position.

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).

A medicament delivery device is disclosed having a housing, an actuation mechanism capable of delivering doses of medicament from a medicament container and arranged with a delivery member, a shield, a guard movable within the housing, wherein the guard is operably connected to the actuation mechanism. A protective cap is releasably arranged on the housing and having a shield remover. A blocking element on the guard is movable between a blocking position and a release position and has an engagement surface to engage a proximal area of the housing. The blocking element engages with a surface of the shield remover to retain the blocking element in the blocking position. The engagement surface causes a blocking of the guard from movement and removal of the protective cap enables a movement of the blocking element to a release position when the engagement surface engages the proximal area allowing the member guard to move.
