A pen needle (10) includes a hub (34) supporting a needle (28) and a distal needle shield (14) that can retract to expose the needle during injection and return to the extended position after use and locked in the extended position cover the needle. A proximal needle shield (16) moves to an extended position with respect to the hub (34) to cover a proximal end (34) of the needle. A spring (64) extends between the distal needle shield (14) and the proximal needle shield (16) to bias each needle shield to the respective extended position. A locking member (78) on the distal needle shield cooperates with the hub to lock the needle shields in the extended position. An indicator (94) in the hub engages and couples to the distal needle shield (14) when moved to the retracted position. The indicator (94) moves with the distal needle shield (14) to the extended position where the indicator is visible through the distal needle shield (14) indicating that the pen needle is no longer usable.

A syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel (12) having a proximal end and a distal end, a needle hub (20) supporting the needle and coupled to the distal end of the syringe barrel (12). A moveable shield (36) is included for sliding from a first position where the needle is exposed a first length, a second position where the needle is exposed a second length less than said first length, and a third position covering a distal end of the needle. A locking mechanism (48, 86) is included to retain the shield in the second position while enabling the shield to slide to the third position, and to lock the shield in the third position to prevent re-use of the syringe.

A method of providing and/or injecting octreotide acetate to a subject in need thereof includes storing the octreotide acetate in a cartridge of a multi-use multi-dose injector provided with a variable dose setter and actuator. The injector includes a needle configured for subcutaneous administration of the octreotide acetate, the octreotide acetate having a concentration of 2,500 g/mL. The method further includes permitting setting of a dose of the octreotide acetate by rotation of the variable dose setter. The injector is configured to provide at least one audible feedback during the rotation. The method further includes operating the actuator to deliver the octreotide acetate from the cartridge through the needle to treat the subject. The injector is provided with multiple surface portions.

A pen needle (10) includes a hub (12) supporting a needle (30), an inner shield (14) enclosing the distal end of the needle, and an outer cover (16). The outer surface of the hub can include ribs (66) that cooperate with ribs (72) on the inner surface of the outer cover to assist in attaching the pen needle to a delivery device while preventing over torqueing or over tightening. In one embodiment, the inner shield (14) has a dimension to attach to the distal end of the hub (12) after use to enclose the proximal, non-patent end of the needle. In another embodiment, the outer cover (16) includes a closure member that can be removed during use and re-attached after use to cover the proximal end of the needle.

The present invention provides a pen needle (100) comprises a torsion spring (116); a pivot (118) rotatably disposed on the hub (105) about the needle (101), the pivot (118) is engaging with the hub (105) through a torsion spring (116), wherein the pivot (118) having a ramp, the ramp further include a holding bar projected over the ramp of the pivot (118); and a slider (114) installed over the hub (105) for covering the tip of the needle (101), the slider (114) is slidable linearly along a longitudinal of the center axis, with lug defined radially at the proximal end the slider (114), wherein when the pen needle 100 is assembled, the lug of the slider (114) is parked on the holding bar supporting the slider (114) at a position covering the tip of the needle 101 thereunder.

The present disclosure provides a rotator for a medicament delivery device. The rotator includes a tubular body extending from a proximal end to a distal end relative to an axis and in a circumferential direction relative to the axis. The rotator also includes one or more ridges extending from a surface of the tubular body, the one or more ridges defining a track on the surface of the tubular body. The track extends from a distal end of the track to a proximal end of the track relative to the axis. The track includes one pathway at the distal end of the track and two pathways at the proximal end of the track. The two pathways at the proximal end of the track are separated by a ridge portion of the one or more ridges, and the ridge portion comprises a flexible arm.

The present disclosure provides a sub-assembly for a medicament delivery device, the sub-assembly comprising a housing extending from a proximal end to a distal end along a longitudinal axis, and a medicament delivery member guard arranged telescopically inside the housing. The medicament delivery member guard is arranged to move from a proximal position relative to the housing in which the medicament delivery member guard extends from the proximal end of the housing to a distal position relative to the housing. When in the distal position, a contact portion of the medicament delivery member guard extends further from the longitudinal axis than an outer surface of the proximal portion of the housing, so that, during an injection, contact between an injection site and the outer surface of the proximal portion of the housing is limited due to contact between said injection site and the contact portion of the medicament delivery member guard. The contact portion of the medicament delivery member guard comprises a protrusion and the housing comprises a corresponding cut-out in the outer surface of the proximal portion of the housing, the protrusion being arranged so that it extends through the corresponding cut-out when the medicament delivery member guard is in the distal position relative to the housing.

A pen needle and a method of using the pen needle. The pen needle includes a housing, a needle carrier in the housing supporting a needle, a distal shroud positioned around the needle within the housing, a distal compression spring positioned around the needle between the needle carrier and the distal shroud, a proximal shroud positioned around the needle within the housing, and a proximal compression spring positioned around the needle between the needle and the proximal shroud. The proximal shroud is movable between a first position, in which the proximal shroud engages the distal shroud to hold the distal shroud in engagement with the housing, and a second position in which the proximal shroud is disengaged from the distal shroud allowing the distal shroud to move in a distal direction to project from the housing and surround a distal end of the needle.

A pen needle (10) includes a hub (12) supporting a needle (30), an inner shield (14) enclosing the distal end of the needle, and an outer cover (16). The outer surface of the hub can include ribs (66) that cooperate with ribs (72) on the inner surface of the outer cover to assist in attaching the pen needle to a delivery device while preventing over torqueing or over tightening. In one embodiment, the inner shield (14) has a dimension to attach to the distal end of the hub (12) after use to enclose the proximal, non-patent end of the needle. In another embodiment, the outer cover (16) includes a closure member that can be removed during use and re-attached after use to cover the proximal end of the needle.

The present disclosure provides an injection pen needle, which includes a needle head, a needle seat, an outer sleeve, a sliding sleeve and a limit ring, wherein the needle head is arranged on the needle seat; the needle seat comprises baffle plates; the outer sleeve is arranged on the needle seat in a sleeving manner; the lower part of the sliding sleeve enters the outer sleeve and is adapted to move up and down in the outer sleeve, and a channel hole, from which the needle head can penetrate out, is formed in the top of the sliding sleeve; the limit ring is arranged in the outer sleeve; the limit ring comprises sliding blocks; the bottom of the sliding sleeve pushes against the limit ring; and when the sliding sleeve moves up and down in the outer sleeve.
