In an embodiment, a resettable injection training device and a method embodiment for resetting the device is provided herein. The device may include a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, the housing defining a cavity there within. A plunger may be slidable relative to the housing between the proximal end and the distal end. A releasably locking shield having a proximal end and a distal end, and being slidably engaged with the housing is also provided. The shield may be slidable between a retracted, pre-use position an extended, locked, post-use position. The device may further include a flat biasing member for locking the shield in the extended position, and a compressing component slidable relative to the housing, wherein pressure on the flat biasing member from the compressing component deforms the flat biasing member, and unlocks the shield, and wherein a release of pressure by the compressing component on the flat biasing member locks the shield in an extended, post-use position.

An automatically retracting safety needle assembly configured to receive a syringe. The assembly has distal and proximal ends, and comprises: a housing, with internal housing (IH), and a base wall. A moving sleeve (MOS): at least partially within the IH; having a flange wall; axially movable. A biasing element (BE), within the IH, biasing the MOS proximally. A syringe, receiving a plunger rod; movable axially within the IH, and coupled to the MOS. An activation fork (AF), partially disposed within the IH. AF has a guiding arm coupled with the IH and the MOS; preventing motion of the MOS during non-deployment state. An automatic retraction mechanism, retracting the syringe after injection. Deployment: advance plunger rod and the AF axially (distally), until AF guiding arm allows proximal movement of the MOS, retracting the syringe. Distal advancement of plunger rod is constant without an abrupt increase in resistive force; allowing safe disposal.

An apparatus for use with a syringe for providing a safety syringe, the apparatus including a sheath (100; 300; 500) deployable for at least partially covering a needle (126) of the syringe; and a sheath actuator (102; 302; 502) for deploying the sheath by interaction with a sheath deployment mechanism (104; 304; 504); the sheath being configured to be stationary in relation to the needle until a syringe plunger (116; 316; 516) reaches a sheath release point on its inward stroke, and the sheath actuator being configured for deployment of the sheath on movement of the sheath actuator relative to the syringe plunger after the sheath release point.

Devices and methods for a compact injector ar provided with a compact configuration for ease of carrying or storage, and an activated configuration ready for injection. In the compact configuration, a plunger and a needle are both retracted into the injector housing, and upon actuation to the activated configuration, the plunger extends proximally and the needle extends distally, ready for injection. An extendable needle shield is also provided to block visibility of the needle during injection, and to reduce the risk of inadvertent needle stick at other times, including disposal.

Embodiments provided herein include a resettable injection training device having a body, a plunger slidable relative thereto, an injection simulation member and retractable and extendable shield, wherein the shield releasably locks in a retracted position prior to use. After use of the training device, the shield extends over the injection simulation member to prevent contact with the injection simulation member. Resetting of the slidable shield occurs by applying a force onto a distal end of the shield to retract the shield until a shield locking surface interacts with a locking surface on the body to maintain the shield in a retracted position. Release of the shield from a retracted position to an extended position may occur by moving the plunger toward a distal end of the body until a contact region at a proximal end of the plunger releases the shield locking surface from the body locking surface to release the shield.

A safety device for an injection syringe including a syringe support, a protective sheath for protecting an injection needle carried by the injection syringe, the protective sheath being mounted to slide relative to the syringe support between an injection position in which the needle is uncovered, and a protection position in which the needle is covered, the protective sheath having an initial grip surface enabling the device to be gripped by a user, the initial grip surface being a projection that extends outward from the protective sheath, and a return spring for urging the sheath into the protection position. The sheath also includes an extender member for extending the initial grip surface, being a separate piece from the protective sheath, attached to the protective sheath in such a manner as to present an enlarged grip surface, larger than the initial grip surface.

The present disclosure describes a needle guard device or system that can be used with drugs requiring reconstitution. The needle guard is preferably a passive needle guard that can be used during reconstitution without activating the safety mechanism. Following administration of the medication, the needle guard shields a user from inadvertent needle sticks by extending a protective shield over the needle.

A syringe holder includes: a barrel body that holds a syringe; a holder opening; deformation promoting portions; and radial movement-restricting portions. The radial movement-restricting portions are provided close to the deformation promoting portions. Being brought into contact with first portions, the radial movement-restricting portions restrict the syringe from moving in a radial direction with respect to the barrel body.

An accessory for an injection device having a needle cap. The accessory comprises a body portion comprising a recess adapted to receive the injection device and a cover coupled to the body portion. The cover is pivotally moveable between an open position and a closed position. The accessory further comprises a cap remover comprising a grip adapted to hold the needle cap. The body portion comprises a track within which the cap remover is arranged to move axially with respect to the body portion. The track is adapted such that when the injection device is located in the body portion the cap remover is held against the track by the injection device.

A safety device for an injection syringe including a syringe support, a protective sheath for protecting an injection needle carried by the syringe, the sheath being mounted to slide relative to the syringe support between an injection position in which the needle is uncovered, and a protection position in which the needle is covered, the sheath having an initial grip surface enabling the device to be gripped by a user, and a return spring for urging the sheath into the protection position. The sheath also includes an extender member for extending the initial grip surface and fitted on the sheath in such a manner as to present a larger grip surface, referred to as an enlarged grip surface.
