In one aspect, a medical injector is provided herein having a body and an overcap releasably attached to the body configured to prevent mounting of a needle prior to mixing of components within the body. In a further aspect, a slidable collet may be provided useable to urge resilient members from an outward disrupted state inwardly to collectively define a needle mount. Advantageously, a medical injector is provided which ensures proper sequence in preparation of the device, particularly with respect to the step of allowing mounting of a medical needle to the device subsequent to preparation of the medicament to be administered.

One embodiment is directed to a system for injecting, comprising a syringe body defining an interior medicine chamber; a stopper member configured to be inserted into the interior medicine chamber to contain medicine within the medicine chamber; a plunger member configured to be manually manipulated to insert the stopper member relative to the syringe body; and a needle having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end comprising an anchoring geometry configured to be at least partially inserted into the stopper member such that upon retraction of the stopper member, the needle is pulled proximally along with the stopper to be at least partially contained within the interior medicine chamber.

A reuse prevention mechanism includes a guidance arm with a pin engaged in a guidance contour adapted to control movement of the guidance pin, and a blocking part adapted to block access to a needle in a fourth position of the reuse prevention mechanism. The guidance contour is adapted to constrict linear movement of the reuse prevention mechanism in a direction from a first position to a third position.

A barrel adapter mountable to a syringe barrel includes a barrel tip, a biasing member, a locking mechanism, and a needle assembly. A safety syringe includes a barrel, a plunger assembly, and a barrel adapter. The needle assembly includes a needle, a needle hub, and a needle seal. The needle is configured to pass-through the needle assembly, locking mechanism, biasing member, and barrel tip such that, at one end the needle is within the barrel and at another end the needle passes through an aperture in the barrel tip. The barrel may be substantially cylindrical, having along its longitudinal axis a distal end for drug injection, a proximal end for injection control, and at least a portion of the barrel interior for drug containment. The barrel adapter provides needle retraction mechanisms to the barrel to form a safety syringe. Methods of assembling, manufacturing, and using such syringes are also provided.

A needle tip shielding device, comprising a base plate with a hole extending there through from the proximal side of the base plate to the distal side of the base plate, and at least one resilient arm extending at an attachment point at said base plate (101) is provided. The resilient arm has a resting state wherein a distal hook of the resilient arm will coincide with a straight imaginary line extending longitudinally through said hole in the axial direction of said base plate. The resilient arm comprises a knob at its distal end, said knob extending laterally from the resilient arm. The knob is shaped with an outer curvature in the transversal plane around an axis parallel to the central axis of the needle tip shielding device and said knob is shaped with an outer curvature in the midsaggital plane around an axis perpendicular to the central axis of the needle tip shielding device.

The present invention relates to a syringe-coupled safety assembly and a safety syringe including the same. According to one aspect of the present invention, provided is the syringe-coupled safety assembly comprising: a cover having a space part for allowing a syringe to enter therein, and a first through-hole through which a syringe needle passes; and a fixing unit having a second through-hole into which a syringe hub, in which the needle is mounted, is inserted, disposed inside the cover so as to be capable of proceeding in the direction becoming closer to the first through-hole and of retracting in the direction becoming farther from the first through-hole, fixed to the cover in a proceeded state, and provided so as to allow the syringe inserted into the second through-hole to retract when the fixed state thereof of the cover is released from the proceeded state.

One embodiment is directed to a system for injecting, comprising a syringe body defining an interior medicine chamber; a stopper member configured to be inserted into the interior medicine chamber to contain medicine within the medicine chamber; a plunger member configured to be manually manipulated to insert the stopper member relative to the syringe body; and a needle having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end comprising an anchoring geometry configured to be at least partially inserted into the stopper member such that upon retraction of the stopper member, the needle is pulled proximally along with the stopper to be at least partially contained within the interior medicine chamber.

The invention relates to a safety needle device, particularly for the puncture of a port implanted subcutaneously in a human or animal body, comprising a first housing; a hollow needle, wherein the needle has a first sub-section and a second sub-section, and the first sub-section extends along a puncture axis, which runs at a right angle to the surface of the human or animal body, and the second sub-section of the needle being arranged at a right angle to the first sub-section, substantially parallel to the surface of the human or animal body, wherein the hollow needle is or can be connected to the first housing, particularly in the region of the second sub-section; a cover comprising a through-hole for receiving the first sub-section of the needle, wherein the cover can be moved from a first position into a second position relative to the first housing, wherein the movement occurs substantially along the puncture axis; and an at least partially flexible limiting element for limiting the relative movement between the first housing and the cover in the second position; wherein the device is characterized in that the cover has, on the surface facing away from the human or animal body, a guide sleeve for the first sub-section of the needle.
