An auto-injector includes a chassis and a carrier subassembly. The carrier subassembly includes a carrier arranged inside a case, a drive spring, a plunger comprising a ramp member, the plunger configured to be pushed in a proximal direction by the drive spring, and a ramp attached to the carrier, wherein the ramp member on the plunger in an initial state is locked to the ramp on the carrier to form a ramped engagement to the carrier, the plunger prevented from rotating out of the ramped engagement depending on a relative longitudinal position of the carrier relative to the chassis, wherein the plunger is arranged to be released and to rotate out of the ramped engagement upon the carrier translating a pre-defined distance in a proximal direction relative to the chassis.

An autoinjector device and a method of use thereof for perispinal administration, comprising: a housing with an interspinous stop; a syringe assembly slidably mounted on the housing, the syringe assembly including a needle and a fluid container, an autoinjector actuator for urging the syringe assembly with respect to the housing from a storage position to a launch position wherein the needle travels through the interspinous stop; and a cap releasably engaged to the housing.

Systems, instruments, and methods are described in which an apparatus comprises a housing including a scalpet device. The scalpet device includes a scalpet array that includes scalpets arranged in a pattern. The scalpets are deployable from the housing to generate incised skin pixels at a target site. The housing is positioned and the scalpet array is deployed into tissue at the target site. Incised skin pixels are generated when the target site is a donor site, and skin defects are generated when the target site is a recipient site. The incised skin pixels are harvested.

A force actuated injection device including a body adapted to contain medication, a grip slidably disposed over the body, a lock disposed between the body and the grip, the lock when locked preventing movement of the grip relative to the body and when unlocked permitting movement of the grip relative to the body, a needle guard retractable relative to the body, a biasing member biasing the needle guard away from the body, and a resistance band disposed between the body and the needle guard adapted to resist initial needle guard retraction relative to the body, wherein force on the needle guard exceeding a predetermined amount overcomes a frictional force of the resistance band allowing the needle guard to retract relative to the body to unlock the grip relative to the body such that movement of the grip relative to the body causes medication to be delivered from the body.

This disclosure relates to an injection device, which is configured to be loaded with a syringe including an injection container and a needle, or loaded with an injection container and a needle. The injection device includes: an injection site gripper configured to grip an epidermis and subcutaneous tissue at an injection site; and a main machine coupled to the injection site gripper and configured to automatically perform an injection process at the gripped injection site. The injection device may grip the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue at the injection site, so that the needle penetrates to such a depth that does not enter the muscular tissue, thereby facilitating injection and reducing the user's pain. In addition, the injection device can automatically perform the injection process, which reduces the difficulty of operation and enables the user with insufficient injection experience to perform the injection process conveniently and efficiently.

Systems, instruments, and methods for minimally invasive procedures including one or more of fractional resection, fractional lipectomy, fractional skin grafting, fractional scar revision, and/or fractional tattoo removal are described. Embodiments include instrumentation comprising a scalpet assembly coupled to a carrier, and the scalpet assembly includes a scalpet array. The scalpet array includes one or more scalpets configured for fractional resection, fractional lipectomy, fractional skin grafting, fractional scar revision, and/or fractional tattoo removal. The system includes a vacuum component coupled to the scalpet assembly and configured to evacuate tissue from the a site. The carrier is configured to control application of a rotational force and/or a vacuum force to the scalpet assembly.
