A safety needle device is disclosed having a housing configured to couple to a syringe, the housing having a proximal end, a distal end, and a housing body. A needle hub is disposed on the proximal end of the housing and a needle cannula is attached to the needle hub. The device having a retractable sheath configured to move between an initial position, a retracted position and an extended position with respect to the housing, wherein the initial position partially exposes a distal tip of the needle cannula, the retracted position fully exposes the needle cannula, and the extended position fully covers the distal tip of the needle cannula. The safety needle device may include an activation latch, a lockout latch, a tether and a spring element to bias the retractable sheath to an extended state to cover the distal end of the needle cannula upon completion of an injection. The safety needle device may include a slider element disposed above an activation latch. A method of drug delivery is also disclosed.

A syringe assembly includes a main part with a bottom part and a top part. A compressible portion is connected to the top part, and a press unit is formed to the top the compressible portion. A needle is fixed to the top part and located within the compressible portion. The tip of the needle is located corresponding to a film of the press unit. The bottom part has a first lip and a second lip formed to the inner periphery thereof. The top part has a first groove and a second groove in the outer periphery thereof. Multiple collars are telescopically connected to each other, and are connected between the top part and the bottom part. The main part is located in the multiple collars. Each collar has two engaging portions which form two engaging grooves to be engaged with each other when collapsing the collars.

An auto-injector device comprising an injector body having a proximal end and a distal end; a syringe received in the injector body; a needle disposed in a first end of the syringe to extend toward an opening in the distal end of the injector body; and a sealing element disposed at the distal end of the injector body for making a seal against a patient's skin. The auto-injector is configured to generate a reduced pressure to draw the auto-injector device against the patient's skin. The auto-injector device comprises a pressure-reducing mechanism configured to generate the reduced pressure within the injector body during an injection process. The pressure reducing mechanism comprises a moveable member configured such that movement of the moveable member from a first position to a second position enlarges a closed volume within the injector body to generate the reduced pressure within the closed volume.

A syringe device includes a barrel and a compressible portion is connected to one end of the barrel. A positioning board is located between the barrel and the compressible portion. The positioning board has a hole defined therethrough. A seat is formed to the underside of the positioning board and has a recess and multiple guide grooves which communicate with the recess. A hold part is connected to the distal end of the compressible portion and has a penetrating face. Two flanges respectively extend diametrically from the hold part. A needle is connected to the positioning board and communicates with the recess. The tip of the needle is located within the compressible portion and beneath the penetrating face. By axially compressing the compressible portion and the barrel, the needle penetrates through the penetrating face and extends beyond the hole to eject medicine to the patient.

The safety syringe assembly is for inserting a needle into a patient and comprises a needle hub assembly and a safety cover. The needle hub assembly includes a needle, needle hub, and hub flex unit. The needle is mounted on the front side of the needle hub while the rear side is for receiving a syringe. The safety cover houses the needle hub assembly in a first position during shipping, a second position during insertion of the needle into the patient, and in a third position after the needle has been inserted into the patient while awaiting disposal. A portion of the safety cover includes magnification enabling a user to view a dosage calibration scale, needle bevel and air bubbles. The hub flex unit assumes a first enlarged position during shipping, is compressed during insertion into the patient, and slides into a third position after usage while awaiting disposal.

A safety needle device is disclosed having a housing configured to couple to a syringe, the housing having a proximal end, a distal end, and a housing body. A needle hub is disposed on the proximal end of the housing and a needle cannula is attached to the needle hub. The device having a retractable sheath configured to move between an initial position, a retracted position and an extended position with respect to the housing, wherein the initial position partially exposes a distal tip of the needle cannula, the retracted position fully exposes the needle cannula, and the extended position fully covers the distal tip of the needle cannula. The safety needle device may include an activation latch, a lockout latch, a tether and a spring element to bias the retractable sheath to an extended state to cover the distal end of the needle cannula upon completion of an injection. The safety needle device may include a slider element disposed above an activation latch. A method of drug delivery is also disclosed.

Needle shielding systems are disclosed. The needle shielding system comprises a needle, a cover sleeve, and a needle shield. The needle has a needle tip and a needle bulge spaced apart from the needle tip. The cover sleeve is slidably mounted over the needle and comprises an end portion having an internal diameter smaller than the width of the needle bulge, and a cover sleeve shaft extending from the end portion towards the needle tip and having an internal diameter larger than the width of the needle bulge. The needle shield comprises a base plate slidably mounted over the needle adjacent to the end portion, and at least one resilient arm extending from the base plate towards the needle tip. In use the needle shield and cover sleeve move along the needle until the end portion contacts the needle bulge and the cover sleeve shaft and the arm cover the needle tip.
