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.

A protective assembly includes a body for receiving the syringe; and a coupling device inside the body, rigidly connected to the barrel as regards to axial movement relative to the body. The coupling device includes an attaching element which can be either in an engaged state to axially fix the coupling device and the plunger rod, or in a release state in which the coupling device and the plunger rod are axially free relative to one another. The coupling device is axially movable in the body from a storage position to an injection position in which the needle extends beyond the body, and in which the attaching element can move towards the release state. The coupling device is axially movable in the body from the injection position towards a safety position, in which the needle is covered by the body.

An accessory for an injection device having a safety shield and at least one flange adapted to allow a user to grip the injection device and a syringe sheath moveable relative to the at least one flange from a pre-injection position to a locked-out position. The accessory comprises a body portion comprising a recess adapted to receive the safety shield of the injection device and a slot adapted to receive the at least one flange of the injection device.

An injection device for injecting a substance into a body, including a syringe having: a needle, a barrel, a stopper, a plunger rod, moveable from an initial position to a final position, a needle shield, moveable at least from a retracted position to a safety position, a locking unit, arranged to lock the needle shield into the safety position, a locking actuator moveable at least: from a non-actuating position, into which the locking unit is in an open mode, to an actuating position, into which the locking actuator is arranged to put the locking unit in closed mode so that the needle shield can be locked into the safety position.

The invention relates to a drug delivery device comprising: a syringe with a body from which a needle extends and an inner sheath; a piston rod comprising a piston and an actuation head, a support sheath for holding the body. It is envisaged that the support sheath and the actuation head comprise corresponding indicators.

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 in which the recess is exposed to receive the injection device, and a closed position in which the cover at least partially closes the recess to hold the injection device in the body portion. The accessory further comprises a cap remover comprising a grip adapted to hold the needle cap. The cap remover is moveable with respect to the body portion.

Described is a cap for covering a needle shield on a needle of a medicament container, the cap comprising a cylindrical portion having a first outer diameter, a disc portion disposed on a distal end of the cylindrical portion, the disc portion having a second outer diameter larger than the first outer diameter, and a gripping surface disposed on an inner surface of the cylindrical portion and adapted to a frictionally engage a needle shield on a needle.

The safety device includes a tubular body extending along a longitudinal axis. The tubular body is configured to receive the medical container, a needle cover movable relative to said body between a retracted position, and an extended position in which the needle cover distally extends from the retracted position in order to shield the injection needle after activation of the safety device, a release element configured to move the needle cover from the retracted to the extended position after activation of the safety device, and a retainer for maintaining the release element in a compressed condition when the needle cover is in the retracted position. The retainer is configured to transmit a user's activation force to the needle cover once the injection operation is completed. The needle cover includes a distal abutment surface, said distal abutment surface abutting against a proximal abutment surface of a bump protruding from the body in the retracted position of the needle cover. The bump extends in a circumferential direction according to a central angle comprised between 22.5°-45°.
