A method and a device for needleless injection of liquid into a substrate, in particular of a liquid pharmaceutical or cosmetic preparation into a biological tissue, which makes it possible in a particularly advantageous manner to reliably inject a particularly fine liquid jet into the substrate without a significant increase in the static pressure in the liquid during the injection process. According to the invention, this is achieved by first accelerating the liquid received in a liquid container together with the latter to an initial velocity before the movement of the liquid container is stopped again, while simultaneously ejecting the liquid from the liquid container through an outlet nozzle under at least partial retention of its movement. Preferably, the ejected liquid jet is set in rotation about its jet axis before it impinges on the substrate, so that the jet receives a helical movement and thus practically drills into the substrate without splashing away laterally.
A method for needleless injection of liquid into a substrate, in particular a liquid, pharmaceutical or cosmetic product into a biological tissue, in which the liquid is ejected from a liquid container and through an outlet nozzle and exits this outlet nozzle at a high ejection velocity as a liquid jet which enters the substrate, wherein a plunger and the liquid container together with the liquid contained therein are all continuously accelerated in their entirety from a first position away from the outlet nozzle to an initial velocity and then the liquid container is stopped adjacent to the outlet nozzle, with the continuous acceleration generating sufficient force that the liquid continues to move at a high velocity sufficient to initially eject a first partial quantity of liquid from the container through the outlet nozzle into the substrate, with the plunger thereafter travelling towards the outlet nozzle at a lower velocity to eject a remaining second partial quantity of liquid from the container into the substrate.
An injection device for needleless injection of liquid into a substrate, in particular of a liquid, pharmaceutical or cosmetic product into a biological tissue, comprising a housing for accommodating a liquid container containing the liquid and an ejector device including a plunger for ejecting the liquid from the liquid container through an outlet nozzle, an acceleration device for continuously accelerating the plunger and the liquid container with the liquid contained therein in their entirety from a first position away from the outlet nozzle to an initial velocity inside the housing and a deceleration device adjacent the outlet nozzle for stopping the movement of the liquid container, wherein the acceleration device is configured to generate sufficient force that the liquid continues to move at a sufficient high velocity to eject a first partial quantity of liquid from the container through the outlet nozzle into the substrate, with the plunger thereafter configured to travel towards the outlet nozzle at a lower velocity to eject a remaining second partial quantity of liquid from the container into the substrate.
