Abstract
An injector adapter that permits an automatic injector to be releasably coupled to the skin of a living being without the need for a user to hold the injector against the skin during injection, especially in cases where the drug being delivered requires a slow rate of injection. In addition, another variation of the invention is described whereby the working end of the automatic injector includes an integrated injector adapter.
Claims43
An apparatus for use with an automatic injector for injecting a solution into a living being, said apparatus comprising:
- an injector-receiving member for receiving a portion of a housing of the automatic injector;
- and
- a living being-engaging member forming one end of said injector-receiving member and including releasable coupling means for releasably coupling said apparatus to the living being, said living being-engaging member comprising an aperture for permitting passage of the solution from said automatic injector, when activated, into the skin of the living being.
A method for delivering a solution to a living being using an automatic injector having an output for dispensing the solution, said method comprising the steps of:
- coupling a rigid structure to the skin of the living being, said rigid structure having an aperture in a portion thereof that couples to the skin of the living being;
- coupling said automatic injector to said rigid structure;
- and
- activating said automatic injector to cause the solution to pass from the output, through said aperture and into said skin.
An apparatus for automatically delivering a solution to a living being, said apparatus comprising:
- an automatic injector having a housing with a proximal and distal end, said proximal end comprising a skin-engaging surface and a hole for permitting the solution to pass therethrough;
- said skin-engaging surface comprising releasable coupling means for releasably coupling said apparatus to the living being;
- and
- wherein said apparatus delivers the solution, when activated, through the skin of the living being without the need for a person to hold said apparatus during solution delivery.
A method for automatically injecting a solution into a living being, said method comprising the steps of:
- coupling a proximal end of an automatic injector to the skin of the living being, said automatic injector having an aperture in said proximal end that is coupled to the skin of the living being;
- and
- activating said automatic injector to cause the solution to pass through said aperture and into the skin and without the need for a person to hold said automatic injector during solution delivery.
