Ampule Autoinjector Systems And Methods

An autoinjector comprising:

• an outer body;
• a first trigger;
• an output needle;
• a first compartment, wherein the first compartment is positioned within the outer body and comprises (i) a main body and (ii) a first biasing member coupled to the first trigger;
• a second compartment positioned in the outer body and in fluid communication with the first compartment and the output needle;
• and
• a second biasing member coupled to a second trigger;
• wherein the first biasing member is configured to, upon application of force to the first trigger, automatically move an ampule when loaded in the main body relative to the main body to force the ampule against a portion of the first compartment, so as to break the ampule and allow a medicament within the ampule to flow from the ampule to the second compartment;
• and
• wherein the second biasing member is configured to, upon application of force to the second trigger, automatically force medicament from the second compartment to the output needle.

A method of automatically injecting a medicament, the method comprising:

• an autoinjector receiving into a first compartment an ampule holding a medicament;
• in response to application of force to a first trigger, a first biasing member automatically moving the ampule relative to a main body of the first compartment, so as to break the ampule and allow the medicament within the ampule to flow from the ampule to a second compartment of the autoinj ector;
• and
• in response to application of force to a second trigger, a second biasing member automatically forcing medicament from the second compartment to an output needle of the autoinj ector.
