It is known to deliver drugs through the skin, i.e. transdermally, by using a needle that is used in conjunction with a device. A device (10), for delivering a needle (110) to an injection site, comprises a rotation member (12) which is rotatable about a reference axis (Aref), the reference axis (Aref) being the central axis of the rotation member (12). The device (10) further including a needle support member (14) which is configured to support a needle (110) in use. The needle support member (14) being fixedly secured to the rotation member (12) such that rotation of the rotation member (12) results in the needle (110) supported by the needle support member (14) in use being delivered to an injection site. The central axis (AOffSet) of the needle support member (14) is parallel to the reference axis (Aref) such that the needle support member (14) is offset from the rotation member (12).
A device, for delivering a needle to an injection site, comprising:
The device according to any preceding claim further including a vibration member configured to vibrate relative to the device.
The device according to any preceding claim further including an elongate needle sleeve extending from the needle support member, the needle sleeve being configured to receive a needle in use.
The device according to any preceding claim further including an actuator surface in contact with the rotation member, wherein lateral movement of the actuator surface causes the rotation member to rotate.
The device according to any preceding claim wherein the rotation member further includes a vial receiving portion configured to receive in use a vial containing a pharmaceutical composition.
A device generally as herein described with reference to and/or as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3.
A needle delivery device assembly as herein described with reference to and/or as illustrated in FIG. 4.
