Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device (10), comprising a housing (11) adapted to receive a primary package (24), the housing (11) comprising a distal surface (11.1) adapted to be placed against an injection site and a proximal surface (11.2) opposite the distal surface (11.1), the proximal surface (11.2) adapted to be held in the palm of a user's hand during drug delivery, the housing (11) having a flat form-factor in such a manner that a first extension of the housing (11) between the distal surface (11.1) and the proximal surface (11.2) is less than at least one extension at right angles to the first extension.

A drug delivery device (10), comprising
- a housing (11) adapted to receive a primary package (24),
- the housing (11) comprising a distal surface (11.1) adapted to be placed against an injection site and a proximal surface (11.2) opposite the distal surface (11.1),
- the proximal surface (11.2) adapted to be held in the palm of a user's hand during drug delivery, the housing (11) having a flat form-factor in such a manner that a first extension (H, H′) of the housing (11) between the distal surface (11.1) and the proximal surface (11.2) is less than at least one extension (B, L, W) at right angles to the first extension.
The drug delivery device (10) of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the distal surface (11.1) is non-adhesive.
The drug delivery device (10) according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the distal surface (11.1) is rigid.
The drug delivery device (10) according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising a drive spring (30) adapted to apply a force in a forward direction to a piston (23) of the primary package (24) and/or a needle return spring (29) arranged to bias the first tip (17.1) towards the retracted position and/or a shroud spring (50) is arranged to bias the shroud (13) in the distal direction (D) against the housing (11) or against the needle module (18) and/or a needle spring (60) arranged to bias the needle module (18) in the distal direction (D) against the housing (11).
The drug delivery device (10) according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising a primary package (24) containing a medicament.
