Abstract
An injection device for the self-administration of an injection of solution that includes a body portion/handle configured for engagement with a cartridge containing the solution and an injection needle. The injection device includes a safety mechanism whereby ejection of solution from the injection device cannot be done unless the safety mechanism is released. The injection device further involves two-stage deployment whereby a needle may be inserted upon release of the safety mechanism and solution is injected upon full insertion of the needle.
Claims20
An injection device for injection of a solution, the injection device comprising:
- a body portion having a cartridge end and a handle end, the body portion comprising:
- a main body;
- an injection assembly extending through the main body to the cartridge end and effecting insertion of a needle and ejection of the solution;
- an actuation button, wherein actuation of the actuation button leads to insertion of the needle and dispensing of the solution;
- and
- a safety mechanism, the safety mechanism being configured to prevent insertion of the needle and/or dispensing of the solution;
- and
- a cartridge removably couplable to the body portion at the cartridge end, the cartridge comprising;
- a syringe assembly including a drug chamber and a piston, wherein the drug chamber houses the solution;
- the needle;
- and
- a needle shield positioned over the needle;
- wherein the safety mechanism is released upon depression of the needle shield such that the needle may be inserted and the solution dispensed.
An injection device for injection of a solution, the injection device comprising:
- a body portion having a cartridge end and a handle end, the body portion comprising:
- an injection assembly wherein the injection assembly effects insertion of a needle and ejection of the solution;
- and
- a safety mechanism, the safety mechanism being configured to prevent insertion of a needle and/or dispensing of a solution;
- and
- a cartridge removably couplable to the body portion at the cartridge end, the cartridge comprising;
- a syringe assembly including a drug chamber and a piston, wherein the drug chamber houses the solution;
- a safety mechanism, the safety mechanism being configured to prevent insertion of the needle and/or dispensing of the solution;
- the needle;
- and
- a needle shield positioned over the needle;
- wherein the safety mechanism is released upon proper positioning of the injection device, wherein such release enables the needle to be inserted and the solution to be dispensed.
An injection kit for injection of a solution, the injection kit comprising:
- an injection device comprising:
- a body portion having a cartridge end and a handle end, the body portion comprising:
- an injection assembly;
- a safety mechanism, the safety mechanism being configured to prevent insertion of a needle and/or dispensing of a solution;
- and
- an actuation button, wherein actuation of the actuation button leads to insertion of the needle and dispensing of the solution;
- and
- a cartridge removably couplable to the body portion at the cartridge end, the cartridge comprising;
- a syringe assembly including a drug chamber and a piston, wherein the drug chamber houses the solution;
- the needle;
- and
- a needle shield positioned over the needle;
- wherein the safety mechanism is released upon depression of the needle shield such that the needle may be inserted and the solution dispensed;
- a staging tray including positions for receiving one or more cartridges;
- an injection template, wherein the injection template has holes for receiving the needle.
