Abstract: A disposable unitary jet injector cartridge, filled with a medicament to be injected, includes an interrupted flange and collar adapted to releaseably affix the cartridge to a jet injector gun. When the gun is fired, a predetermined amount of medicament is injected from the sterile end of the cartridge without the need to sterilize either the gun or other portions of the cartridge. The cartridge is particularly useful for the self-administration of drugs and medicines by a patient.
Abstract: A hypodermic jet injector includes a resuable, spring-powered gun and a disposable unitary cartridge filled with a substance to be injected. The unitary cartridge has an interrupted flange which cooperates with a shoulder on the gun to releasably affix the cartridge to the end of the gun for use. A predetermined amount of sterile medicament is readily injected from the sterile end of the cartridge without the need to sterilize the gun. This is particularly useful for self-administration of drugs and medicines by the patient.
