  • Publication number: 20230390493
    Abstract: A medicament delivery device is provided that has a body, a medicament container provided with a medicament delivery member arranged in the body, and a drive unit having a plunger rod and a drive spring. The drive unit is operatively connected to the medicament container. An activator is operatively connected to the drive unit. A safety mechanism is operatively connected to the plunger rod. In an initial state of the device, the plunger rod is held with the drive spring in a tensioned state and a safety mechanism is in contact with, and prevents release of, the plunger rod. When the device is pressed against an injection site, the activator acts on the safety mechanism for moving the safety mechanism out of contact with the plunger rod. The activator releases the plunger rod, causing the plunger rod to act on the medicament container for delivery of medicament.
