  • Publication number: 20230149629
    Abstract: An injection device (10) comprises an injection solution receptacle (30) and a plunger (70) at feast a portion of which is slidably received in the injection solution receptacle (30), wherein the plunger (70) is displaceable relative to the injection solution receptacle (30) in a distal direction in order to expel an injection solution contained in the injection solution receptacle (30) from the injection solution receptacle (30). A first plunger stop mechanism (140) is adapted to stop a displacement of the plunger (70) relative to the injection solution receptacle (30) in the distal direction at a first dosing position (P1).

  • Patent number: 8443978
    Abstract: A package for a medicament, the package comprising a sleeve and a slide, the slide having a medicament region for containing medicament, the sleeve having opposed first and second major surfaces connected and spaced apart by a side wall to define an internal volume, the side wall further defining a slide opening, the slide being movable parallel to a slide axis between a position in which the medicament region is substantially within the internal volume and a position in which at least some of the medicament region extends outside the internal volume through the slide opening, characterized in that the sleeve includes a shoulder and the package includes biasing means, the sleeve and slide being arranged such that the slide is movable within the internal volume between a secured position, in which slide is substantially prevented from moving parallel to the slide axis by contact between a portion of the slide and the shoulder, and an unsecured position, in which the slide portion can move parallel to the s

  • Publication number: 20120226240
    Abstract: A syringe (2) for dispensing a fluid, the syringe including a barrel (4) including a discharge end (10) defining a discharge passage, and a plunger (15) disposed within the barrel, the plunger being adapted to move within the barrel such that the plunger and discharge end define a variable volume chamber within the barrel and the plunger is capable of displacing fluid from the chamber through the discharge passage; wherein the syringe includes a rotational element (20a, 20b, 24a, 24b) adapted to rotate about longitudinal axis of the syringe and which has a first axial orientation relative to the discharge end of the barrel and a first stop is provided on the plunger and/or the barrel which is adapted to limit axial movement of the plunger in the first orientation of the rotational element, and the rotational element has a second axial orientation relative to the discharge end of the barrel in which the first stop is disengaged and movement of the plunger is permitted to a second stop.
