  • Patent number: 12115362
    Abstract: A container for delivering a medicament to a target location includes a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, the housing including a cap locking tab at the distal end, and a vial containing the medicament. The container includes a plunger slidable within the vial from a proximal end to a distal end of the vial to dispel the medicament, an injection member associated with the distal end of the vial, such that the medicament dispelled from the vial passes through the injection member to the target location, and a slidable interaction member associated with the distal end of the vial configured to slide with the vial. An interaction between the slidable interaction member and the cap locking tab causes the cap locking tab to bias outward, and placement of a safety cap on the container after use locks the safety cap onto the container via an interaction with the cap locking tab. The container may further include a resistance feature to control movement of a plunger rod relative to the vial.

  • Publication number: 20150100024
    Abstract: A medicament delivery system including a container for storing a medicament prior to use is provided. The container includes one or more openings therein, a first housing for containing a medicament, a stopper, a second housing, wherein the first housing is held within the second housing and the first housing is movable relative to the second housing. The system further includes an injection member a spring disposed between a lower portion of the first housing and a lower portion of the second housing, wherein an actuation mechanism interacts with the container to eject the injection member from the second housing, and the stopper moves relative to the first housing in a first direction to deliver the medicament through the injection member, and following injection, the injection member is retracted into the second housing to prevent an unintentional contact with the injection member.
