Abstract: A spray or injection device that includes a casing or a pusher that includes at least one tab configured to move radially between a first radial position in which the tab does not impede the movement of the pusher with respect to the casing, and a second radial position in which the tab opposes movement of the pusher. The tab includes an opening. The pusher or the casing, respectively, includes at least one ramp-shaped projection configured to bring the tab into the second radial position then to penetrate the opening thereby allowing the tab to return to the first radial position. The pusher or the casing, respectively, further includes at least one stop region against which the tab abuts when the tab is brought into the second radial position by the projection. The stop region occurring just before the projection being opposite the opening.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection assistance device (1) for an injection device (3) comprising one body (2) one needle (7) one piston plunger (26), characterized in that it comprises: a hollow sleeve (4) receiving the body (2), coupling means (10) for moving the piston plunger (26) from an end-of-insertion position to an end of injection position said coupling means being maintained in a passive state until said end-of-insertion position, spacer means (8) to maintain the piston plunger (26) and said body (2) in an initial position, disengaging means (22, 14, 15, 16) linked with the spacer means (8), said spacer means (8) and/or disengaging means (22, 14, 15, 16; 25, 31) being arranged in order not to free the distal displacement of said piston plunger (26) before the one of said body (2).

Abstract: A syringe assembly including a needle cannula having a five-beveled point and a needle shield formed of a styrene block poly(ethylene/butylene) thermoplastic elastomer which significantly reduces needle penetration force and may reduce the cycle time for gas sterilization. The multi-beveled needle cannula point includes a primary bevel, a pair of tip bevels and a pair of middle bevels each intermediate the primary bevel and a respective tip bevel, wherein the angles of rotation of the primary bevel and the intermediate bevels are substantially equal resulting in reduced heights of intercepts between the bevels, therby reducing needle penetration force. The needle shield maintains the sharpness of the needle cannula during application, sterilization and removal of the shield and it is believed that the needle shield will also reduce the cycle time of gas sterilization as compared to rubber needle shields and vulcanizate thermoplastic elastomers.
