  • Dampers and methods for performing measurements in an autoinjector
    Patent number: 10709842
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring and damping forces within autoinjectors in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, an injection system comprises a syringe disposed within a housing, the syringe having a first end and a second end; a needle disposed at the second end of the syringe; a plunger disposed at the first end of the syringe and configured to move toward the second end of the syringe; a stopper disposed between the plunger and the second end of the syringe; a first damper disposed between the plunger and the stopper, such that the first damper is capable of damping a first event occurring between the plunger and the stopper; and a second damper disposed at the second end of the syringe, such that the second damper is capable of damping a second event occurring at the second end of the syringe.
