Abstract: A needle mounting system and methods for mounting a needle assembly on a needle mount are disclosed. The needle mounting system includes a needle hub having protrusions extending radially inward. A needle mount has a plurality of slots to receive the protrusions. The slots have a first portion that defines a passageway substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the needle mount and a second portion substantially perpendicular to the axis. The needle hub and mount provide a method wherein a needle assembly may be mounted on an injection device without completely rotating the needle hub relative to the needle mount.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a delivery device suitable for treatment of diseases or conditions in which a drug has to be applied through the skin of a patient. Thus, a delivery device is provided for delivering a liquid drug into the body of a patient, comprising a reservoir having, in a situation of use, an outlet, an amount of a liquid drug contained in the reservoir, expelling means for expelling the drug out of the reservoir through the outlet, and actuating means for actuating the expelling means. In accordance with the invention, the expelling means upon actuation is adapted for expelling the drug contained in the reservoir during a period of approximately 7-9 hours.

Abstract: A needle assembly comprises an injection needle and a needle hub, mountable on a syringe, for securing the injection needle. The needle has an injection part extending axially from the hub and terminating in a skin piercing obliquely cut end. The length of the injection part is between 4 and 6 mm, thereby facilitating a proper subcutaneous injection. Also, preferably either (a) the outer diameter of the needle is smaller than 0.320 mm and the bore diameter is larger than 0.165 mm, or (b) the outer diameter is smaller than 0.298 mm and the bore diameter is larger than 0.133 mm. Also, preferably the hub includes an axially extending protrusion, from which the injection part extends, to facilitate insertion of the injection part into the skin of a user at an oblique angle.

Abstract: A syringe having a dose setting mechanism, a button which can be operated to inject a set dose, a switch operated at a time between the start and completion of injection, and an electronic presentation of parameters such as the size of a set dose and the size of the last dose administered. The syringe also has a stop watch which is reset and started responsive to operation of the switch. The electronic presentation includes an indication of the number of hours elapsed from the activation of the switch, and may also include, for a predetermined period initially following the activation of the switch, a presentation of the number of seconds elapsed. The latter presentation can provide a visual indication to the patient of the length of time, after the injection button has been actuated to inject the dose, that the needle should remain inserted in the skin.

Abstract: An injection member for a jet spray injection device through which device a dose of medicine is administered for subcutaneous or intramuscular injection has a jet nozzle designed as a skin-penetrating member having a length of 0.05-0.3 mm enabling it just to penetrate the stratum corneum.
