  • Patent number: 11400224
    Abstract: A safety arrangement for being used in a medicament delivery device, comprising a container holder with a body section and a flange seat and a shell. The container holder is arranged to receive a container with a longitudinal body at one end passing over into a distal flange and at an opposite end passing over into a proximal orifice via a shoulder, such that the distal flanges of the container contacts the flange seat of the container holder. Moreover, the container holder is arranged in the shell such that the container holder is movable in a proximal direction in relation to the shell. A blocking element is arranged between the shell and the container holder. A blocking initiating structure is arranged to reposition the blocking element when the container holder is moved in the proximal direction in relation to the shell from a first position to a second position.

  • Patent number: 9446204
    Abstract: The invention relates to a safety device for an injection syringe, the injection syringe including a body having an injection needle fitted thereon, the device including a plunger rod including a distal plunger part slidably movable in the body of the syringe, and a proximal triggering part, configured to trigger the displacement of a protection sheath, from an injection position, wherein the needle is uncovered, towards a safety position, wherein the needle is covered by the sheath. The proximal triggering part is able to move relative to the distal plunger part once the distal plunger part is at the distal end of its stroke, to trigger the displacement of the protection sheath.

  • Patent number: 8303535
    Abstract: A compact and one time use, self-administration device (10) for administering medication is disclosed. The device includes a housing (12) having a start button (26), a status indicator (28), a window (30), and a surface removably attachable to a user. The device (10) has a cartridge holder (34) providing in an aseptic environment a cartridge (32) containing the medication. The cartridge (32) is viewable through the cartridge holder (34) and the window (30). An included drive unit (42) provides a movable plunger (126) that breaks through a sterile barrier (130) of the cartridge holder (34) to dispense the medication from the cartridge (32) to an hollow needle (38) for administering the medication into the user.
