Abstract: A patch injection device comprising a housing, an adhesive substrate having a first surface with a first surface area for skin attachment and a second surface which is opposite the first surface attaching partly to the housing and a removable release liner. The surface area of the second surface attaching to the housing is smaller than the first surface area and the excess area defines a skirt of the substrate at least partially surrounding the housing. The first surface of the substrate attaches to the removable release liner which fully covers the first surface area of the substrate. Furthermore a pull tab is provided being part of the release liner and located in a cut-out of the skirt of the substrate such that a peel force is transmittable from the release liner to the housing at the location where the cut-out reaches the housing.

Abstract: Needle insertion mechanisms include a housing and a needle holder, the needle holder being linearly guided by the housing to be moved along the needle-axis. A slider linearly guided by the housing and transversally moveable with respect to the needle-axis from a first to a second slider position. The needle holder is operatively coupled to the slider when the slider is in the first position, thereby retaining the needle holder in a retracted position against the bias of a spring acting on the needle holder. In the second position the slider is decoupled from the needle holder and the holder is moved into an inserted position by the spring. A blocking member arranged between the slider and the housing blocking movement of the slider into the second position, is moved by an active drive thereby unblocking the movement of the slider and subsequently moving the slider to the second position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a detachable needle protection cap for injection devices and to a method for producing same. The detachable needle protection cap comprises a housing and at least two shell parts which can be attached to an outer surface of the housing, the shell parts being fastened to an outer surface of the housing. The shell parts can mutually prevent removal of the shell parts.

Abstract: A piston rod unit for a device for administering a medical substance delays a release of a mechanism of the device and includes an outer piston rod with a hollow space and a contact face for interacting with a stopper to discharge the substance, and an inner piston rod mounted in the outer piston rod to form a cavity at the distal end of the outer piston rod. The cavity contains a viscous fluid and a fluid displacement element located at least partially in the cavity that is operably or integrally connected to the inner piston rod. During relative movement between the fluid displacement element and the outer piston rod, fluid displacement causes movement resistance, such that mechanism release is delayed. The outer piston rod includes a distal, first piston rod part, comprising the contact face and the cavity, and a second piston rod part adjoining the first.

Abstract: An injection device for administering a liquid medicament includes a generally elongate housing, a syringe holder in which a syringe can be placed, said syringe containing a medication, a stop and a needle on the distal area thereof, a needle protection housing which is arranged so it can be moved axially on the housing and which protrudes at a certain distance from the distal end of the housing.
