Publication number: 20240108815Abstract: This autoinjector includes a housing extending along longitudinal axis A and having an opened distal end, said housing being configured to receive a medical container having a barrel defining a reservoir for containing a medical product, said barrel having a distal end provided with an injection needle. A needle cover is coupled to and axially movable with respect to said housing between a first extended position, a retracted position, and a second extended position. A cap is removably attached to the opened distal end of the housing. A retainer is coupled to the housing for blocking a proximal movement of the needle cover from the first extended position to the retracted position as long as the cap is attached to the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventor: Michael Fiard

Publication number: 20240001033Abstract: The autoinjector includes a housing extending along longitudinal axis (A) and configured to receive a medical container having a barrel defining a reservoir for containing a medical product, said barrel having a distal end provided with an injection needle and an opened proximal end. A power pack arranged inside the housing for expelling the medical product from the medical container. The power pack includes a plunger rod configured to extend through the opened proximal end of the barrel for pushing a stopper arranged inside the barrel. The plunger rod is axially movable between an initial position and an injection end position distally located with respect to the initial position. Resilient adjustment means are arranged between the plunger rod and the barrel for compensating clearances between the plunger rod and the barrel.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Arnaud Murier, Vincent Delobelle, Michael Fiard
