The laminate has an elastomeric layer and a substrate and is joined to the chassis at a chassis attachment bond and positioned in one of the first or second waist regions. The ultrasonically bonded, gathered laminate also includes an ear structural feature comprising a surface modification to the substrate and comprising at least one of the following: embossing, apertures, perforations, slits, melted material or coatings, compressed material, secondary bonds that are disposed apart from a chassis attachment bond, plastic deformation, and folds.

Abstract: A pen delivery device and a procedure for administering parathyroid hormone is provided to allow for the priming and injection of a single predetermined dose. The method is a three-step method using visual indicators to set the priming and injectable dose deliveries. The device is made of a minimal number of parts, which include a housing, a dose knob, a generally cylindrical disengaging assembly located within the proximal end of the dose knob, and an externally threaded drive stem. The pen device further includes a mechanism that prevents the user from dialing up a dosage greater than that remaining in the cartridge.
