Abstract: A medication delivery apparatus including a housing, a container of medication mounted to the housing, an outlet such as an injection needle, and a drive assembly adapted to force medication from the container and through the outlet upon movement of an actuator. The housing periphery includes a projecting abutment for digit engagement which is ergonomically designed for abutting contact by a first digit of a hand of a user when the housing is grasped within the user's hand such that a second digit of the hand of the user may operate the actuator. When the actuator is moved axially, this abutting contact of the first digit with the abutment permits application of an axial force by the first digit on the abutment in a direction generally opposite to an axial force applied to move the actuator.

Abstract: A device for aligning a syringe with a vessel having a variable internal volume and containing an injectable solution. The device includes one section for removably retaining a vessel of an injectable solution, one section for allowing insertion and extraction of a syringe, and another section adjoining the two aforementioned sections for accurately aligning the needle of the syringe with the opening of the vessel. The alignment device further includes a clip for both releasably retaining the vessel in the device and for enabling the device to be clipped to a shirt pocket.
