Abstract: A sprayhead for use with an aerosol container, the sprayhead including: a chassis; a rotatable circular collar; and a spray channel and associated actuator button, the spray channel passing through a central aperture in a bridge spanning a diameter of the collar, and being connectable to the aerosol container; the chassis including an annular skirt that, on a lower internal surface thereof, an annular valve cup securing bead that, when the sprayhead is attached to an aerosol container, grips the container such that the torque required to turn the chassis around the container is at least twice that required to turn the rotatable circular collar around the chassis.

Abstract: A medicated module for an injection system to co-deliver at least two medicaments is disclosed where a primary delivery device containing a primary medicament accepts a medicated module containing a single dose of a secondary medicament and where both medicaments are delivered through a hollow needle. The medicated module is user selectable so that it will deliver a priming dose of a primary medicament or both the primary and secondary medicaments. The module also contains a needle guard that locks after dose delivery. The needle guard prevents accidental needle sticks before and after an injection. A locking collar rotates during use as an inner protrusion follows three paths of a track located on the outer surface of a body housing. When the inner facing protrusion is in the third path, it encounters a hard stop and a rotational bias that locks the guard from further refraction and thus covers the sharp distal end of the needle.
