Publication number: 20260249012Abstract: A medicament delivery device for injecting medicament is described. The medicament delivery device has a body having a proximal end and an opposed distal end. The device further comprises a needle for injecting medicament. An actuation member is movable relative to the body from a first position to a second position for dispensing medicament from the needle. A locking member is configured to rotate relative to the body from a pre-use position, in which the actuation member is prevented from moving to the second position, to a use position in which the actuation member is permitted to move to the second position. A coupling rotationally couples the locking member and the cap together when a cap is attached to the body, and thereby rotationally couples the locking member to the body, so as to prevent the locking member from rotating from the pre-use position to the use position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2025Publication date: August 27, 2026Inventors: Alexander Hee-Hanson, Thomas Lever, Michael Parrott, Robert Wilson, Haiming Wu

Publication number: 20260249020Abstract: The application relates to a syringe connector for a medicament delivery device. The syringe connector comprises a main body having a longitudinal axis. The main body comprises a first wall extending transversely to the longitudinal axis, an opposing second wall extending transversely, and a side wall connecting the first and second walls. The walls define a cavity configured to receive a proximal end of a syringe. The cavity comprises a syringe flange receiving portion located between the first and second walls and delimited by the side wall, and a syringe body receiving portion formed by an aperture extending through the second wall. The cavity extends to an opening in the side wall and the edge of the second wall such that a proximal end of a syringe can be inserted transversely into the cavity. The syringe connector further comprises a syringe retention element and an impact force reduction element.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2025Publication date: August 27, 2026Inventors: Alexander Hee-Hanson, Thomas Lever, Michael Parrott, Robert Wilson, Haiming Wu
