  • Publication number: 20240390585
    Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing having proximal and distal ends and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, an injection assembly at least partially disposed within the housing including a needle or a cannula, a drive assembly operably coupled with the injection assembly, a shield slidably coupled with the housing and operably coupled with the drive assembly, and a retention mechanism. The drive assembly is engageable to deliver a medicament via the injection assembly. The shield is positionable in an extended position in which at least a proximal end extends a distance beyond the proximal end of the housing and a retracted position where the proximal end of the housing protrudes a distance beyond the proximal end of the shield. Moving the shield to the retracted position engages the drive assembly to deliver the medicament via the injection assembly.
