Embodiments of the invention relate to an applicator for inserting an implant under the skin of a patient. The applicator comprises a housing containing a cannula that is fixed to a cannula holder and is slidably received within said housing. The cannula comprises an aperture at its distal end and a lateral opening. The implant is accommodated within the cannula and/or the cannula holder. A securing mechanism retains the implant inside the cannula. This mechanism comprises an arm configurable between a first position, which prevents the implant from exiting through the cannula's aperture, and a second position that enables the implant's placement under the skin through the aperture. Said lateral opening is situated between the aperture and the distal end of the implant. In the first arm position, the arm partially enters the lateral opening, thereby obstructing the implant from exiting through the aperture.

Inhaler

An inhalator for the inhalation of powdered drug preparations from capsules which contain the powdered preparations. The inhalator has a mouthpiece or nosepiece and an assembly including: a capsule holder including a capsule chamber, the capsule chamber having an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening; a capsule opening device for opening a capsule; a finger-operable actuator. The inhalator further includes a rigid outer shell including a lower shell part hinged to an upper shell part so that the shell is openable and closable, the shell serving to cover and protect the assembly and the mouthpiece or nosepiece. The assembly and the mouthpiece or nosepiece are removable as a hinged unit from the open shell as a hinged unit without dismantling either unit, or the shell is arranged so that the contours of the rim of each shell part match the contours of the rim of the other around each shell part when the shell is in the closed condition, or the assembly is retained in the lower shell part and is not moveable in normal use with respect to the lower shell part.
