A medicament delivery device () for delivery of medicament from a container () into an injection site through a cannula (). The device comprises a chassis (), a drive mechanism () for driving a piston member () along a container axis (A) to expel the medicament through the cannula (), and a carriage () for retaining the container (), the cannula () and the drive mechanism (). An insertion mechanism () is provided for moving the carriage () in an insertion direction (H) relative to the chassis (), and a cannula bending mechanism () is provided for bending the cannula () about a bending axis (B) to substantially align at least an end part of the cannula () with the insertion direction (H) prior to movement of the carriage () in the insertion direction (H).

Medicament delivery device

A medicament delivery device () for a delivery of a medicament from a container () through a cannula (). The device comprises a chassis (), a carriage (), and an insertion spring () for biasing the carriage () for movement in an insertion direction with respect to the chassis () from a starting position in which the cannula () is shrouded to an insertion position in which the cannula () is extended. A drive mechanism () is provided for driving a stopper () of the container () to expel the medicament. The drive mechanism () is carriage by the carriage () and comprises a movable drive member (), a drive means () for applying a driving force to the drive member (), and a force transmission means () for transmitting the driving force to the stopper (). The drive means () is arranged around or alongside at least part of the force transmission means ().

A cartridge () for packaging a medicament and being suitable for use with multiple different types of dosing device is described, together with dosing devices and adaptors for dosing devices. The cartridge includes a generally tubular body () having an interior cavity (), a closure member () disposed at a distal end of the body and comprising a sealing element (), a piston member () disposed in the cavity to contain the medicament between the piston member and the sealing element (), a coupling element () disposed at the distal end of the body for coupling the cartridge to a dosing device () or to an adaptor for a dosing device, and a seal arrangement () for receiving a sealing element release member () of the dosing device or adaptor. The coupling element () is arranged for engagement with an engagement part () of the dosing device or adaptor to clip the cartridge () to the dosing device or adaptor () upon insertion of the cartridge to the dosing device or adaptor, and the seal arrangement () is disposed distally with respect to the sealing element () and is arranged to form a seal around the release member () when the cartridge is coupled to the dosing device or adaptor.
