Drug delivery device, comprising a needle, which a distal end and a proximal end comprises an inner surface forming a channel, an outer surface, a first salient located on the outer surface.

Drug delivery device with retractable needle

A drive member and a rotation member are rotatable with respect to a housing. The drive member comprises drive fingers, which are resilient or resiliently mounted. A slider is disposed at the drive member and is axially movable between a first position, in which the slider keeps the drive fingers constrained, and a second position, in which the drive fingers are released. A unidirectional rotational clutch engages the drive member with the rotation member. The clutch is formed by the drive fingers when the slider is in the first position. The drive member and the rotation member are disengaged when the slider is in the second position. The slider is in the first position when a unit is attached to the housing, and in the second position when the unit is removed.

Drive mechanism for a drug delivery device and drug delivery device

A needle assembly () for a drug delivery device () comprises a needle seal (), a needle retainer () and a needle (). The needle retainer () secures the needle () against displacement with respect to said needle retainer () when a dose of drug is being delivered. The needle seal () is configured to push onto the needle retainer () after delivering the dose of the drug, thereby unlocking the needle () from the needle retainer ().

Needle assembly

A keying insert for use with a cartridge assembly containing a fluid. The insert comprises a main body defining a bore that extends from a proximal end to a distal end of the main body and allows the fluid to dispense from the distal end of the cartridge through a septum. The main body includes a septum for sealing the fluid within the cartridge and a coding feature that is keyed to a cartridge holder or other dispense interface.

Coded keying insert for medicament cartridge

A drug delivery device for dispensing of a dose of a medicinal product, comprising a holder () for a product-containing cartridge (), the cartridge () having a piston () slidably arranged therein in an axial direction, a piston rod () to be operably engaged with the cartridge's piston () for dispensing of a dose of the medicinal product, and at least one spacer () being selected according to a relative distance between piston () and piston rod () and being disposed between the piston rod () and the piston () for eliminating axial clearance between piston () and piston rod ().

Drug delivery devices and method of assembly

Drug delivery device, comprising a body unit having a first opening and a second opening, a plunger arranged such that its distal end is positioned inside the body unit, wherein the plunger is moveable in the distal direction with respect to the body unit, a needle assembly, with a proximal end and a distal end comprising a needle, wherein the proximal end of the needle assembly and the distal end of the plunger are configured such that they can get into an adhesion connection.
