An injector device includes a housing having a slot with a locking portion and a needle unit that has a needle and a slot engagement portion that extends through the slot in the housing to an external side of the housing. The needle unit is movably mounted in the housing such that movement of the needle unit relative to the housing is restricted by the slot. The injector device also includes a cartridge that is mounted in the housing, the cartridge having a reservoir for medicament. Prior to use of the injector device, the reservoir is sealed from the needle. The slot in the housing is arranged such that the needle unit can be rotated to move the slot engagement portion out of the locking portion such that the needle unit can be moved into engagement with the cartridge to place the needle in fluid communication with the reservoir.
