Injection devices with ergonomic enhancements are disclosed. Generally, the injection devices include large oversized grips, including flanges at the base end of the device for enhanced stability. Push-type and squeeze-type devices are described, as well as manual injectors and auto-injectors. Such injection devices are useful for delivering a fluid (e.g. medication) to a patient.
