Abstract
An assistive device for subcutaneous injections or implants. The assistive device is placed under a blood pressure cuff that displaces the skin and subcutaneous tissues of a patient at an insertion site in order to allow guided insertion of a needle or implant applicator into a subcutaneous fat layer. The skin and subcutaneous tissue is displaced or drawn, via pressure applied by the blood pressure cuff, through an injection window of a device body into a hollow cavity of the device body. A guide channel leads from a front side of the device body into the hollow cavity, and an applicator of an adapter is inserted through the guide channel into the subcutaneous fat layer.
