Abstract
A drive assembly includes a drive ribbon that can be retracted and extended. The retracted ribbon defines a spiral and the extended ribbon defines a helix. The drive ribbon is incrementally moveable between the retracted spiral configuration and extended helical configuration to move a piston within a container. A medical delivery device for advancing a piston in a medicament container to expel a medicament can include such drive assembly.
