Abstract
An apparatus for injecting a fluid includes: an injector including a cylindrical container, a coupling portion, and a peripheral section; a needle assembly including a needle and a hub defining a contact area, the coupling portion configured to be coupled with the hub; and a needle retention device including a needle-retainer portion having a finger configured to radially extend over at least a part of the contact area of the hub, a container-contact portion defining a first opening configured to be attached in a form-fitting way onto the peripheral section of the container. When the apparatus is in its operational state, the hub of the needle assembly is coupled to the coupling portion, the container-contact portion is attached to the container, and the finger of the needle-retainer portion extends over the contact area of the hub when the needle retention device is in its retaining position.
