Abstract
A therapeutic agent delivery system () includes a housing () and a drive wheel () rotatably carried by the housing. A plunger rod () may be rotatable with the drive wheel relative to the housing from a first rotational configuration to a second rotational configuration. The plunger rod may be translatable relative to the housing from a first translational configuration to a second translational configuration. A plunger restraint () may maintain the plunger rod in the first translational configuration when the plunger rod is disposed in the first rotational configuration. The plunger restraint may permit the plunger rod to translate to the second translational configuration when the plunger rod is disposed in the second rotational configuration. A needle may move from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration by the plunger rod when the plunger rod moves from the first translational configuration to the second translational configuration.
