Abstract
A pen needle and a method of using the pen needle. The pen needle includes a housing, a needle carrier in the housing supporting a needle, a distal shroud positioned around the needle within the housing, a distal compression spring positioned around the needle between the needle carrier and the distal shroud, a proximal shroud positioned around the needle within the housing, and a proximal compression spring positioned around the needle between the needle and the proximal shroud. The proximal shroud is movable between a first position, in which the proximal shroud engages the distal shroud to hold the distal shroud in engagement with the housing, and a second position in which the proximal shroud is disengaged from the distal shroud allowing the distal shroud to move in a distal direction to project from the housing and surround a distal end of the needle.
