Abstract
The disclosure relates to a cartridge assembly for a drug delivery device, the cartridge assembly comprising a cartridge containing a drug; a cartridge holder, the cartridge holder defining an interior cartridge holding section, where the cartridge is arranged within the cartridge holding section, wherein the cartridge holder comprises a distal region with a needle connector arranged at a distal end of the distal region and a main body region; a fixing feature which is arranged at the distal region; and a region with reduced mechanical stiffness compared to the stiffness of the main body region, the region with reduced mechanical stiffness being integrated into the distal region and arranged between the needle connector and the fixing feature, such that when the cartridge is moved in a proximal direction, an emerging load is transferred from the cartridge to the fixing feature and to the main body region in the proximal direction.
