Abstract
A liquid infusion device comprising a bladder assembly, an approximately tubular housing, and a liquid-drug-dispensing portion. The bladder assembly comprises a rod-like inner shaft, a tubular outer shaft slidably encasing the inner shaft, an inner shaft supporter, and a bladder made of elastic material and placed outside two shafts. The housing contains the bladder assembly and has an inlet/outlet portion at an end of the housing. The inner shaft supporter has at least one port for liquid drug communicating with the inlet/outlet portion. An amount of liquid drug remaining in the bladder can be greatly reduced, since a clearance between the inner shaft and outer shaft can be made very small.
