Abstract
A skin retention devicefor a medical jet-injection unithaving a contact face provided with adhesivein the area surrounding and close to the injection opening(s)of the nozzlewhich ensures good contact between the nozzleand the skinof a subject in the area chosen for an injection. The injection force can be lowered dramatically. In case of two-stage jet-injections, the initial injection force can be lowered because the skin retention close to the injection point significantly reduces the energy consuming elastic expansion of the skinin the injection area, and the second injection force can be lowered because of the high degree of fixed positioning of the injection opening of the nozzlerelative to the injection channel in the skinmade during the initial injection stage.
