Abstract
Substance-administration apparatus () is provided, including a housing (), and a needle (), couplable to the housing (), having a skin-insertion portion 0.3-2.5 mm in length and an outer diameter less than 0.23 mm. A dosage regulator () regulates a dosage of substance injected in a single injection through the needle (). Dosage is selectable by a setting of the dosage regulator () as one of a plurality of selectable dosages. At least one dosage is less than or equal to 10 ul. An injection driver (), activatable by a user, drives the substance through the needle (). A motor coupled to the injection driver () is actuated by the dosage regulator () in a pulsatile manner to produce brief periods of high pressure in the apparatus () that expel a predetermined volume of the substance through the needle () at a controlled rate. Other applications are also described.
