摘要:
An auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament (M) is presented comprising an elongate housing arranged to contain a syringe with a hollow needle and a stopper for sealing the syringe and displacing the medicament (M), the housing having a distal end (D) and a proximal end (P) with an orifice intended to be applied against an injection site, wherein the syringe is slidably arranged with respect to the housing. The auto-injector contains a spring means capable of, upon activation, pushing the needle from a covered position inside the housing into an advanced position through the orifice and past the proximal end (P), operating the syringe to supply the dose of medicament (M), and retracting the syringe with the needle into the covered position after delivering the medicament (M). There is also an activating means arranged to lock the spring means in a pressurized state prior to manual operation.
