Abstract:
An apparatus includes a housing coupled to a medicament container, which is coupled to a needle. An injection assembly is disposed within the housing and includes an energy storage member and an actuation rod. A distal end portion of the actuation rod is disposed within the medicament container. The energy storage member can produce a force on a proximal end portion of the actuation rod sufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container. This can convey at least a portion of a substance from the medicament container via the needle when a distal tip of the needle is disposed within a first region of a target location. The force is insufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container when the distal tip of the needle is disposed within a second region of the target location.

Claim (Index 15):
A method, comprising:\n inserting a distal end portion of a puncture member of a medical injector into a target tissue to define a delivery passageway within the target tissue; applying a first force to a housing of the medical injector such that a distal end surface of the housing contacts a target surface of the target tissue to fluidically isolate the delivery passageway; and while maintaining the first force, applying a second force to an actuation rod of the medical injector to move the puncture member distally relative to the housing such that a distal end portion of the puncture member moves from a first region within the target tissue to a second region with the target tissue, a substance from within the medical injector being conveyed to the target tissue in response to the distal end portion of the puncture member being disposed in the second region and not the first region, the second force being insufficient to overcome a backpressure of the first region to convey the medicament into the first region of the target tissue via the puncture member when the distal end portion of the puncture member is disposed within the first region.
