Abstract:
A novel single use auto-injector for delivering a fixed amount of medicament is described. The auto-injector may include a sealed housing rotatably held in a cover. Once the auto-injector is positioned at the injection location, the user can transition the housing from a locked to an armed position. The user can then compress the sealed housing into the cover, triggering activation mechanisms that initiate the injection. A first activation mechanism engages an interlock to prevent reuse of the auto-injector. A second activation mechanism straightens and extends a curved needle to a set the exposed needle length. A third activation mechanism pierces a sealed reservoir allowing the medicament to be forced through the injection needle. Following the injection, the auto-injector expands and interlocks, retracting the needle into the auto-injector and preventing reuse.

Claim (Index 39):
A compact auto-injector device for delivering a medicament dose subcutaneously or intramuscularly to a user, the device comprising:\n a housing; a medicament reservoir disposed in the housing adapted to contain the dose; and a needle extension system comprising an injection needle coupleable to the medicament reservoir, the needle extension system adapted to deploy the injection needle to facilitate dispensing of the dose by the auto-injector to the user, wherein the auto-injector comprises an aspect ratio of width to height of at least 1 at a time of delivery of the medicament dose to the user.
