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 22):
A method, comprising:\n inserting a distal end portion of a puncture member of a medical injector into a first region of a target tissue to define a delivery passageway within the target tissue, the puncture member placing a substance within a housing of the medical injector in fluid communication with the first region, an adjustment member being movably disposed within the medical injector and forming a substantially fluid-tight seal with a side wall of medical injector; after the inserting and with the distal end portion of the puncture member disposed in the first region of the target tissue, exerting a force on the adjustment member such that the force in conjunction with the substantially fluid-tight seal produces movement of the distal end portion of the puncture member relative to the housing and from the first region to a second region of the target tissue; and conveying, in response to the exerting, a substance from the medicament container into the target tissue via the puncture member when the distal end portion of the puncture member is disposed within the second region of the target tissue.
