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 1):
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 and such that a distal end surface of a housing of the medical injector is in contact with a target surface of the target tissue; with the distal end portion of the puncture member disposed within a first region of the target tissue and the distal end surface of the housing in contact with the target surface, exerting a force on an actuation rod of the medical injector, the force configured to produce distal movement of the puncture member relative to the housing such that the distal end portion of the puncture member enters a second region of the target tissue, distal movement of the puncture member relative to the housing in response to the force being limited when the distal end portion of the puncture member is disposed within the second region of the target tissue; and conveying, in response to the exerting and the distal end portion of the puncture member being disposed within the second region of the target tissue, a substance from the medical injector into the second region of the target tissue via the puncture member, the 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.
