AN AUTO-INJECTOR DEVICE FOR DELIVERING MEDICAMENTS

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to medication delivery devices and more particularly, to an auto-injector device for delivering medicaments.

BACKGROUND

With the advancement in technology, various injection devices, such as manual injection devices and auto-injector devices, are employed for administering medicaments for applications such as medical, therapeutic, diagnostic, pharmaceutical and cosmetic. Nowadays, users and healthcare professionals are more inclined towards using the auto-injector devices for administering medicaments. One of the prominent reasons for such inclination is a substantial reduction in the amount of training required for using the auto-injector devices.

Generally, an auto-injector device includes a prefilled syringe or cartridge filled with a specific volume of a medicament to be delivered to the user. A volume of the medicament filled in the auto-injector device depends on various parameters, such as a type of medicament and a medical condition of the user. Currently, the auto-injector device can only be configured to carry the specific volume of the medicament and fail to provide provisions for varying the volume of medicament without altering the constructional or operational features of various sub-components of the auto-injector device.

Hence, this may lead to a substantial reduction in the overall reusability of the auto-injector device for administering different types and doses of medicaments. Further, the type and dose of medicaments to be administered may act as design constraints for the manufacturing of the auto-injector devices. For instance, sub-components of the auto-injector devices are required to be manufactured based on the type of medicament and a corresponding dose of such medicament to be administered through the auto-injector device. This may result in a substantial increase in the overall manufacturing cost of the auto-injector device.

Further, the locking member 214 may be adapted to hold the spring release arm 220 in a locking position to ensure engagement of the spring release arm 220 with the plunger 216. In an embodiment, the locking member 214 may be adapted to circumscribe at least a portion of the spring release arm 220 to eliminate flexing of the spring release arm 220 in a radially outward direction with respect to the plunger 216 and thereby, ensuring engagement of the spring release arm 220 with the plunger 216.

Referring to FIG. 3a, FIG. 3b, and FIG. 4, the plunger 216 may include an engaging portion 402 extending along a length L of the plunger 216. In an embodiment, the engaging portion 402 may be embodied as one of spiral grooves and circular grooves, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The locking member 214 may be adapted to be engaged with the engaging portion 402 of the plunger 216 to hold the plunger 216 in the position within the auto-injector device 100. In particular, the locking member 214 may engage at one of the plurality of positions in the engaging portion 402 along the length L of the plunger 216.

The position of the plunger 216 with respect to the barrel 224 may be adapted to be adjusted to vary a volume of medicaments to be expelled from the barrel 224. The position of the plunger 216 may be adjusted by engaging the locking member 214 with the plunger 216 at one of a plurality of positions along the length L of the plunger 216. In an embodiment, the locking member 214 may include locking teeth 302 adapted to be engaged with the engaging portion 402 of the plunger 216. The locking member 214 may be operable between an engaged position and a disengaged position.

In an embodiment, the needle guard 210 may be adapted to move the locking member 214 from the engaged position to the disengaged position. In the engaged position, the locking teeth 302 may be engaged with the engaging portion 402 to hold the plunger 216 in a position away from the distal end 104 of the auto-injector device 100. In such a position, the plunger spring 218 may be compressed between the head portion of the plunger 216 and the locking member 214. Further, in the disengaged position, the needle guard 210 may move the locking member 214 towards the proximal end 102 of the auto-injector device 100. Owing to such movement of the locking member 214, the locking teeth 302 may be disengaged from the engaging portion 402 of the plunger 216. Subsequently, the plunger spring 218 may push the plunger 216 towards the distal end 104 of the auto-injector device 100 within the barrel 224 to expel the medicaments from the syringe assembly 206.

As mentioned earlier, the position of the plunger 216 with respect to the barrel 224 within the auto-injector device 100 may be adjustable for delivering different volumes of medicaments from the auto-injector device 100. Referring to FIG. 3b and FIG. 4, in one instance, the locking member 214 may be engaged with the engaging portion 402 at a distance X1 with respect to the length L of the plunger 216. In such an instance, the plunger 216 may be held at a position P1 with respect to the front portion 210-1 of the barrel 224 within the auto-injector device 100.

Owing to such a position of the plunger 216, the barrel 224 may hold a volume V1, i.e., a maximum volume, of medicaments for dispensing through the needle 222 during the operation of the auto-injector device 100. In another instance, the locking member 214 may be engaged with the engaging portion 402 at a distance X2 with respect to the length L of the plunger 216. In such an instance, the plunger 216 may be held at a position P2 with respect to the front portion 210-1 of the barrel 224 within the auto-injector device 100. Owing to such a position of the plunger 216, the barrel 224 may hold a volume V2 of medicaments for dispensing through the needle 222.

Although, in the illustrated embodiment, operation of the plunger 216 and the locking member 214 is explained with respect to the positions P1 and P2 of the plunger 216 within the auto-injector device 100. As would be appreciated by the person skilled in the art, the plunger 216 can be locked at a plurality of positions by the locking member 214 for varying the volume of the medicaments to be delivered from the auto-injector device 100 as per the requirement, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

FIGS. 5a-5c illustrate operation of the auto-injector device 100 for delivering medicaments, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 6 illustrates an enlarged sectional view of a portion A of the auto-injector device 100 as shown in FIG. 5c, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Firstly, in order to deliver the medicaments to the sub-Q region of the patient through the auto-injector device 100, the cap 106 may be removed from the distal end 104 of the auto-injector device 100 to expose the needle 222 of the syringe assembly 206.

Further, referring to FIG. 5b, the distal end 104 of auto-injector device 100 may be placed on the site of injection i.e., like skin, corresponding to the sub-Q region of the patient. In an embodiment, the site of injection may be selected based on various parameters, such as a medical prescription, type of medication, and volume of medicament to be injected, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Subsequently, the auto-injector device 100 may be pressed against the skin such that the needle guard 210 is pressed against the skin which results in movement of the needle guard 210 in a direction towards the proximal end 102 of the auto-injector device 100. Owing to such movement of the needle guard 210, the needle 222 may be inserted in the sub-Q region of the patient for delivering the medicaments. Further, upon injecting the medicaments, the auto-injector device 100 may be moved away from the skin which results in the movement of the needle guard 210 to cover the needle 222 of the auto-injector device 100. This substantially eliminates probable injuries which might cause due to exposed needle while withdrawing the auto-injector device 100 from the injection site.

Referring to FIG. 5c and FIG. 6, the movement of the needle guard 210 may push the locking member 214 towards the proximal end 102 of the auto-injector device 100. Such movement of the locking member 214 may result in disengagement of the locking teeth 302 with the engaging portion 402 of the plunger 216. In particular, the locking teeth 302 may move in a lateral direction away from the engaging portion 402 and thereby, unlocking a movement of the plunger 216 under a resilient force of the plunger spring 218. Subsequently, the plunger 216 may move towards the distal end 104 of the auto-injector device 100 within the barrel 224 under the resilient force of the plunger spring 218. The plunger 216 may push the medicament held within the barrel 224 for delivering the medicament to the sub-Q region of the patient through the needle 222 of the syringe assembly 206. In an embodiment, a rubber stopper (not shown) may be attached to the plunger 216 and adapted to be moved along with the plunger 216 within the barrel 224 to expel the drug held within the barrel 224 of the syringe assembly 206. The rubber stopper may be adapted to be inserted in the barrel 224 in a manner that the rubber stopper may act as a sealing member to prevent egress of the drug from one end of the barrel 224. The rubber stopper may be moved along with the plunger 216 to expel the drug from the barrel 224 through the needle 222 positioned at another end of the barrel 224.

As would be gathered, the auto-injector device 100 of the present disclosure includes the locking member 214 adapted to lock the plunger 216 at different positions in order to administer different volumes of medicaments through the auto-injector device 100. The plunger 216 may include the engaging portion 402 extending along the length L of the plunger 216. The locking member 214 may be engaged with the engaging portion 402 to hold the plunger 216 in a pre-loaded position for expelling the medicaments from the syringe assembly 206. The locking member 214 can be engaged with the engaging portion 402 at different positions along the length L of the plunger 216 in order to vary the volume of medicament to be administered through the auto-injector device 100.

Therefore, the auto-injector device 100 can be re-used for different types and doses of medicaments without incorporating any alteration to the sub-components of the auto-injector device 100. In particular, this may eliminate the requirement for manufacturing different sub-components of the auto-injector device 100 for administering different types and doses of medicaments. Further, this substantially eliminates the overall manufacturing cost of the auto-injector device 100. Therefore, the auto-injector device 100 of the present disclosure is flexible in implementation, compact, cost-effective, convenient, and has a wide range of applications.
