POWER ASSIST FOR A MANUAL AND AUTOINJECTOR INJECTION DEVICE

Abstract

A power-assisted injection device can administer a liquid medication. The injection device can include a syringe, a housing, and a motive force device. The syringe can include a plunger and a barrel configured for holding the liquid medication. The housing can include a body configured for holding the syringe. The housing can also include a latch configured to define a locked position that inhibits movement of the plunger and a released position that enables movement of the plunger. The motive force device can be configured for applying an injection force to the plunger to administer the medication while the latch is in the released position. The injection device can be configured for administering the liquid medication upon release of the latch from the locked position at least in part via the motive force device applying the injection force to the plunger of the syringe.
