Provided herein is a syringe comprising a syringe barrel including a distal barrel tip, a plunger assembly received within the syringe barrel, a needle fixedly inserted into the barrel tip, a tip ring positioned about the barrel tip and extending radially outward therefrom, and a needle shield removably connectable with the tip ring, with the needle shield positioned over the needle when connected to the tip ring. The needle shield includes a rigid outer casing defining an inner cavity, a compliant jupe positioned within the inner cavity at a distal end thereof and configured to retain the needle tip therein when the needle shield is connected to the tip ring and a compliant shield ring positioned within the inner cavity at a proximal end thereof and configured to engage the tip ring to retain the needle shield in place relative to the syringe barrel.

The present invention relates to adaptor (30) for a drug delivery device having a reservoir (12) and a longitudinal tip (20), the adaptor (30) comprising a distal part defining a connecting ring (31) intended to receive a connector, and a proximal part defining a mounting ring (33) having an inner surface (34), the mounting ring (33) being shaped and configured such that, when the adaptor (30) is mounted around the longitudinal tip (20) of the drug delivery device, at least one annular space (38) is created between said inner surface (34) of the mounting ring (33) and said outer surface (20a) of the longitudinal tip (20), said at least one annular space (38) being able to accommodate an adhesive layer (40) in order to bond said adaptor (30) to said longitudinal tip. The invention further relates to a drug delivery device comprising such an adaptor.

This casing (1) includes: a body (2) delimiting an inner cavity for receiving the injection device (5), the body (2) including a proximal end (204) and a distal end (202) configured for axially abutting against an injection site; a proximal stop (22) configured for blocking distal movement of the injection device (5) at a predetermined axial position within the body (2); a locker (3) for axially blocking the injection device (5) within the body (2), the locker (3) being movable with respect to the body (2) between an unlocked position allowing insertion or removal of the injection device (5), and a locked position in which the locker (3) prevents removal of the injection device (5) from the body (2); and a cap (4) removably attached to the body (2), the cap (4) including a gripping member (43) configured for gripping a needle shield (54) of the injection device (5), such that removal of the cap (4) from the body (2) entails removal of the needle shield (54) from the injection device (5), and a release element (44) configured for releasing the needle shield (54).

This casing (1) includes: a body (2) delimiting an inner cavity for receiving the injection device (5), the body (2) including a proximal end (204) and a distal end (202) configured for axially abutting against an injection site; a proximal stop (22) arranged on the body (2) for blocking distal movement of the injection device (5) at a predetermined axial position within the body (2); and a snap-fit member (3) arranged on the body (2) for blocking proximal movement of the injection device (5), the snap-fit member (3) being resiliently deformable between a release position allowing insertion or removal of the injection device (5), and a locked position in which the snap-fit member (3) prevents removal of the injection device (5) from the body (2).

The drug delivery system (1), comprises: - a first bag (21) containing a drug in liquid form; - a second bag (22) configured to be inflated to compress the first bag for expelling the drug; - a gas supply system (30) comprising a gas container (31) and a gas connector (40) for fluidly connecting the gas container to the second bag inlet (25), to inflate the second bag; - a dispensing system (50) comprising an injection device (51) and a liquid connector (55) for fluidly connecting the first bag outlet (23) to the injection device inlet (52), wherein: - in the inactive state of the dispensing system, the liquid connector blocks the fluid communication and the injection device is in a retracted position, - in the active state of the dispensing system, the liquid connector fluidly connects the first bag outlet and the injection device inlet, and the injection device is in an extended position for penetrating an injection site; - an activation system (100) comprising a trigger (101) which can be moved from a rest position to an activated position, thereby: - causing the gas supply system to go from its inactive state to its active state, thus causing the second bag to inflate and to compress the first bag; - and causing the dispensing system to go from its inactive state to its active state, thus allowing the drug contained in the first bag to be delivered to the injection site.

Provided herein is a method for manufacturing a prefilled syringe. The method includes providing a prefilled syringe including a syringe barrel defining a chamber containing a fluid therein and a stopper axially sealing the fluid in the chamber, with the stopper including one or more ribs forming a sealing surface with the syringe barrel. The method also includes performing a terminal steaming process on the prefilled syringe, with the terminal steaming process including a first steaming cycle that exposes the syringe to steam at a set temperature and a set pressure and a second steaming cycle that exposes the syringe to steam at the set temperature and the set pressure. Performing of the terminal steaming process reduces a diameter of at least one rib of the one or more ribs, to reduce a contact pressure between the stopper and the syringe barrel.
