Abstract

Pads for attaching medicament delivery devices such as autoinjectors to an injection site are presented that include a pad extending along an axis from a proximal end to a distal end, where the proximal end is the end of the pad adjacent to an injection site when the pad is in use, the pad can have an attachment portion configured to receive a medicament delivery device and a second attachment portion attached to the attachment portion, wherein the second attachment portion is arranged at the proximal end of the pad, and wherein the second attachment portion is configured to attach the pad to said injection site when the pad is in use.

Claims (29)

1 . A pad comprising:

a distal end;

a proximal end configured to be placed adjacent to an injection site when the pad is in use;

an axis extending from the proximal end to the distal end;

a first attachment portion configured to receive a medicament delivery device; and

a second attachment portion attached to the first attachment portion,

wherein the second attachment portion is arranged at the proximal end of the pad,

wherein the second attachment portion is configured to attach the pad to said injection site when the pad is in use, and

wherein the first attachment portion comprises a slider, the slider comprising a first slider arm and a second slider arm, wherein the first slider arm and the second slider arm are spaced apart from one another and configured to grip the medicament delivery device between the first slider arm and the second slider arm.

2 . The pad of claim 1 , wherein the second attachment portion is an adhesive portion, and the adhesive portion is configured to adhere the pad to said injection site when the pad is in use.

3 . The pad of claim 1 , wherein the pad comprises a medicament delivery member.

4 . The pad of claim 3 , wherein the medicament delivery member is a cannula.

5 . The pad of claim 3 , wherein the pad comprises an insertion mechanism.

6 . The pad of claim 5 , wherein the insertion mechanism comprises a needle for inserting the medicament delivery member into the injection site.

7 . The pad of claim 6 , wherein the needle of the insertion mechanism is offset from the axis.

8 . The pad of claim 1 , wherein the first attachment portion is configured to releasably receive the medicament delivery device.

9 . The pad of claim 1 , wherein the first attachment portion comprises a user manipulation portion and a medicament delivery device engagement portion, wherein the first attachment portion is configured such that when a user manipulates the user manipulation portion, the medicament delivery device engagement portion can be disengaged from said medicament delivery device.

10 . The pad of claim 1 , wherein the first attachment portion comprises an attachment arm configured to engage a feature of the medicament delivery device.

11 . The pad of claim 10 , wherein the feature of said medicament delivery device is a window frame.

12 . The pad of claim 1 , wherein a longitudinal axis of the medicament delivery device extends perpendicular to the axis extending from the proximal end to the distal end.

13 . An assembly comprising an autoinjector and the pad according to claim 1 .

14 . A pad for use with a medicament delivery device, the pad comprising:

a proximal end and a distal end, where the proximal end has a through opening;

an axis that extends from the proximal end to the distal end;

a first attachment portion configured to releasably receive a portion of the medicament delivery device such that a proximal end portion of the medicament delivery device aligns with the through opening; and

a second attachment portion arranged at the proximal end of the pad comprising an adhesive positioned adjacent the through opening, where contacting the adhesive to a delivery site will fix the pad to the delivery site and will support the medicament delivery device when inserted into the first attachment portion,

wherein the through opening is sized to allow a medicament delivery member to pass through and exit the through opening and be inserted into the delivery site, and

wherein the first attachment portion comprises a slider having a first arm and a second arm, where the first arm and the second arm are spaced apart from one another and where movement of the first arm and the second arm relative to a base portion of the pad will grip the medicament delivery device between the first arm and the second arm.

15 . The pad of claim 14 , wherein the first attachment portion comprises a flexible user manipulation portion and a medicament delivery device engagement portion, wherein when a user flexes and manipulates the user manipulation portion, the medicament delivery device engagement portion will disengage from the medicament delivery device that is aligned with the through opening.
