Device Description
Personal Injector is designed for the user - by a user, and here for a lot of emphasis has been put on functionality and injection comfort, appearance, surface, materials, weight, balance, and sound. Personal Injector is an injection system allowing the user to have maximum control and comfort while injecting.
Personal Injector differs from commonly known Auto-injector. Until today, marketed Autoinjectors are only for subcutaneous injections, and introduce both the needle and the drug in one motion. The injections are associated with discomfort, such as pain, blue marks, drug accumulation and swelling at the injection site. Personal Injector has a spring-loaded mechanism that only serves to introduce the needle to a pre-determined depth, either subcutaneous or intramuscular. Hereafter the patient can check for air bobbles and vein penetration, and perform a safe traditional manual injection of the drug, by slowly and steady pushing the plunger down. Personal Injector minimises pain and support the patient perform the manual drug introduction, avoiding almost all discomfort.
