    摘要: The present invention relates to an injection device for delivering set doses of a liquid drug to a user. The injection device has a scale drum for displaying the set dose, which scale drum is helically guided in a housing. The scale drum is thus rotational in relation to the housing between a zero position and a set position for displaying the set dose. Further, a needle cannula secured to a hub is mounted in an axially movable manner. The axial movement of the hub is generated by a spring. A blocking mechanism interacting between the scale drum and hub controls the axial movement of the hub such that the needle cannula automatically retracts from the skin of a user in response to the scale drum reaching the zero position.

    摘要: A medial assembly comprises a logging first unit adapted to be mounted on a drug delivery device second unit from a fully un-mounted to a fully mounted position along a path. The first unit comprises a switch operatable between an off- and an on-state when the first unit is mounted on the second unit, the switch being in the on-state when the first unit is mounted within a first distance from the fully mounted position, and in the off-state when the first unit is mounted outside the first distance from the fully mounted position, and a snap lock operatable from an initial state through an expanded state to a snap-in state when the first unit is mounted on the second unit, the snap lock being in the snap-in state when the first unit is mounted within a second distance from the fully mounted position, the second distance being shorter than the first distance. By this arrangement it is ensured that the switch will be in the on-state before the snap lock is in the snap-in state.

    摘要: A drug injection device (1) comprising a dose expelling mechanism for expelling drug from a reservoir through a reservoir outlet, the dose expelling mechanism comprising: a first component (40), a second component (10, 10′, 15′, 10″, 15″), and a torsion spring element (20) for inducing relative rotation between the first component (40) and the second component (10, 10′, 15′, 10″, 15″) to execute a dose expelling operation, the torsion spring element (20) extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising: a first spring end portion (22) being rotationally restrained with respect to the first component (40), and a second spring end portion (23) exhibiting an end portion inner diameter in a relaxed state of the torsion spring element (20), wherein the second spring end portion (23) is fitted over a spring receiving portion (11) of the second component (10, 10′, 15′, 10″, 15″), the spring receiving portion (11) having a transversal dimension which is larger than the end portion inner diameter, and the fitting of the second spring end portion (23) over the spring receiving portion (11) being configured to provide a sticking friction engagement between the two when the torsion spring element (20) is strained to exert a maximum in-use torque.

    摘要: A system comprising a state changing appliance and a drug delivery device, the state changing appliance comprising first interface means for rotationally locking to a first exterior portion of the drug delivery device, second interface means for rotationally locking to a second exterior portion of the drug delivery device, the first exterior portion and the second exterior portion being angularly displaceable relative to one another from a first relative position to a second relative position, which second relative position defines a set dose to be expelled by the drug delivery device, and limiter means for limiting a relative angular displacement between the first interface means and the second interface means.

    摘要: The invention relates to a derivative of a GLP-1 analogue, optionally C-terminally extended, which derivative comprises a first and a second protracting moiety in the form of a C20 or C22 diacid radical, a bis-amino branched linker, and a first and a second further linker each comprising an OEG-like linker element; wherein these elements are interconnected via amide bonds and attached to a Lys residue of the GLP-1 analogue. The invention also relates to intermediate products in the form of novel GLP-1 analogues incorporated in the derivatives of the invention, as well pharmaceutical compositions and medical uses of the derivatives. The derivatives have very long half-lives while maintaining a satisfactory potency, which makes them potentially suitable for once-monthly administration.
