Auto-Injectors
An autoinjector, sometimes known as an auto-injector, is a medical device used to administer a dose of a specific medication. The injectors were first created to help people who were hesitant about using a needle-based drug delivery system on themselves. The majority of autoinjectors are disposable, spring-loaded, single-use syringes (prefilled syringes). Auto-Injectors are created to be simple to use and to be administered by patients themselves or by unskilled persons. Depending on the substance loaded, the injection site may vary, however it is commonly delivered into the buttocks or thigh. Autoinjectors are a waste of sharps.
