Alignment of a Needle in an Intradermal Injection Device
First Claim
1. An adapter device (100, 200) for use in combination with a syringe (20) to form an assembly (10) for delivering an intradermal injection, comprising:
- a body (110, 210) connectable to the syringe;
a second primary skin contacting surface (132, 232) positioned at a distal end (126, 226) of the body; and
at least one support element (140, 150, 240) connected to the body,wherein;
with the assembly in an assembled condition;
the at least one support element supports a needle cannula (24) connected to the syringe, with the needle cannula supported by the at least one support element intermediate a base (26) and a tip (28) of the needle cannula, andat least a terminal portion (27) of the needle cannula proximate the tip extends axially in a direction at least substantially parallel to at least a planar portion of the second primary skin contacting surface.

Abstract
An adapter device (100, 200) for use in combination with a syringe (20) to form an assembly (10) for delivering an intradermal injection. The adapter device comprises a body (110, 210) which is connectable to the syringe. A second primary skin contacting surface (232) is positioned at a distal end (126, 226) of the body. At least one support element (140, 150, 240) is connected to the body. With the assembly in an assembled condition, the at least one support element supports a needle cannula (24) connected to the syringe. The needle cannula is supported by the at least one support element intermediate a base (26) and a tip (28) of the needle cannula. At least a terminal portion of the needle cannula extends axially in a direction substantially parallel to at least a planar portion of the second primary skin contacting surface.
