1. A delivery device comprising:

  • a first housing portion;

    a second housing portion configured to selectively engage with and disengage from the first housing portion;

    a rotatable rotor supporting a grouping of coupled projections for movement in an annular path with the rotation of the rotor wherein the rotor comprises a rotary wheel supported for rotation about an axis of rotation and wherein the grouping of coupled projections comprises at least one rotatable roller supported for rotation on the rotary wheel about the axis of rotation;

    a conduit having a flexible portion arranged within at least a portion of the annular path of the grouping of coupled projections, each one of the grouping of coupled projections to be engaged in turn at a single location along the annular path when the second housing portion and the first housing portion are engaged, the flexible portion of the conduit being resiliently collapsible at the location of engagement of the coupled projection to provide an intermittent pulse of force at the single location as the rotor rotates the grouping of coupled projections along the annular path while the second housing portion and first housing portion are engaged, the conduit being connectable in fluid flow communication with an injection site;

    a collapsible reservoir having an interior volume for containing a fluid, the interior volume of the reservoir being in fluid flow communication with the conduit; and

    a drive device operatively coupled to the rotor for selectively rotating the rotor.
