Abstract: In an embodiment provided herein, an injection simulation device including a housing having a proximal end and a distal end is provided. The injection simulation device embodiment comprises a plunger having a proximal end, a distal end and being slidable relative to the housing, and a retractable injection simulation member at the distal end of the housing, at least one biasing member associated with the retractable injection simulation member and associated with the plunger, wherein a first force on a distal end of the injection simulation member causes movement of the injection simulation member from an extended position to a retracted position, to compress the first biasing member, and simulate the tactility of an injection to a user; and wherein a second force on the proximal end of the plunger asserts a third force on the first biasing member to facilitate resetting the injection simulation member to the extended position.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a positioning apparatus for guiding an injection device relative to a target surface having a representative plane is provided. The apparatus includes a housing defining a channel configured to receive an injection device, wherein a first angle is formed between a longitudinal axis of the channel and the representative plane of the target surface so as to guide the injection device through the channel to the target surface at the first angle, and wherein the housing comprises a stabilizing surface configured to abut the target surface to stabilize an injection according to the first angle.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an injection simulation device is provided. The injection simulation device may include a housing defining an opening, the housing having a proximal end and a distal end, a plunger movable relative to the housing, the plunger comprising a first interfacing portion, and distal movement of the plunger initiates an injection simulation, a rotatable component comprising a proximal end and a distal end, and an aperture extending between the proximal and distal ends of the rotatable component for receiving a portion of the plunger, rotatable component comprising a second interfacing portion for interfacing with the first interfacing portion to rotate the rotatable component when the plunger is moved toward the proximal or distal end of the housing. The injection simulation device may further include a stationary component defining a cavity for receiving the rotatable component, the cavity comprising a fluid, wherein movement of the plunger causes rotational and axial movement of the rotatable component, such that an interface between the rotatable component and the stationary component causes an increase in resistance during distal movement of the plunger, and a decrease in resistance occurs upon proximal movement of the plunger.
