Syringe holder for a medical injector and method of forming a medical injector assembly

Abstract:

A syringe holder (200) comprising: a body (210) extending along a central longitudinal axis and adapted to receive the barrel (110) of a syringe (100), wherein the body (210) includes at least two body sections (240) disposed around the central longitudinal axis, the body sections (240, 240A, 240B) having distal ends with shoulder sections (250) adapted for being received in a circumferential gap (150) between the barrel (110) of the syringe (100) and a needle shield (120) covering a needle (130) of the syringe to retain the syringe (100) so as to prevent the syringe from moving distally (D) relative to the syringe holder (200), wherein the body (210) further comprises a plurality of expandable connector arrangements (230) each interconnecting pairs of the at least two body sections (240, 240A, 240B) so that the body sections (240, 240A, 240B) and the expandable connector arrangements (230) form a closed loop in the circumferential direction around the barrel (110) of a syringe (100) held by the body (210), wherein the expandable connector arrangements (230) are so configured that the body sections (240, 240A, 240B) are movable between a non-retaining position and a retaining position.
