摘要

A cartridge assembly apparatus (106) for an auto-injector includes a flexible container (108) containing a liquid medicant (110). A needle hub (140) is connected to the flexible container (108). A needle (144) is attached to the needle hub (140) and extends proximally from the needle hub (140). A frame (154) is connected to the needle hub (140) and includes a frame proximal end (156) extending proximally beyond a proximal end (158) of the needle (144). The needle hub (140) and the needle (144) are displaceable relative to the frame (154) in a proximal direction to insert the needle (144) into a patient.
