Summary:A pen needle for use with a drug delivery device includes a hub body having internal threads to receive the drug delivery device. A post is connected to the hub body. A needle is rigidly fixed to the post. The post is separable from the hub body such that the needle is removed with the post. The fluid path is not disturbed by such removal because the entire needle is removed with the post. Removal of only the post and needle reduces the volume of waste required for disposal, thereby increasing the effective capacity of a sharps container. Une aiguille stylo destinée à être utilisée avec un dispositif dadministration de médicament comprend un corps demboîtement doté de fils internes permettant daccueillir le dispositif dadministration de médicament. Un montant est relié au corps demboîtement. Une aiguille est fixée de manière rigide au dit montant. Ledit montant peut être séparé du corps demboîtement de telle sorte que laiguille soit retirée avec le montant. Le chemin de fluide nest pas perturbé par un tel retrait, car toute laiguille est retirée avec le montant. Le retrait du montant et de laiguille uniquement permet de réduire le volume de déchets nécessaire à lévacuation, augmentant ainsi la capacité utile dun récipient pour objets tranchants.
