Abstract
A device that prevents the accidental activation and lockout of an autoinjector. In illustrative embodiments, a resistance unit is configured to resist deployment of the needle until a critical force is applied by the user to the autoinjector, at which point, the resistance of the resistance unit is overcome. Continuous application of force by the user after the resistance is overcome drives the delivery device to the injection site where the medication is administered.
