Abstract
Devices and methods for intradermal (ID) administration of diagnostic and therapeutic agents, vaccines and other compounds into the dermal layer of the skin are disclosed. The devices and the methods simplify the ID injection process and increase the consistency of the placement of the needle tip in the dermal space close to the skin surface allowing for a shallow cannula placement in the dermis. Furthermore, the devices and methods broaden the number of sites suitable for ID injection and make the ID injection possible with limited training.
