A needle-less device for the parenteral administration of a medicament is disclosed.
The medicament has the shape of one end of a toothpick. It is placed in the bore
of a barrel with the barrel having the shape of a nose cone at one end. A plunger
is inserted into the other end of the bore. The plunger forces the medicament through
the skin and into the subcutaneous layer of the patient without the need for penetration
of the skin by a needle.
